Jurgen Klopp unhappy with Liverpool’s Christmas fixture schedule

“He’s a really good player and he loves what he is doing”. But the manager is the one who takes responsibility for results.

Klopp also gave an update on his Brazilian duo Roberto Firmino and Philippe Coutinho and says that they are still feeling the effects of their long-haul trip to South America during the worldwide break.

Former United striker Yorke explained why he considers Klopp’s impressive Liverpool side to be strong contenders for this season’s Premier League title.

The home “atmosphere” helped last season, when Liverpool overwhelmed Van Gaal’s United in a 2-0 win at Anfield in the Europa League’s round of 16.

Here are THREE areas he needs to improve in January…

The problem he faced a year ago, though, was a team that wasn’t quite equipped for the rigorous style of play. “When everyone’s fit and firing, I don’t think he quite gets in the eleven”.

Klopp acknowledged that the extra days Coutinho and Firmino will have to train with their teammates will have “a big impact” but said that “a lot of things can happen” still with several training sessions left. “I learn more and more about this league and maybe I have to ask someone if we can ask if there will be another time for us at Sunderland”, the German added.

“The more you play for in these games and the more interest there is, the more hard they are but the more excited people are”.

Liverpool duo Georginio Wijnaldum and Adam Lallana are facing a battle to be available for Monday night’s game against Manchester United.

I said straightaway that I want to come. “Hopefully I’ll be back in for the qualifiers in November”.

Klopp has deployed Firmino in a more central role this season and is reaping the benefits, scoring three goals in six Premier League matches.

Liverpool have a defined style of play, the high-energy counterpressing game long favored by Klopp and carried over from his time in Germany. And with [Jose] Mourinho coming to Anfield I’m sure the build-up will be big.

“Over the next 10 years, I don’t know – it probably should be Pogba considering how much money they spent”.

“The new stand is magnificent”.

Despite only sampling the game from the sidelines twice, Klopp is well aware of the special nature of the clash.

Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp has heaped praise on his forward, Roberto Firmino, claiming that he is a top player who has the right mix of attitude to succeed at the top level.
