Alan Stubbs insists Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has only himself to blame for his side’s failure to beat Everton, and questions whether the German ‘gets’ the Merseyside derby.

The Kop boss elected to leave Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino on the bench at Anfield on Sunday afternoon, and was furious after his team was denied victory by Wayne Rooney’s late penalty.

Klopp felt the referee blundered by awarding the spot-kick after Dominic Calvert-Lewin was bundled over by Dejan Lovren, but Stubbs thinks the former Borussia Dortmund needs to focus more on his own part in his team’s inability to claim all three points.
