Jurgen Klopp accuses Liverpool squad of failing to protect Neco Williams on his full Premier League debut

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp said he had no choice but to take Neco Williams off at half-time on his full Premier League debut against Brighton after accusing his side of failing to protect the 19-year-old.

Williams was a surprise starter at the Amex Stadium and the teenager impressed in the opening 45 minutes.

However, as is to be expected, the defender had a couple of questionable moments and he picked up a yellow card for a foul on Tariq Lamptey.

Williams made another foul shortly before half-time and was therefore walking a tight-rope if he was to make it through the second half. (Metro)
