Klopp: We are responsible
“I felt pretty alone at this moment”. We are responsible that nobody can leave the stadium a minute before the last whistle because everything can happen.
“We showed character and maturity”, Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino said after seeing his team complete a third game in six days that yielded two wins and a draw.
“We have to learn that we decide how strong we are, we decide how good we are, we decide how awake we are, we decide how exhausted we are – nobody else”.
Liverpool were sluggish from the start the effect of a Thursday night UFEA Europa League game.
“This is not the first time I lose a game you don’t have to lose”, he added.
“We’ll both be intense, Sunday, to try and get our teams to win, but he’s had a great start and he’ll be looking to continue that”. It is always when you are under stress.
“Of course we can do more and if anyone thinks we can’t, they’re wrong”.
“We have to feel this, we have to keep this and then we will know why we don’t want this anymore”. That was the worse thing.
After getting the better of Chelsea last week, can Liverpool now go on to conquer Palace is yet to be seen. Finally the hosts were rewarded for their dominance with a lovely finish from Coutinho on the 41-minute mark to draw them back level at 1-1 and ensure the teams head into the break inseparable.
Liverpool’s defence were stretched after Alberto Moreno’s failed interception in midfield and as the ball came into the box, a fluffed clearance from Emre Can gifted a chance to Bolasie.
Liverpool carried that momentum into the second half with Benteke and Coutinho linking well just outside, and then inside, the Palace area before the former shot over.
Dann would prove the match-winner in the latter stages however, seeing a header saved by Simon Mignolet before reacting quickest to nod home the rebound as Palace leapfrogged their opponents to move into eighth place on the table. “You’re not going to win at Liverpool unless you defend well”.
“Look, I say what I think, please don’t make it bigger than it is”.
“Now I manage him and I understand how good he is, and he can be very proud of his performance and everything he did”. “He was superb in everything he did”.
