Klopp hung up on Crystal Palace defeat

“But it’s okay. I think we have done not too bad until now”.

Several Premier League teams no longer take that competition or the Capital One Cup seriously, but Koeman is determined to achieve success in such competition be cause he believes Saints’ opportunities are limited elsewhere. That is one of the meetings we had with the team at the start of the season – about improving, being better than previous year.

Jurgen Klopp has admitted Liverpool’s home defeat to Crystal Palace last month is stopping him from getting carried away about his promising start to life at Anfield.

A trophy in his first season would cement Klopp’s already god like status among the fans, a status hard earned with fantastic wins away at Chelsea and then Manchester City.

Liverpool are likely to be linked with a move for Borussia Dortmund’s star players after the Bundesliga club said they would be open to speaking with former manager Jurgen Klopp about potential transfer targets, The Independent reports.

When asked about Sturridge’s reaction to his comments, Klopp responded sternly: “Absolutely nothing – and this is for the present and the future – nothing that my players tell me will ever be part of this [media briefing]”. With information, if I would say every day all the things I know, it is for sure too much.

“I know that the most important time in a season is the pre-season”, he responded. It’s all tactical. It’s what he likes and what we work.

“We don’t want them going on to the pitch with their papers thinking, ‘What is point three?’ We are just looking for the next step”.

Midfielder Adam Lallana has credited manager Juergen Klopp’s charisma for Liverpool’s rise up to sixth place in the Premier League table and an improvement in his own performances.

“The individual qualities of these players in big teams will punish you for that”.
