Liverpool boss Klopp: Our performance wasn't good enough

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp could not hide his anger during a post-match press conference on Thursday.

The Reds experienced a surprising Europa League defeat to Toulouse in France.

Despite going into the game as favourites, Klopp's side were beaten 3-2 and denied a late equalizer due to a VAR decision.

Post-game, Klopp - who conducted his presser in a tent - blasted: "Who had the idea to do the press conference here?

“That will be a really interesting question. Wow."

He added on the disallowed goal: "I only saw the video back now and for me it's not a handball, but how can I decide that?

"The ball goes to the chest and then I don't see a contact with the arm, to be honest. Maybe they had a different picture than I had.

"It was pretty long ago before we scored the goal and I thought, 'Where is the free-kick?'

"I didn't see it properly but I heard there could have been a penalty for us in another situation, I don't know.

"Actually, I am a bit more concerned about [the fact that] I would have loved us to have played better, to be honest.

"That's my main issue tonight. In a football way more aggressive."
