Jurgen Klopp sends Everton warning after early Liverpool problem at Wolves
Jurgen Klopp gives verdict on 3-1 win for Liverpool at Wolves and comments on next 12.30pm kick off which is against Everton
Jurgen Klopp believes his new-look Liverpool team are still trying to find stability after their 3-1 win against Wolves on Saturday.
The victory took the Reds temporarily top of the Premier League table with 13 points from an available 15 and extended an unbeaten run that now dates back to April in the top flight, which is 16 matches in total.
After a frustrating first half for Klopp where his team trailed to an early Hwang Hee-chan opener, the Reds responded through Cody Gakpo, Andy Robertson and an own goal from Hugo Bueno via Harvey Elliott’s initial effort.
Klopp said he has been pleased with resilience shown from his team already in a season that has seen them etch out nine points from losing positions against Bournemouth, Newcastle and now Wolves.
“Usually you learn things like this about your team later in the season,” Klopp said. “So you learn obviously pretty quickly and early. Yes, we are not stable yet, we are not. But then I think with all the changes we made now and again for this game, how can we be stable? I don’t ask for that.
“I ask for everything to make the next steps and stuff like this and in the first half that is not the case. But in the second half it is even more so and that is super helpful. Turning games around is helpful, whenever it happens in the season.
“So we should not have to be in the situation that much is what we want – but [yesterday] it is absolutely all right. You have to play as good as you can and it looked, for me, that we just couldn’t play better in the first half, for some reason.
“And then in the second half then I experienced it now a couple of times when players come back, sometimes in the first half they need to shake the legs off – I hope it doesn’t happen all the time – but we have to work on that so it doesn’t happen again because after the next international break we play Everton then, but the reaction was top class.”
