Klopp “sick” as Liverpool are dumped out of Carabao Cup by Leicester City

Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp, has said that he felt “sick” at the type of goals they conceded in their 2-0 loss to Leicester City on Tuesday night.
The defeat sees the Reds eliminated from the Carabao Cup at the third round stage.
Klopp’s men failed to deal with a loose ball in the area, allowing Shinji Okazaki open scoring in the second half. The 31-year-old then carried the ball up and played in Islam Slimani, who powered in a superb drive past Danny Ward.
“That we conceded like this, that makes me really, really sick,” Klopp admitted afterwards.
“That’s hard. Then the reaction, you saw a young team, we played one-twos on the left wing at 2-0 and then [Leicester] made a counter-attack. These are mistakes I can live with because the two boys [Ben Woodburn and Solanke] together are about 34 [in combined age], so that can happen.
“But defending set pieces, it wasn’t the first ball [for the first goal] – we had problems with this and now we had it with the second or third even and then the throw in.
“As long as you concede goals like this it makes life really difficult.”
