Ian Wright baffled by 'strange' Jurgen Klopp approach to Liverpool clash with Man City

Ian Wright has criticised Liverpool's press following their 1-1 draw against Manchester City at the Etihad

Jurgen Klopp's side snatched a point at the home of the European champions thanks to Trent Alexander-Arnold's late strike

At one point during the first half, Ederson managed to pass the ball around 45 yards to Bernardo Silva. That pass took out several Liverpool players and led to Phil Foden having a shot on goal.

Wright believes Liverpool's players failed to execute Klopp's famous gegenpressing system against City

Wright urged them to address the problem sooner rather than later. "I don't know what they were trying to do," Wright told Match of the Day.

"Were they pressing or not? Ederson took six or seven players out with one pass. It was a problem all day for Liverpool, how easy City were able to break through their lines. It was very strange how easy Liverpool made it for them."

Although Liverpool weren't at their best, they did well to escape Manchester with a point. Pep Guardiola's team had won 23 consecutive home games in the Premier League before Liverpool's visit

Alan Shearer applauded Liverpool's resilience.

Shearer said:

"You have to give them credit for digging in there and staying in the game and coming back in the way they did. The save from Alisson kept them in the game."
