Klopp has a 'big problem' at Liverpool

Liverpool dominated the Carabao Cup tie with more possession and more shots on target than their opponents, but were knocked out the competition after goals from Shinji Okazaki and Islam Slimani secured Leicester's place in the last 16. 

Speaking on 'Sky Sports News', McInally said: "Liverpool have a problem putting the ball in the back of the net.

"Complete and utter dominance they had in the first half but they can't put teams away. It's a big problem for him (Klopp).

"I said at the time, he must be utterly deflated, Jurgen Klopp. Your team can look so good but go in at half-time 0-0.

"And when he substituted Philippe Coutinho at half-time, Liverpool didn't look anywhere near as threatening.

"He had an opportunity with the transfer window to strengthen the football team."

However, McInally maintains there is still a positive to take from Tuesday's defeat at Leicester, as Klopp's side have not won since beating Arsenal 4-0 in August.

"Danny Ings was on the bench last night and he came on in the second half," said McInally. "Once Ings gets his fitness, he might make a difference and they are definitely missing (suspended) Sadio Mane - that's massive."

He added: "And I don't think they are ruthless enough in the final third. They have to be as ruthless as Man City and Man Utd in scoring goals.

"The amount of chances they had and the possession they had, when they go in at half-time, they probably thought 'we'll still win this'."
