Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp admits he is more concerned with side\u2019s defensive display than the role VAR played in denying his side a late Europa League draw in Toulouse.<\/p>\n

Individual mistakes and a lack of collective cohesion saw the hosts take a 3-1 lead but Diogo Jota\u2019s 89th-minute strike, after Cristian Casseres\u2019 own goal had got them back into the game, set up a dramatic conclusion.<\/p>\n

In the seventh and final minute of added time 20-year-old centre-back Jarell Quansah thought he had equalised but\u00a0after a long delay referee Georgi Kabakov was advised to go to the pitchside monitor and he ruled Alexis Mac Allister had handled the ball, even though it had initially bounced up off his chest very early in the move for the goal.<\/p>\n

\u201cI only saw the video back now and for me it\u2019s not a handball \u2013 but how can I decide that?\u201d said Klopp.<\/p>\n

\u201cActually, I am a bit more concerned about (the fact that) I would have loved us to have played better, to be honest. That\u2019s my main issue tonight.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the end, we were intense, we threw everything in, but the problem is in a football game you have to make the decisive things in the right moment to do them right.\u201d<\/p>\n

Liverpool\u2019s problem was a side registering nine changes from Sunday\u2019s draw at Luton never found any rhythm or structure and opponents who were hammered 5-1 at Anfield a fortnight ago took full advantage.<\/p>\n

They were not helped by Kostas Tsimikas\u2019 error dawdling in possession costing them the important opening goal to Aron Donnum.<\/p>\n

\n

Defending-wise it was just not good enough<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cWe cannot concede the goals we conceded again,\u201d added Klopp.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe first goal can happen, but then it happened in the second half with similar situations: we were completely open, last line too deep, counter-attack.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey scored five goals, two disallowed, and that is obviously then not good. Yes, the result is the opposite of good, but the performance was just not good enough.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was well deserved to lose because they won pretty much all the decisive battles. We had too many situations where we should have won the ball but we didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn top of that we gave the ball away easily at least twice \u2013 one was a goal, the other I am not sure if it was an allowed goal or a disallowed goal.<\/p>\n

\u201cDefending-wise it was just not good enough.\u201d<\/p>\n

Defeat ends a three-match winning run and although Liverpool remain top of the group their advantage has been cut to two points.<\/p>\n

They also missed out on guaranteeing top spot early and therefore also skipping the additional play-off round in the knockout phase after LASK\u2019s victory over Union Saint-Gilloise meant victory would have given them an unassailable lead.<\/p>\n

The consequences of that are if Toulouse win their next game against Union the race to top the group will go down to the final round, and with Liverpool\u2019s trip to Belgium coming immediately before the Premier League visit of arch-rivals Manchester United Klopp would have been hoping that fixture was a dead rubber to allow him to rest players.<\/p>\n
