“It is belief but also hard work”.

Winning the Europa League should be a genuine aim for Liverpool this season, and confirming their passage from the group stages with a victory at Anfield on Thursday would be a big boost with a game to spare. And that’s what we’ve been working on… “You pick a player, put him on the pitch and say, “Come on, show your best performanc.e” But if we need, we will do [transfers]”.
“With the intensity of so many tournaments, sometimes you pay a price”, added Klopp.
But what three things have we learnt about Liverpool after 13 games?
“We know what to do tomorrow”.
It remains to be seen how Klopp will set out his side when both players are fully fit, but Nevin is confident that Sturridge will be the club’s first-choice centre-forward.
“I love this game because you can win against better teams, if you work better together than the other team”, he explained. Of course, it’s about creating moments.
Jürgen Klopp has said he is close to deploying Daniel Sturridge for the first time in his Liverpool reign but has no dilemma over accommodating the strikers at his disposal.
“So it helps us and it helps him, and we have another option [as striker]”. When I came here he was injured, but now he has had many, many [training] sessions with the team and the Belgian national team.
“I am sure, if or when they do, they are capable of competing for those top four places as well”.
“I’m not on a time limit yet, but I hope it’s pretty soon because I’m sick of sitting in the stand and watching!” Fans and pundits anxious about their Anfield showings might do well to wait to see what they can follow up the City demolition with. He didn’t go as far as to say who is on the shopping list, but I think we can rule Manuel Neuer out of the running.
“There are many things we can do better”. It’s very important that he can train without problems.

Klopp said: “We are in a good position at this moment but in football you solve one problem and the next second you have another one”.
