“That’s pretty cool. Hopefully I can come with them”.

After the game Klopp joked about struggling to find his specs, quipping “it’s really hard looking for glasses without glasses”… We should be fully focused on this game. And Nuri Sahin broke my glasses â- and today it’s Adam.
The defending Klopp witnessed before substitute Lallana’s dramatic late intervention was less amusing. “It’s different and we don’t need to think about that”. If you win 5-4 it’s a amusing story, but it’s not that amusing. Now we have to solve this problem. Things like this can happen. “Go and do what you can and if they get another two, then that is it, but try everything anyway'”.
“First of all, of course we know about this problem”.
“The first [Norwich] goal, with the heel, you have to be offside if you stay there”. It’s unbelievable. It’s not possible. Norwich weren’t very happy obviously but I think that’s what he’s like, that’s the passion that he shows, I think he wants everyone to be together.
Brazilian Roberto Firmino has proved he is a real striker who can score goals regularly for Liverpool, according to manager Juergen Klopp. Wes Hoolahan would calmly bury the penalty kick down the centre of the goal.
There was yet more drama though with Sebastien Bassong pulling Norwich level in the second minute of stoppage time, before a goalmouth scramble saw Lallana volley the victor.
Klopp says strikers come in different shapes and sizes and that Firmino justified his selection ahead of Christian Benteke. A draw would have been deserved for both teams.
Norwich boss Alex Neil rued the way the match turned and his side shot themselves in the foot.
“Everybody is talking about it, we are thinking about it and you see it in situations”.
“I am concerned when we concede that amount of goals”.
The former BVB manager could be set to bring instant success to the club, with only two results needed to bring the Capitol One Cup back to Anfield, and a possible all-Merseyside derby at Wembley could play into Klopp’s fiery character.
“We were really angry with ourselves at half-time”, Klopp said.

“We managed to score four goals at home, which should mean we’re going home with three points”. “We have always to make decisions”. The goal of Mbokani there was still a full box so we could have pushed up a little bit earlier and whoever was left would have been offside so that would be a clever idea.
