Can Klopp’s Liverpool Win The Double?

“The two games against [Manchester] City and Chelsea are not to be compared, and because of the opponent and the way they play we can not always play like this. I think he is ready”.

Jurgen Klopp’s arrival at Liverpool has been blighted by players going down with injury: Danny Ings and Joe Gomez are both out with knee injuries, while Sturridge and Henderson made their first appearance under the new manager on Sunday. I would like to have a break to enjoy the win, but we don’t have that, we have to fly to Southampton, we have to analyse them.

“It’s my responsibility to get results”, he said.

Asked if the much-improved display stood against suggestions players were not playing for the manager, Monk said: “That was clear – and it’s been clear all through this period”.

“I am gutted for my players as they were excellent”, said Monk.

“With good players coming back in, also (Philippe) Coutinho as well, hopefully we will climb even higher”. We didn’t look like a team in trouble.

“Of course results are the be-all and end-all, we have to get points on the board but if you perform like that with those principles and work ethic you have confidence results will begin to pick up real soon”.

Club captain Henderson came off the bench to feature for the first time since mid-August following an ankle problem, while Sturridge – dogged by injury complaints over the past year – returned to boost Klopp’s options.

It was the second straight Premier League disappointment for the Gunners after a loss to West Bromwich Albion last weekend, and they missed the chance to move level on points with Premier League leaders Manchester City and Leicester.

Here are the five things we learned: 1.

“It can be a hard decision to make in front of the Kop with everyone appealing but I cannot complain about the performance”.

“He will know three or four players in Germany who are on his wish list, and I think Liverpool are big enough to go and get any player in Germany apart from the ones at Bayern Munich”.

Milner converted from the spot on 62 minutes after Neil Taylor handled Jordan Ibe’s cross into the area, giving the Reds their first league victory at Anfield since September 26. “To lose a game that was out of our hands is extremely disappointing”.

Most of the leading performers responsible for Swansea’s impressive start to the season including Jefferson Montero and Bafetimbi Gomis are clearly struggling to regain their hot form.
