Away games at Arsenal, Spurs, Chelsea and Burnley have seen the Reds take seven points from a possible 12, with only the defeat to Burnley spoiling a very good start to the term.
Two first-half goals from Dejan Lovren and Jordan Henderson were enough to sink the Blues at Stamford Bridge, despite mounting pressure from the home side after Diego Costa pegged one back in the second half. I got that feeling when I first met with Klopp.
He forgot to shake hands with Chelsea counterpart Antonio Conte as he did just that on Friday, and the former Borussia Dortmund coach will keep up the routine to show his players just how much he appreciates their efforts.
“I made three changes at the 80′ because I needed fresh players to change the game inertia: other times this worked, this time not”.
“We feel on a good way, but we have to prove it”.
We must feel the danger in every single moment of the game if we want to win and think like a great team.
“We are a team who wants to play, who wants to win – we are not a team who will defend deep and await our chances”.
The biggest criticism of Klopp and Liverpool last season was the inability to string a run of positive results together, so their win in London proves they are well on their way to correcting that fault.
“I don’t want to repeat a bad season like past year”, he said.
The Blues visit the King Power Stadium in the third round of the EFL Cup on Tuesday night before making the short trip to north London to take on the Gunners next Saturday in the league.
“We didn’t start well (against Liverpool)”.
Conte admitted that it was always going to be tough for his side to triumph over Liverpool when they found themselves trailing 2-0 in the first half. They pressurised us and we couldn’t cope with it.
And the Belgian stopper is keen to get back to winning ways, saying: “We know how Leicester plays, it’s very hard there as well”. From long distance it was a great goal but when you give away two goals in that way its very hard.

So often Chelsea score in the last few seconds but I don’t think they created much and we did well.
