SportsNation.bet had been taking bets on what his next excuse would be, with the referee priced at 3/1 while fixture congestion was 6/1 and grass length was 11/2.You could have been quids in if you had a flutter on the wind, though, as this was 9/2 to be his next excuse. Klopp suggested the weather was partly to blame for his sidedrawing with neighbours Evertonat Goodison Park.The Reds are now second in the Premier League a point behind Manchester City after failing to get the three points in a game where they missed a number of big chances.
