Daniel Sturridge: Substitute appearance against Swansea

Klopp have done a fantastic job in reshaping the team and instilling the winning mentality along with high energy play and slick one two movement that won him so many titles in Borrusia Dortmund. Liverpool have taken 11 points out of a possible 18 in the Premier League. It was good for us.

Eight-time winners Liverpool are looking to reach the semi-final stage for the third time in five seasons.

Daniel Sturridge came on as a substitute in the last match but it may finally be time for him get match fit by playing a decent amount of minutes. They helped us keep the result, which was not easy – especially for Jordan in his position.

Southampton conceded three during the clash and the news of Fonte’s injury comes as a further blow to Koeman as they look to bring some silverware back to the South Coast.

The recent win over Swansea is a great example of where Liverpool is at the moment.

The Saints captain was forced off during the first half of Saturday 3-1 defeat at Manchester City with a cut knee problem. Parts of our game against Man City should always be in our game, but there is a big difference. He’s made them a much better side in a very short amount of time and deserves a ton of credit for that. Luckily for Jurgen Klopp and his team, that appears to be the target date for the Brazilian star’s return.

“I am very happy for Jurgen that things are running that well after such a short space of time”, Watzke said.

“You look at the quality of the whole bench, look at the players we have injured, and as I said before you are going to need that with the amount of games we have coming up”. Wind is the biggest enemy of football but we did okay.

Last week was an important one for Liverpool, seeing off Manchester City and Swansea in the league, and securing qualification to the knock-out rounds of the Europa League.

Klopp’s side moved into the Premier League’s top six with a nervy 1-0 victory over the Swans at Anfield.

“We don’t give opponents too many chances”. We are on the road next week so it’s really hard. It was good for us.

“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”. We asked, “Where is the pain?’, he said, ‘Everywhere”.

“Monday we will be back in the race and preparing for Southampton”.
