KLOPP CRITICISES BAGGIES' PITCH
Blames "dry pitch" for dropping points
 
The Hawthorns

Liverpool FC threw away a 0-2 lead at West Brom on Saturday to finish the game 2-2, conceding two late goals to the almost relegated Baggies.

 

After the game, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp voiced criticism of the surface at The Hawthorns, complaining of a "dry pitch" and the "difficult conditions".

 

"West Brom decided not to water the pitch at half-time and that makes it difficult," Jurgen Klopp was quoted by the BBC.

 

"It makes a massive difference. A team like West Brom do not need a wet pitch, they can do it next year playing on a dry pitch in the Championship."

 

West Brom caretaker manager Darren Moore responded to those comments by saying the pitch "was not a tactic" and was "the same for both teams".

 

"It was a hot afternoon - we watered the pitch before the game," said Moore. "The heat has dried out the pitch."
