The manager was unhappy at Leicester’s equaliser, claiming there was an offside in the penalty area before James Maddison’s free-kick went all the way through and in, although VAR disagreed, but he was more alarmed at how his team fell apart after Jamie Vardy had made it 2-1.
The goal came after a collision between the Liverpool goalkeeper, Alisson, and the debutant centre-half, Ozan Kabak. Harvey Barnes would make it 3-1 on 85 minutes, with Leicester’s goals coming inside a seven-minute burst, and it meant Liverpool had lost three Premier League games in a row for the first time since November 2014.
Jürgen Klopp said: “We dominated Leicester, we scored a great goal but then conceded a strange one, which is offside. The 2-1 is a mistake but it had too big an impact. There was still time to go. We have to show a different reaction. When we conceded the second, in that manner, it was a knock and I didn’t like the reaction after that.
“We all know Ozan is a really good player but he’s not used to all the things that we do and when you play with Alisson, you know he is offensive-minded and comes out of his goal. It was a misunderstanding. It can happen.
“The first goal gave Leicester a mood-lift. They get a present and then we make another present and then the third one, which we gave away too easily. That’s what I don’t like.”
Klopp was asked whether he had conceded the title. “Yes,” he said. “I cannot believe, but yes. I don’t think we can close the gap.”
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp claimed his players found it diffficult to respond to a clear “offside” as a VAR controversy marred Saturday’s defeat to Leicester City.
The reds were leading through Mohammed Salah’s strike before an incredible late fightback saw Manchester City grab all three points at the King Power Stadium.

All of a sudden Liverpool’s goalkeeper Allison has strted making mistakes that are costing them. His season has hit a new low.
Moments after James Maddison fired in the equaliser, the Brazilian keeper was involved in a horrible mix-up with debutant Ozan Kabak that gifted Jamie Vardy the win.
It was the third high-profile mistake by the Liverpool stopper in a week following his bloopers against Manchester City.
Harvey Barnes then grabbed a third just two minutes later as the Red’s title hopes went up in smoke.
Salah handed Liverpool the lead in the 67th minute, latching onto Firmino’s brilliant back-heel. Maddison set the tone for the comeback, bending his free-kick towards the far post beating Alisson. Within minutes, Leicester took the lead through Vardy.
Alisson and Kabak had a mix-up and the ball fell to the prolific forward to score possibly the easiest goal of his career.
Barnes finished the game off, racing clear of Kabak and firing low past Alisson, who can’t seen to catch a break with the mistakes.
