Jürgen Klopp said he feels “really sick” with Liverpool’s defending after they conceded two poor goals, both on the back of set pieces, during a damaging defeat against Leicester City that ended their interest in the Carabao Cup and extended the club’s disappointing run of results. Shinji Okazaki scored Leicester’s first after Liverpool could only half-clear a corner and Islam Slimani added the second following a throw-in, leaving Klopp lamenting familiar failings. “The story of this game is really easy to tell,” the Liverpool manager said after the 2-0 defeat. “After the first goal you saw the heads from Leicester went up, that was a bigger difference,” he said. But that we concede like this, that makes me really, really sick.”
