Can Jurgen Klopp Really Change Liverpool’s Fortune?

Popular pundit Jamie Carragher lavished praise on Liverpool’s front three against Manchester City and highlighted how things are only going to get better under Jurgen Klopp, Sky Sports report.

Reports on the final day of the summer transfer window linked Lucas with a move to Besiktas after he failed to feature in the first two Premier League games of the campaign, against Stoke City and Bournemouth. That’s the next challenge.

“They have got big games coming up as well, so I am sure they will bounce back, and likewise we can keep riding the wave”.

“Then we have to find a solution and we will have a solution but then we have to score goals in the right moments”.

That defeat came in Liverpool’s last home match. “It feels flawless”, exclaimed the German before quickly correcting himself. There have been three draws, though, and no league victories at Anfield. Too quick and too slick for City to contain.

Philippe Coutinho will undergo further tests on his hamstring as Liverpool fear the injury may be worse than first thought, according to the Mirror. The club will decide on today if he requires a scan. He doesn’t seem a natural fit for the way Klopp wants to play. It’s your own mind. The points, and style of play, we can do better and that’s very important. He went off at half-time and they ran all over him.

Sergio Aguero’s sweetly curled 25-yard strike had pulled the contest back to 3-1 just before the break.

Liverpool are eight points behind surprise league leaders Leicester City, but European qualification appears a more likely goal.

The movement was excellent, the energy and pressing were evident, but what is arguably most exciting for Liverpool supporters is the form being shown so early into Klopp’s tenure. We have to work, that ” s all”, he said. “We can’t change our targets just because we have won”.

Pellegrini accepts that makes for a “difficult situation” but is still determined to put in a strong performance. But we played very well [against City].

“It’s only hard work”. If somebody thinks after a game like this we can go to the top of the table, it’s really not my problem. I don’t think that way.

City tackle Italian giants Juventus in the Champions League on Wednesday prior to the weekend’s visit of Southampton. But they had to change something.

“Only two weeks ago we lost to [Crystal] Palace”.

“I don’t want players to speak about our training and what we do, because it’s our training”, Klopp said.

Pellegrini was left baffled by his side.

Liverpool might however have to battle Chelsea and Manchester City for the signature of the 22-year-old who scored a huge 27 goals in all competitions last season and also finished as joint-top scorer in Serie A alongside Verona’s Luca Toni.

“We know what he achieved with Dortmund before”.
