PREMIER - Liverpool boss Klopp on Carabao win against Norwich

Commenting upon Liverpool last night victory over Norwich Cirty, and upon Reds ongoing situation, boss Jurgen Klopp stated:

"No, but for good reasons. It was not possible to be a perfect day today because we had to make too many changes to have natural solutions for the problems we would have in the game. They were clear. We started really well and I liked that - really aggressive, really lively, but then you could see we didn’t train because we had to make a lot of decisions really late. The last line and the goalie saved us in these moments with speed, good challenges and stuff like that, so there was not really something in it for Norwich. We scored a goal, a really good goal again after a set-piece, a massive ball, massive. Half-time we had to change and Naby had kicked the grass, a little… sort of thing, we are not too concerned but we had to change. Then, we had Curtis in the half-space and Tyler in the six and it looked much [more] natural immediately so then the boys passed quicker, passed smarter and we changed Oxlade, a little bit higher on the pitch on the left wing, and Taki, who is obviously in really good shape, more in the centre and half-spaces so Ox could use his speed and Taki connected the game together with Tyler and Curtis. So, it was all good, we scored the second and third goals and controlled the game, which was absolutely brilliant. The kids did exceptionally well, I have to say. All three, physically really strong and that’s maybe the biggest surprise, that they could go 92 minutes. I am really happy for them, it was a big moment for the boys.

It is just a logical thing. He is in a really good moment; I know he didn’t play too much, but in the wrong moment he was injured, coming back and stuff like this. It is sometimes not so easy, but he is a top character and he enjoyed the game tonight. That was important for him and important for us, so that will help him and will help us.

I was never in doubt about our attacking depth. We said [it] before. Bobby trained yesterday, the first time, parts with the team, so it is not too far away when he will play again. We have already two midfielders out and we should make sure that number doesn’t get bigger. The start of the season so far was good for the whole squad, but it’s only the start and there is a lot more to come".
