Klopp gives his verdict on Liverpool’s 5-1 win

Sky Sports have confirmed that Klopp, who watched his Liverpool side breeze past Hull City at Anfield on Saturday afternoon, will join Jamie Carragher for the first hour of the show to offer his tactical analysis and insight.

Hull City caretaker manager Mike Phelan agreed with the decision to send Ahmed Elmohamady off for deliberate handball in Saturday’s 5-1 defeat at Liverpool.

“I don’t expect a timescale, it is just a case of sitting down again when we possibly can and getting this done and dusted”.

More importantly, it will be a great chance for fans to understand how Klopp views the game and to gain insight into how he’s got Liverpool playing high-octane, intense, attacking football.

Since 2012, Arsenal have more red cards than goals against Chelsea while the two sides are in the bottom half of the fair play league. “In the first few minutes you could really see how strong Hull could be in counter-attacks – really good, really strong and hard to defend”.

The Reds will be hoping to make it five in five when they travel to Wales to take on Swansea next weekend.

They have already faced three of the Big Six and champions Leicester, though their worst display and result to date came in the supposed easiest fixture at Burnley, so underestimating Hull isn’t an option.

“That is really pleasing”.

“But still I was not happy because we could have done much better”.

The Black Cats appeared set for their first win of the Premier League season after a double from Jermain Defoe.

His role has changed significantly this season as he has been asked to fill in at left-back because of the erratic performances of Alberto Moreno but, ever the professional, the 30-year-old has adapted particularly well. He does it because he wants which is important for us.

“That was a really good performance”.

I’m a major critic of Lallana, but only because he has consistently failed to deliver the goods over the last two seasons.

Lallana stood out as one of the key performers in the win and Klopp hailed his talent and skills after the match.
