More to come from Benteke – Klopp
Against a defensive Sunderland, Liverpool looked for the early goal but found it heavy going. “I’m sure I should say not too much about this”, Klopp said.

Allardyce said: “I didn’t think we deserved to lose it on the basis of how lucky their goal was”.
For Allardyce’s men, it was a fifth successive defeat, which leaves them seven points adrift of safety and facing a massive bottom-of-the-table clash with Aston Villa on Wearside on Saturday.
Klopp shrugged off those comments, stating that it was “absolutely not a problem” and that he had been called “worse” things. Tonight was our squad we have at the moment. With the Capital One Cup and Europa League we have four games more than most other teams – at an intensive moment – because we have been successful.
Sunderland did not make things easy for Liverpool, but Klopp felt hard done by after Black Cats midfielder Jeremain Lens put in a hard challenge on Reds defender Mamadou Sakho.
Allardyce also joked that the former Borussia Dortmund coach was a “soft German”, something the Reds chief was quick to brush off.
The two Premier League bosses were involved in a heated exchange during Wednesday night’s encounter between their two sides, with Allardyce accusing his rival of using foul and excessive language towards his coaching staff.
Jurgen Klopp went on to keep expectations realistic for the Anfield faithful’s by playing down Liverpool’s chance of winning the title this season.
“Everyone knows Hendo is a really tough guy and yesterday he tried, then I saw, ‘Come on, let’s change, we have a fully recovered Lucas on the bench, so we can change, ‘ and that’s what we did”.
“You can see we both have 30 points, and you can see how at Manchester United the atmosphere isn’t the best, so you can see how football can be sometimes”.
He said with a smile: “We are celebrating now the whole way from here to the plane, and then we fly home and go to bed and prepare ourselves for West Ham”.
“2015 has been a good year, I had the longest holiday in my life”.
