Jurgen Klopp believes his team should have seen off
Manchester United before Amad Diallo’s dramatic late winner. But the
Liverpool boss admitted that it was the first time this season that he had seen his side ‘struggling’. Klopp said: “We could have won the game and we would have deserved it. We were outstanding but we had to finish the game off and we didn’t. At 2-1 up, we had so many chances to kill the game off - we were in a rush in some moments and the rest is already history. “The boys gave everything. It was a period in the second half when we should have finished it but we didn't and we knew they could come back. I think my boys showed incredible character again… (but) it was the first time I saw my team struggling. You cannot compare our season to United's with the amount of games.” Man Utd's forgotten star saves season with FA Cup winner vs Liverpool - 8 talking points Amad Diallo sent off seconds after scoring Man Utd winner in FA Cup victory over Liverpool After Alexis Mac Allister and
Mohamed Salah had responded to Scott McTominay’s opener, Liverpool dominated but failed to make their superiority count. “Our decision-making was not great,” said Klopp. “Our second half was exceptional but when we didn’t finish the game off, it got really hard for us. The decision-making doesn't get better the longer the game goes on. Congratulations to United for going to the semi-final."
