And he’s anticipating another action-packed game after witnessing their 4-3 win over Arsenal at the Emirates on the opening weekend.

“When a player comes in with the caps he has for Belgium, he’s going to be a good player, so it’s a real coup for the club and a great asset for us”.
Caught Offside indicated that Klopp “wants additional options at center back following the departure of Martin Skrtel and with Mamadou Sakho’s future in doubt”. “We had two hours’ training today on it but it doesn’t mean you know what to do when you’re under pressure in a game”.
“I can not be interested in criticism of other people”.
Referring to the different stages that various members of his squad are at after the close season, including those who were involved in Euro 2016 to varying extents, Klopp said: “Emre Can came later in the pre-season but as everybody could see when he came on [at the Emirates] he is in a good way”.
“It is all about doing the right thing in the right moment and we feel quite confident we did it and now we have to prove it”.

“I like Danny, I talked to him and I told him last week in my opinion it is better he collects game time”, Klopp said. Liverpool did look a little sluggish in the first but then returned to produce an inspired performance, which totally blew away Arsenal. I love clean sheets. “It looks different but I love it!” I’ve never chosen a line-up where I’ve thought, ‘OK, maybe we can score five but with these guys we will concede four.’ I never did this.
“If we would have found the ideal fit, with all the things around – it’s not about money, only playing style, defending skills, offensive skills, technical things – if we could have found this then you would have known because we would have made the transfer”. We want to move the opposition. Sometimes players have to play with 60 or 70 per cent of fitness, but when you have options you need to use the time with the other players and bring them fitness-wise to the next level. But until we know “this is the pass”, we don’t have to take too much risk around the goal. Now though, we can bring you the first look of LFC manager Jurgen Klopp in-game in Federation Internationale de Football Association 17 celebrations. It’s another tough fixture for us but it’s a good challenge.
“It’s not about money, only about playing style, defending skills, offensive skills and technical skills”.
A second goal, against the run of play, after 36 minutes put Burnley firmly in control as Defour showed his quality, winning a loose ball and advancing to the edge of the Liverpool area before finding Gray.

“Buying calms the fans, of course, but we have to make sure… it is important to spend money but we have to spend it the right way”, the 66-year-old Frenchman added.
