Jurgen Klopp emphasised the need for Liverpool to focus on results and ignore any pressure to provide a spectacle, insisting that his side "are not the Harlem Globetrotters".
The Reds were involved in another entertaining encounter on Saturday as they overcame Leicester City 3-2 in the Premier League.
Philippe Coutinho set up Mohamed Salah for the opener and scored a fine free-kick, while Jordan Henderson was also on target, but the hosts could have snatched a point had Jamie Vardy not seen his late penalty saved by Simon Mignolet.
The result ended a four-match winless streak for Klopp's side and the German spoke afterwards about the supposed pressure that had been building on the back of that run.
