Liverpool: Injury boost for Klopp
We need common experience that we can talk about, work with and other things.
“There are always areas we can improve. A good moment, for a few minutes or more, we’ll see”. But when you come to Chelsea and City and win that should fill you with a lot of confidence. We’ve also missed Henderson’s leadership qualities. It wasn’t because of the weather and it wasn’t a problem with Brendan Rodgers because he is a brilliant manager.
England striker Daniel Sturridge is in contention to make a first appearance under manager Juergen Klopp in Liverpool’s Europa League game at home to Girondins Bordeaux on Thursday.
Asked by reporters if he had been ready to take on Jurgen Klopp’s side, Sagna said: “Mentally I was”. We have to learn to win, to be in the lead.
Crooks named the Reds centre-back in his Premier League Team of the Week alongside teammate Philippe Coutinho, who both shone at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday evening.
The period immediately before half-time was the only time Liverpool looked vulnerable as Aguero curled home from 25 yards to mark his return from a seven-game lay-off due to a hamstring injury with a goal.
“I don’t want to blame the team”, he said. It made me sick, to be honest that he’s been out that long and could do that straight away. “But I tell you what, the way Liverpool press, you’re going to have to play really well to get through them”. Was it the average age of City’s starting 11 playing a role, especially across the back four and midfield where they looked clearly ragged? Enough of the attitude that you can have it all the way you want it – the Premier League is changing before our very eyes. “Each game, he’s getting better and better”.
The crushing reverse saw City drop from the Premier League summit down to third but Milner believes the loss will motivate the team to pick up their form. But I wasn’t. I exhausted quite quickly and didn’t have as much power as I [am] used to.
Milner was delighted to beat his old club, who he left on a free transfer to head to Anfield despite being offered a new contract.
I suppose we’ll just have to wait for more information to come out but I’m sure Liverpool fans around the world are praying Coutinho’s injury is nothing serious. The Blues were beaten by their own nerves and Liverpool’s high-pressing style of the front two in Coutinho and Firmino culminated in an own goal off Elaquim Mangala which set the tone for what would happen for most of the rest of the game.
