Although his point was more to do with the performances, Redknapp has been left impressed with the lift that Klopp has given Liverpool as a whole.
The odds for Manchester City, Everton and Stoke all to win against Sky Bet Championship opposition in the Capital One Cup were enhanced by Sky Bet in the latest of the online bookmaker’s special offers.
Koeman recently said of his captain that “he still has the cut above his knee, stitches and [Southampton] are hopeful he can play on Saturday, but Liverpool is too early”.
A fully-fit Sturridge could yet possess the potential to make the crucial difference in reaching the Premier League’s top four, even at a club where Origi, Christian Benteke, Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino are among the alternative attacking options.
“The only thing about this is that you ask me questions like this. It was sloppy – they started the game well but I think we started on the back foot”, he told Liverpoolfc.com. “We know we can get better, and we know there is still a long way to go”.
Klopp said – “I am absolutely satisfied with the goalkeeping situation”.
If they do not start, expect at least two of the aforementioned three to come on after half-time.
“We dominated games, particularly against Swansea, where we only got one goal and then against Palace where we had plenty of possession but didn’t create chances”.
The winger cut in from the right flank and found his teammate in space, with Origi blasting past Stekelenburg to put the game beyond doubt with just over 20 minutes to play.
“I’ve had a few semi finals in my life, and I have never had an easy one”.
Despite being at the club for a little under two months, the squad has adapted quickly to Klopp’s methods and the manager believes the key to that success has been to gradually introduce new ideas.

“Stoke will want this final for sure, as much as they can”. “I said to him after the game: ‘Now I know what everybody’s talking about,”‘ Klopp said. We sat together, and it is not too often that you agree on everything with a player!’ The German explained.
