Liverpool could only find the net once as they were held to a 1-1 draw at Spartak on Tuesday, with Philippe Coutinho yet again finding himself on the scoresheet.

The Brazilian started alongside Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah, with Daniel Sturridge also introduced in the final minutes of the game. The former Chelsea player missed a sitter in the late stages which should of given Liverpool the win.

«It is good when you have all these players but it is not [just] lining up the players, they all need rhythm and it was a very intense game,» Klopp said.

«It is not about the names it is about how we perform. There were good saves from both goalkeepers and wrong decisions at the decisive moment.

«That is how football is. The only way you can change it is to do it again and do it again.»
