Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp insists there was "90 per cent" positives from their 2-0 defeat at home to Everton.

The Reds lost to Everton by goals from Richarlison and Gylfi Sigurdsson.

Klopp insisted: “The first goal which we have to defend better gave the direction of the game. It was unnecessary. There were plenty of good football moments so we did well from a creative point of view but we had to chase the game and were not clam enough.

Everton defended deep and full of passion but there were still moments where we were completely free in the box but we didn't finish.

“In the second half we changed formation a little because we wanted to cause them more problems. Immediately we had big chances. Sadio [Mane] twice in the box and Bobby was twice in promising positions, so we had all these moments.

“The penalty was late and wasn't really decisive so we don't have to talk about that too much.

“We could talk about this for an hour in detail and you would realise what you were talking about would be 90% positive but 10% was not and we have to change 10% because it makes the difference result wise."
