Jurgen Klopp endures Kop frustration

Jurgen Klopp’s Anfield debut ended in a frustrating draw against 10-man Rubin Kazan, as Liverpool registered their third successive 1-1 Europa League draw.

With all the focus still on the new manager it was Liverpool’s other, somewhat forgotten, German, Emre Can, who delivered an equaliser just before half-time to cancel out Marko Devic’s surprise opener.

Their numerical advantage — Oleg Kuzmin was sent off for a second bookable offence in the 37th minute — should have produced a winner, but for all the new-found positivity, even a manager as accomplished as Klopp will take time to correct endemic failings.
