Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has admitted he must shoulder some of the blame for Alberto Moreno's performance against Sevilla.
The Spain defender, substituted after 63 minutes, endured a torrid time on Tuesday as his former club mounted a spirited comeback from 3-0 down to draw 3-3 in the Champions League match.
Ahead of Liverpool's clash with Chelsea on Saturday, Klopp leapt to the left-back's defence, saying he could have made a change earlier in Andalusia.
Klopp said: "I had a talk with Alberto, He's not the player to blame. I am 100 per cent responsible.
"There are a lot of people over there he knows, saying 'hello'. His concentration maybe dropped one, two, three per cent.
