So, yeah, he is for sure the most consistent player we have this season. ![]() ![]() He kept a clean sheet for us, especially in that situation, there were a few others, but especially in that situation. He was really touched that we got a clean sheet tonight, it's that long ago. On whether Alisson Becker has been his most consistent player this season.Ībsolutely, I've said a couple of times. There we could have done better, but that's fine. Curtis to Mo and stuff like this, where everything is nearly perfect and then the last pass on the foot it is only an inch but in the end it's maybe half a metre. They were extremely involved and we had then a few sensational situations where the last pass didn't go through. That's important to us and all of them, when Cody and Diogo came on, they were really in the defensive work. As I said, Darwin like a race horse, really motivated, really on fire. I thought did for long spells really well. So, shall he start? Cody? How do we do it? That was the outcome - this line-up. I hope that's now better because he had a proper, proper bruise at the ribs, so it's really painful. We had a discussion with the coaches, who shall we rest? Is it Cody? Diogo couldn't train again and I think in the first situation when he was on the pitch tonight, again a knock on the back. It's tough for everybody, we played a lot of games. We should not forget, you can see with Luis after 30 minutes it's really tough for him. On being able to field Nunez, Salah and Luis Diaz together. I don't know exactly what was the result of that, but maybe a corner, which is good as well. One of the main things we had to do tonight was offer in behind, we had three really quick players there and I liked the situation pretty early in the game when Mo received the ball deep, chipped it in behind and Darwin can go there. We could sort that and apart from that he played a really good game, he was always a proper option for us and we needed that. We opened up and that's where we struggle slightly, where they could control it for moments. We were a bit too early out there from Darwin, we tried to fix that, but he wanted and he was like a race horse - go, go, go, go for everybody. You could see in the beginning, defending the centre against Fulham is really important because Palhinha is there and that is their connector, get on the ball. On whether he was pleased with Nunez's performance.Ībsolutely. It feels like ages, ages, ages ago that we did it - and probably it is. So, five wins in a row is super-difficult if it was easy, everybody would do it - we would have done it earlier. The last situation I think it was a sensational save and he was really happy about the clean sheet more than anybody. We then don't close the game early and we have to fight until the end - and we needed Ali, obviously. Mo finished it off, which is good as well. The penalty I liked a lot because it was a counter-pressing situation, Darwin is fully in the situation and gets the pen for that. ![]() They caused us a lot of problems, but we could have scored more often. This team is set up in a sensational way, really good. Before that game already they had injuries, so that's a really tough task. So, we were prepared for that, we knew they close the centre extremely well, but I couldn't respect more what Marco is doing there because they had to make five changes from the last game. Especially their last game against City, you could see City couldn't create chances like they usually do - it was counter-pressing, direction, wing-balls deep and counter-attacking themselves, or quick attacks. First half, controlling, creating, not finishing the situations off but we saw for analysis reasons a couple of games of them. Really pleased with big parts of the game. Read on below to see what the boss had to say. Klopp reflected on the battling victory, Salah's penalty and much more in his post-match press conference.
