‘I’ve never seen Philippe Coutinho work so hard and Adam Lallana is like a different player.

Klopp was appointed as Liverpool head coach after the Merseyside outfit sacked Brendan Rodgers following the Merseyside derby in October. I don’t think that way.
Leicester City are now occupying one of the top four spots, but they aren’t expected to keep up with the rest for the entire season, and when they drop off, Klopp’s men are expected to pounce.
Raheem Sterling, the £49M signing who left Liverpool leaving a bad taste in the mouth, was anonymous – a performance that will not have been unfamiliar to Liverpool fans who witnessed the final period of his Anfield career. “I’m really satisfied with everyone’s performance”, added the centre-back, who replaced the injured Mamadou Sakho for Saturday’s game. Now we are in a better way than two weeks ago and we have to go ahead.
Sterling was actually one of the team’s better players in the match, while the defensive midfield got run over by hungrier, more industrious players. “We played with big passion and that’s the most important thing for us”. Today we made the first three, I think, had more then, and didn’t take all of them.
Liverpool have lost just once since Klopp was appointed in early October and sit ninth in the Premier League.
Pellegrini has insisted the Citizens quickly forget about the game and turn their attention to Wednesday’s Champions League tie away at Juventus.
“He will tell you if you are not doing the right things, and that helps”.
“But we’ve shown we can beat anyone in beating Chelsea and Man City away from home and we’ve had a number of other good results away from home too”.
“The front three of Coutinho, Firmino and Adam Lallana were scintillating and they played very narrow”.

Milner is confident that the team is responding well to the demands, although they still have some way to go before putting significant pressure on their rivals at the top of the Premier League table. “But having said that, when he came on at the weekend, he did seem more mobile and Klopp did say something about him being quicker on his legs”.
