Jose Mourinho congratulates Jurgen Klopp on Liverpool’s “fantastic” DEFENSIVE mentality

The Special One claims that Liverpool had a defensive mentality during their bore-draw with Manchester United on Monday night

Jose Mourinho has congratulated Jurgen Klopp on masterminding a “fantastic defensive” Liverpool performance at Anfield on Monday.

Manchester United were criticised for their negative approach to the match, but boss Mourinho yesterday praised the Liverpool boss for succeeding with HIS safety-first tactics to the no-score bore.

“We didn’t get the result we wanted,” said the United boss. “We wanted to win and just got a point so we were not 100 per cent successful.

“I think you are very unfair with Liverpool because Liverpool had a fantastic defensive performance.

“For the first time they played with two defensive midfielder players. For the first time they played with Henderson and Can together.

“For the first time they took a striker off to play another midfielder.

“You are very unfair with that because that 0-0 result was because two teams were really good defensively.”
