 The basis we have created so far is brilliant - 23 points, Klopp said. I don't think I (have) had that before after nine games.
|
We don't want to use the post to defend to be honest, Klopp said. If it happens we take it but it's lucky and with the handball, another penalty.
|
It's the first period in my life that we win kind of average matches, said Klopp. That's true.
|
They are normal issues. Both are not too serious; they cannot play today, which is never good, but it shouldn't be that long, Klopp said before the match.
|
There is not a perfect plan for it. We have to make sure that he trusts his body. I can trust his body, said Klopp. I love him as a player and as a person.
|
Getting promoted there, I use the words of a friend, is a miracle, Klopp said.
|
He is a fantastic boy, our boy and an outstanding player, Klopp said.
|
|
It's a normal period of adaptation, said Klopp. You put the focus a bit more on something and immediately you lose a bit of the fluency in something else.
|
I had this situation so often I cannot believe, Ilkay Gundogan didn't play for half a year (at Borussia Dortmund)., Klopp said.
|
We're pretty sure that Naby will not be available, said Klopp. With all the rest, we have to see how it develops.
|
I like competition but at one point somebody has to step back and think, they are players, Klopp said.
|
You make a lot of my comments about the Nations League, Klopp said. And everyone has their opinion about it, but the things they say about it are exactly what I think -- it's too much in that competition: 'Proper games, real opponents, it is better than having any friendlies'.
|
This year it's a stronger side and stronger football. I speak to Dave [Wagner] most weekends and I think the club is brilliant, Klopp said.
|
He is a fantastic boy, our boy and a outstanding player, Klopp said.
|
We had yesterday's session and a few of the boys trained, we'll have to see how they react, said Klopp. The only thing we are pretty sure is that Naby [Keita] will not be available with all the rest, we have to see how it develops, that's it pretty much.
|
You saw when he went off [against Southampton] that he would not leave pitch without major problems, Klopp said.
|
I watch them more because I want to see how David is doing, Klopp told Liverpoolfc.
|
People asked why this game (against City) was less intense, said Klopp. Guys like Jordan (Henderson) only had two weeks after the World Cup.
