Jurgen Klopp lamented Liverpools inability to close out victory against Southampton after they gave up a 2-0 lead to lose 3-2 at St Marys. Philippe Countinho and Daniel Sturridge scored in the first half as Liverpool looked to be cruising to a significant victory in their quest for European football next season.However, the visitors missed chances to add to their advantage and paid the price as Saints staged a superb second-half comeback to snatch victory. We played a brilliant first half, Klopp told Sky Sports. We could have scored the third, the fourth, the fifth, whatever…We didnt do it and then the game is still open.You have to finish the game in the first half or the start of second half. We have to accept it was Southamptons day, they played well in the second half and we didnt. We didnt get enough goals in the first half so its our fault.Liverpool went into the fixture on a good run of form having won four of their last six games in all competitions. Daniel Sturridge scored Liverpools second goal But Klopp thinks tiredness may have set in at St Marys, with the game coming just a few days after the Europa League last-16 clash with Manchester United.When you count all the games we have had and all the games Southampton have had, I think at the end of the season we have had 20 more or something like that, said the German. How could I blame my players that they are not in the same shape second half?Asked about Liverpools top-four chances, Klopp said: I dont know about top four. I would say all of you should start more fantasy with your questions because its always yes top four, or no top four. We are not closer that is clear, its not the best position.
