“We had our situations against a very good defending team, almost only defending so that makes it harder for us”, said Klopp, who spoke to the players at halftime about the need to press more. “We could have scored more goals, but we will take the three points and the clean sheet”.
Klopp said: “I’m not too much interested in that, to be honest, because it’s better you decide a game early”. “You have to work for the special moment and that’s what we did”.

“Hopefully we can push on and get another win Saturday [against West Ham]”.
“But we were watching Jurgen Klopp in the first half, and he was so frustrated with Benteke’s runs, his movement, the positions he was taking up”.
“We deserved it, we played well and got the goal”.
“Of course. This is a foul, “Klopp explained”.
“After half-time we forced this goal and could have scored the second one and the decision would have been made, but we didn’t”, said Klopp. “I am not too sorry”, Klopp said.
“We need them in times like this when you are losing games and we can bounce off that”.
