Jurgen Klopp has "no problem" with Jose Mourinho tactics

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says that he has "no problem" with teams using overly-cautious tactics, seemingly defending opposite number Jose Mourinho.

Jurgen Klopp has insisted that it is all about winning at any cost when Liverpool take on Manchester United at Old Trafford this weekend.

The Red Devils have gained a reputation for playing cautiously against the sides around them in the table, including in the reverse fixture with Liverpool in October when holding out for a goalless draw.

Speaking on the eve of the latest showdown between the arch-rivals, however, Reds boss Klopp claimed that he expects Jose Mourinho to change his ploy on home soil, and does not believe that his opposite number should be criticised regardless of the tactics used.

"I've no problem with defending - I know how the situation is, that teams play a specific type of football, but it's all about winning and there are different ways to win football games," he told reporters at his pre-match press conference.

"In the last few years Manchester United have been more successful than us. We respect that, and this United team has a specific way of playing football. If we have to defend there, we have to do so with all we have. It's not a battle of systems or philosophies - just two very good teams facing each other.

"When they attack, I hope all my players are involved. If people want to say that's parking the bus, I'm okay with that. There are reasons they have two more points than us. We don't want to show how good we are, we just want a good result."

The last four meetings between Liverpool and United have finished all square, dating back close to two years.
