Despite the fact that "Liverpool" lost to London's "West Ham" in the FA Cup tournament yesterday, and the main team sniper Christian Benteke missed his chances, coach Jurgen Klopp praised the form demonstrated by the Belgian.
The defeat suffered by the "Reds" was particularly painful, as defender Angelo Ogbonna secured victory for the "Hammers" in the final minute of extra time.
Benteke, on the other hand, took as many as nine shots, but left the field without scoring in the 11th consecutive match.
"Ask 80 or 90 percent of the world's snipers - whether they are of high, low quality, or have no quality at all - they will tell you that they have also had such days," Klopp said after the match.
"It is what it is, and we need to continue working. There is no other way but to keep doing our job. Everyone wants easy goals, but they don't help. You have to play, improve, but there is always the desire to do everything right away. Christian's situation is not unique."
"Nevertheless, today's match was good, just lacking in finishing top-quality chances. He did a lot and worked hard, so it was a big step forward, which is positive for both us and him."
Throughout this season, in over 30 games, Benteke scored seven goals and made five assists in all competitions.
