“It was a world-class performance in counter pressing”.

Coutinho’s brilliant goal was arguably the highlight for Liverpool, with the Brazilian continuing his excellent form, and Klopp said it was typical of the playmaker’s class.
Liverpool’s James Milner scores his team’s fifth goal of the game from the penalty spot during the English Premier League soccer match between Liverpool and Hull City at Anfield Stadium in Liverpool, England, Saturday, Sept, 24, 2016. The feeling is that, when given room, as they are bound to against teams who also attack them and go for a win, Liverpool find it easier, but when the space is closed out and an opponent sits back and invites pressure, Klopp’s team find it hard to get their goalscoring boots working. “We have to be angry against Hull because they want our points”, the 49-year-old ex-player said ahead of the game, per The Telegraph.
“I saw a lot of them when I was still in Germany, to be honest”, the former Borussia Dortmund boss added.
“I think we all can improve, and by all I mean the coaches, manager, and the crowd because it is all about expectations”. We are all involved in defending so that’s how it is. Next Hull City drew with Burnley 1: 1 and again lost to Arsenal 1: 4.
Phelan also confirmed that he is still waiting to hear whether or not he will offered the Hull job on a permanent basis.
The Reds have got off to a promising start this season, picking up wins over Premier League rivals Arsenal, Leicester and Chelsea as well as earning a hard-fought point against Tottenham.
“Saturday is another great challenge for us, but it’s a great opportunity for us as well”, Phelan said.
“We were really strong in possession today”.
Liverpool defender Mamadou Sakho has claimed that he is fit enough to play first-team football for the club and suggests that he is being denied the chance to build up his sharpness in the reserves. Liverpool are firing on all cylinders this season, and it has all the ingredients of a fantastic football match. There is a deal there, we just need an answer.
Liverpool vs Hull is scheduled for a 3pm BST (7.30pm IST, 10.30am ET) start.
