Alan Shearer has rejected Jurgen Klopp’s assessment that Manchester United came to Anfield just to defend. Liverpool could only manage a 0-0 draw with old rivals United. United arguably had the better of the chances. But after the game Klopp hinted that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side had only come to keep them out, as they failed to score again. "The worst thing you can face in football is to play against a side with world-class players and they all defend with all they have. It is really difficult, it is the biggest challenge," Klopp said. "The way we understood the game, the way we felt the game, the way we read the moments were really good. But it is not exactly how it should be so we have space for improvement, absolutely. We will keep working on that." However, Shearer disputed Klopp’s verdict. "I wouldn’t agree with that (suggestions from Klopp that United came to defend), I thought they grew into the game," Shearer said. "First half they defended deep and got men behind the ball. But second half I thought they were the better team, Man United. They had two exceptional chances and with those chances, should have won the game.”
