Liverpool star predicts that they will get even better in time under
When Klopp was revealed as a Liverpool manager, he had straight away said that it won’t be an overnight process and will take time to change. “That’s all. If you want you can write it in your job, it’s cool, but I don’t want to talk about it”, he said. “I think he’s adapted relatively quickly”.
They face Swansea on Sunday, with Klopp looking to win his first league game in charge at Anfield, and they could not be facing them at a better time with Garry Monk under real pressure at the Liberty Stadium.
Klopp’s successes at Anfield had further painted the unpopular Rodgers in a bad light, and further vindicated the owners’ decision to replace the Northern Irish coach with the former Borussia Dortmund manager. He knew that there was only limited time to get his methods across if this season was going to be salvaged.
The good news for City is that star striker Sergio Aguero has been passed fit to return to action after enduring a six week lay off with a niggling hamstring injury.
“Then we have to find a solution and we will have a solution but then we have to score goals in the right moments”.
Since their impressive 3-1 victory at Sevilla in the Champions League, City have had a goalless draw at Aston Villa and now this humiliation. Few weeks ago, Liverpool had lost to Crystal Palace in Klopp’s first loss as Liverpool manager.
“We tried to make changes and have some options to score”. “He sets up in different ways depending on who we play, and I think he wants us to be calm, that’s the other thing”. The points, and style of play, we can do better and that’s very important. You see his emotion on the touchline.
“You could see the work that had been done during the week”.
Like Skrtel, Mignolet said the Reds should try to approach each game with the same focus and energy they showed against Manchester City – starting with Thursday’s UEFA Europa League game against Bordeaux. If you look at the teams we have played away from home and the results we have got, it has been pretty solid, but obviously the home form we can improve. “If players are doing well and he’s got men on the bench who he feels he’s got to get in the team that’s what you need and what every top team has – competition”.
