Jurgen Klopp: Great start except for that ‘f**king loss’ to Crystal Palace

Speaking about Mignolet he said “I am absolutely satisfied with our goalkeeping situation”.

‘I like his style, being aggressive because it fits with my style. “I don’t usually sit in my office and think ‘ah, too many games”.

“This is definitely a great chance to win a trophy”. It’s highs and lows.

“It was just the passion of his words that got to us. Beating some of the best teams definitely gives us the confidence that we can go all the way”.

The primary issue that now needs to be addressed is the worrying form at Anfield, which is the next phase of the operation Klopp has started in such promising fashion.

Moreno has started in nine of Klopp’s 10 games so far, which is some contrast to his fortunes under former boss Rodgers.

When asked what Sturridge had said to Klopp following those comments the manager said: “I can’t tell you anything about when I speak to the players and what they tell me”.

“In England there are many matches, so there is not enough time to work a lot but in each training sessions he is looking for that”, said Moreno. You can’t imagine him sitting in his office preparing a team talk. He always shouts out tactics and is always encouraging players to run faster and put more effort into the game.

“I suppose he’s given me that extra confidence to get forward and to develop as a player”. Maybe I wasn’t as confident as I should have been. I love it, pressing, steal the ball and go quick on the counter-attack with 11 guys running.

If you have 20 injuries you can not treat it like the first. And when you saw the classy performances of Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino at the Etihad Stadium, Sturridge’s absence was quickly forgotten.

Clyne doesn’t know what kind of reception will greet him at St Mary’s.

The 27-year-old is set to see his £60,000-a-week wage increased if an agreement is made.

And the amusing thing is, that this type of thing has happened to Liverpool before.

“I was part of a good team at Southampton”.

Yet what we can say is that the depressing gloom that was hovering over the club before Klopp arrived has been lifted and in a season when nothing seems to be predictable, Liverpool are right in the mix to finish in a lofty position.
