Jurgen Klopp says there is little to gain from dressing down his Liverpool players before they reconvene on Sunday after a painful 4-1 loss to Manchester City.
After Mohamed Salah's opener was cancelled out by Julian Alvarez before the break, the Reds capitulated in the second period at the Etihad. Goals from Kevin De Bruyne, Ilkay Gundogan and Jack Grealish condemned Klopp's side to their ninth defeat of the Premier League campaign.
In a three-game week that will also see Liverpool host league leaders Arsenal after Tuesday's trip to Chelsea, the demoralising defeat was the worst possible start to such a vital run of fixtures in their top-four chase.
