Klopp admitted it was down to him to force a response ahead of Saturday's lunchtime visit to West Ham United but was left surprised by the lack of battling qualities from his team during the miserable reverse to Sean Dyche's Toffees.

"I do [feel responsible] it's difficult [to explain.] It's really strange but I hated our game," Klopp said.

"We were not even close to what we want to be, I never understood it like that where I just sit there and [think] 'well he does not want it, or he doesn't want it' because I know they want it.

The second half against Palace, they don't know how they got a point.

"That [performance] was very positive but we put ourselves under pressure by being 1-0 down and anyway we had to chase the game, it was not 1-0, then 2-0 and now let's go from there and stuff like this but it would be possible if we had made a few better decisions.

"And that is what I really see.

"And again the game was just horrible to watch.

And this [four-game] schedule now, finishing with tomorrow's game, is absolute madness, we all know that: Thursday, Sunday, Wednesday, Saturday is crazy.

"But we don't go for easy excuses.

And if we can can do much better at West Ham than that last game then immediately we should be good enough to play a better game, a better game can be a really good game, and then we can beat West Ham - but only then."
