Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp took aim at West Brom after the Baggies came from two goals behind to hold his side to a 2-2 draw.
Danny Ings scored his first goal since 2015 to give the Reds the lead at the Hawthorns, before Mohamed Salah's delightful chip put them two goals up. But Jake Livermore and Salomon Rondon ensured Darren Moore kept his unbeaten record as caretaker manager.
Klopp, on the other hand, was left incensed at the full-time whistle and placed blame on the pitch and the referee after his side dropped two points on Saturday afternoon.
“I was not happy with the pitch,” he told Sky Sports. “It was a tough game, especially after the pitch was getting dryer and dryer and we had the ball constantly so that makes it not so easy.
“West Brom obviously decided not to water the pitch at half-time and it was quite difficult after that.
“You (the interviewer) have never played football obviously, because it makes a massive difference.
“If the pitch is dry you can't pass the ball through three or four yards.
“That is the easiest thing in the world, if they play football, but if you do it like West Brom the ball is constantly in the air [so] you don't need a wet pitch but that's how it is so we have to deal with that.
“They can do it next year playing football with a dry pitch in the Championship. That's how it is and we have to deal with it.”
