Jurgen Klopp on Philippe Coutinho
“So yes of course we can play against City; of course we can beat them”.
‘I wasn’t happy with the performance of 11 players, not only Yaya and Navas.
And Pellegrini was at a loss when quizzed on his team’s performance after the game.
“We tried to close the spaces, we pressed high and the crowd became nervous, that was the first step.”
“When you play so badly in all areas of the pitch it is impossible to expect anything from the game”.
“They are a work in progress in terms of how he wants them to play, but they look keen so it’s all about how we play at our stadium”.
“We couldn’t attack very well, we missed chances”.
Liverpool duo Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino exposed a few shoddy Manchester City defending to record a thrilling away victory.
“I hope [he] is well enough”, the German manager told reporters in his post-match press call.
Since hiring Jurgen Klopp after sacking Brendan Rodgers earlier in the 2015 Premier League season, Liverpool FC is looking for more wins and a better future.
“He showed not a real [injury], it was a little bit of cramp, he felt something”, Klopp said.
City may be the Premier League leaders but Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is not interested in who is the best in the league – unless it is his own side. Very important for the table – we’re on 20 points now. I know Roberto has quality. It was good, really good. On Saturday, he witnessed the sight of thousands of City fans heading for the exits.
“The good news is that we can do better”.
Fortunately, Klopp has a rejuvenated squad to call from, with Daniel Sturridge, Jordon Ibe, James Milner and Kolo Toure all returning from injury and available for selection ahead of the short trip to Manchester.
He added: “It’s always odd coming back to a club, I was here for five years and have lots of friends here”. Make sure to check out our free online live stream links below so you can tune in and watch the exciting Barclays Premier League match, complete with a preview of today’s game!
