Jurgen Klopp after 0-0 draw at Everton
“Im really, really disappointed about your question,” said the German.“We don’t play PlayStation. Do you think we didn’t take enough risks?“There’s not a moment where we say, ‘Come on now, throw everything in that direction’. You cannot play in the Premier League like that.“We take all the risks but you cannot take more than 100 per cent risk, going nuts.I don’t think I have to give my players advice because they know it already. We are not little boys any more.”Murphy, however, believes the journalists line of questioning was fair and says Klopp should have been more attacking-minded in his substitutions.Nearly all the time Liverpool play to win – they play on the front foot, press high and play attacking football, the former Reds midfielder told talkSPORT host Jim White.Jurgen Klopp deserves great credit for that and thats why the fans love him and enjoy watching Liverpool play.But over the last couple of weeks where you could argue where he hasnt quite gone for it and hes been a bit cautious, is with his substitutions.![Liverpool will wonder how they failed to win the game against Everton](https://talksport.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2019/03/GettyImages-1128529325.jpg?strip=all&w=960&quality=100)
