Milner gives Klopp first Anfield league win

Jurgen Klopp says that Liverpool left-back Alberto Moreno is one of several Liverpool players feeling the effects of their punishing schedule. “It is great they are back”, Milner added.

“If we keep working hard, keep improving, keep doing our job then hopefully we can be successful”.

The 23-year-old Brazilian has been absolutely on fire lately, scoring in each of his last three games – twice against Chelsea, once against Crystal Palace and once with an assist against Manchester City.

Barnes, who played 407 games for the club and was capped 79 times by England, also defended Klopp’s predecessor, Brendan Rodgers, who was ultimately replaced after coming under much criticism from the fans.

“We have to analyse our game and try to find out what we can use for Southampton and what we should change”.

And his task in getting Swansea out of their current rut does not get any easier with second-placed Leicester visiting the Liberty Stadium next Saturday followed by an away trip to leaders Manchester City on 12 December.

Liverpool have won six of the last seven matches, their only blemish a loss to Crystal Palace where the Reds outplayed their opponents and were unlucky to not even earn a point.

Liverpool can climb back into the upper echelons of the Premier League with Daniel Sturridge and Jordan Henderson back in the side.

Liverpool manager, Jürgen Klopp, has expressed satisfaction at his side’s 1-0 win over Swansea City on Sunday- his first home EPL game at Anfield. Parts of our game against Man City should always be in our game, but there is a big difference.

“When you look at the quality of the team, we’re a good side with a good manager and we have to challenge for an European place, but we still have to be patient about winning the league”.

With confidence high at Anfield and play-maker Philippe Coutinho likely to be fit for their midweek cup assignment after a hamstring problem, Ibe said Liverpool will travel to the south coast full of confidence. I don’t feel [momentum] because we play again on Wednesday, that’s my problem. We have to get results very quickly and we have to get points on the board very quickly.

Dunphy, seemingly unmoved by any other outfit in the top half of the table, believes the resurgent Reds are more than just dark horses in the title race and, providing they do some good business in the January, are better equipped for the second half of the campaign than their nearest rivals.
