“I said to him after the game, “Now I know what everybody is talking about, ‘” said Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp of his striker”. Thereafter, Liverpool took full control of the game.

Divock Origi had not scored in any of his first ten matches for Liverpool, but bagged a hat-trick tonight as The Reds mercilessly scythed apart Southampton in rampant fashion. If somebody can tell me he’s available for the next game, then he plays, no problem.
Southampton must pick themselves up from a humiliating 6-1 League Cup quarter-final defeat to Liverpool and get their Premier League campaign back on track against Aston Villa, midfielder Steven Davis said.
Coutinho has been sidelined since limping out of the 4-1 win at Manchester City a fortnight ago with a hamstring complaint.
But Liverpool have both the belief – and the tools – to put two or three past their opponents.
Daniel Sturridge showed what he gives to the team when fit and if he can feature in the majority of games this season then he could be the difference of Liverpool having a successful season.
“With the new manager we don’t want to have unrealistic expectations”. I dont know about the history of Newcastle, but I know Steve McLaren, and his quality and his experience.
“I still think only Aguero is better [as a striker] in the Premier League”, added Redknapp.
The goals took Sturridge’s tally for the season to four from five games, yet more incredibly took him past Wayne Rooney’s number of domestic goals.
I have never had a problem with too much confidence! “It was the plan before the game that 55 or 60 minutes would be good for him and for us”.
“At the moment, we don’t have to be any more than that”. And as you can see, we have absolutely no problem with matches against Manchester City.
“Sometimes it happens like this and there’s nothing to criticise about it”, Klopp said as the manager gave his latest Liverpool injury update at his pre-match media conference.
Emre, like every young player with big talent, they have to learn.

Graziano Pelle slid Mane in behind the Liverpool defence to present Southampton their first opportunity of the second half, but Dejan Lovren recovered well to block, before substitute Shane Long nodded wide from Tadic’s chipped cross shortly after. Very complete, defensively strong, good movements.
