Jurgen Klopp has refused to be drawn on Liverpool's goalkeeping situation but admitted his side need to avoid making the same mistakes.

The spotlight has fallen on Simon Mignolet after his blunder allowed Granit Xhaka to equalise in the Reds' 3-3 draw with Arsenal.

Klopp's side went from 2-0 up to 3-2 down within five manic second half minutes, before Roberto Firmino rescued a point with 19 minutes remaining.

The finger has been pointed at the Belgian goalkeeper for his error which led to the Gunners' second as he failed to divert a long-range effort from the Swiss midfielder over the bar.

Though Mignolet has been largely solid since his return as no.1 last December, there is now fresh attention on his battle with Loris Karius to be the club's first-choice goalkeeper.

When asked if his rotation over the next few games would extend to the goalkeeper, Klopp said: “We will see, we will see. I didn't make decisions about the line-up in this moment, perhaps I didn't think about it until now.”

Liverpool were the better side at the Emirates – immediately after the game, Klopp would say it was 89 minutes of good football, five minutes of bad – but once more lost a position of superiority due to poor defensive work.

Aside from Mignolet for Xhaka's strike, Joe Gomez was culpable for the first goal when allowing Alexis Sanchez to steal in at the back post, while Emre Can lost Mesut Ozil for Arsenal's third.

Philippe Coutinho and Mohamed Salah had earlier put Liverpool 2-0 ahead, but they remain just one point ahead of their rivals in fourth.

“The draw feels really not good but that's good because we were again the better side,” he added. “It was draw number eight, a game we should have won like all the other draws we had.

“That in development, even when no one wants to hear that, is a very important thing. It's a very difficult league performance wise, we are really consistent so far.

“If we stay consistent and avoid our mistakes like the ones we made tonight, we will win far more games than we lose or draw.

“We have to perform first of all and see how the team can react.”

Liverpool will not have to wait long to put Friday's disappointment behind them, with three games in a six-day spell.

The Reds face home games with Swansea and Leicester before travelling to surprise package Burnley on New Year's Day.

Klopp will come up against a relative unknown in the opposition dugout with Leon Britton in interim charge of the Welsh club following the sacking of Paul Clement.

But having lost the corresponding fixture 3-2 last season – one of just two defeats at Anfield – the German boss is taking nothing for granted.

“Hendo won't feature for sure, he's out,” Klopp added. “That makes it even worse the feeling of tonight because so far we were really okay with these kind of injuries.

“Now we're in the middle of this period it's not too cool. Nobody else, a few knocks how it always is, but they should be okay again and that's the situation.

“It's a difficult game to play, we know that because there are no easy games.

“I would like to say I know him (Britton) well, but that would be a lie. I know him as a player of course, but that's what Mainz did with me. Lifelong player, he's a much better player than I was so that makes it more difficult, I think there's a chance (for him).

“We will be between his dreams and we know our situation.”
