Liverpool keen for Capital One Cup win against Southampton

“I’m not afraid. I prepare my team always about what we can do and how we beat the press and then we have good opportunities to create chances”.

It’s hard to believe how quickly things have turned around since Klopp replaced Brendan Rodgers at the start of October, with the players who looked unmotivated not so long ago springing back into life under their new leader. Do so and they will be second favourites to win the competition behind Manchester City.

After only having spent eight weeks with Liverpool, the squad are adapting well to their new manager’s style, though Klopp conceded that he did not want to overburden them with too many alterations to the club’s philosophy.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has been given the green light should he wish to sign any of his former players after Borussia Dortmund confirmed there would be no conflict if the German coach came calling in the transfer window.

“When I came to the club, I knew already that we would lose some good players, and we lost, after last season, Schneiderlin and Clyne, important players for the team”, the manager was quoted as saying by the British media.

Kyle Naughton says Swansea are capable of getting a result against Leicester if they can reproduce the performance at Liverpool.

“Mario isn’t like people paint him out to be”, Lopez said. Probably not, but the fact that we are even entertaining a debate on this subject highlights how far Klopp has taken the club in his brief tenure at the helm. Jordan Henderson was injured but he travelled with us and said he would have loved to be playing in that game as much as any other.

“In that quality we have to improve and we have to play our level, and if not they are very risky”.

As of writing, Liverpool have just crushed Southampton in a 6-1 beatdown to claim a spot in the Capital One Cup semifinals.

“I think we are giving the players as much information as we can”. You shouldn’t go into it if you don’t expect to win.

After three 1-1 draws in the opening matches of the Europa League, Liverpool defeated Rubin Kazan with 1-0 in Klopp’s first win in Europe as a Liverpool manager.
