Jurgen Klopp angrily rebuffed suggestions that Liverpool were too conservative in their approach during Sunday’s 0-0 draw at Everton, declaring: “We don’t play PlayStation."

The Reds endured a frustrating afternoon at Goodison Park as they failed to find the goal that would have seen them leapfrog Manchester City in the Premier League title race.

It was the seventh league draw of the season so far for Klopp’s team, with four of those having come in their last six outings to hand Pep Guardiola’s champions the initiative.

But, when pushed on whether he might have taken more risks with his substitutions in order to break the deadlock, Klopp offered an indignant response.

He said: “We don’t play PlayStation. Do you think we didn’t take enough risks today? Is that you want to ask?

“That’s a really disappointing question, I have to say, because that means it’s like it’s so easy. I tell the boys to take more risks, ‘Come on boys, we go for it!’

“Is there any draw we didn’t try to win? What is that? An extra attacker just to go wild nine matchdays [from the end]?

“You think it’s PlayStation, bring an extra attacker and football changes. It’s not like that. We are offensive enough, football doesn’t work like that.

“There are nine games to go, we don’t lose our nerve like you obviously. It’s the second time you ask a question I really don’t get.

“City won yesterday in a game where they had 20 chances with one shot in the short corner that Boruc usually picks, but they won it.

“So another striker and another striker, yes, sometimes you need them and sometimes you don’t do it. Sometimes you need the right things in the right moment, it doesn’t only work if another striker [comes in].

“You cannot start with four or five strikers in a striker way, nothing else to do but try to score.

“We have an offensive team and we take the risk, no doubt about that, but it’s not like that. There’s not a moment where we say, ‘Come on now, throw everything in that direction’.

“You cannot play in the Premier League like that. We play next week Burnley, if we play only offensive they kill us in the counter-attack, 100 per cent, whatever we want.

“They don’t wait for us, they see where we have problems and try to punish us there. Just always prepare the game like you should prepare.

“We take all the risks, but you cannot take more than 100 per cent risk, going nuts. It’s not about that.”
