Jurgen Klopp revealed he had “never” experienced a match like the win over Newcastle as he discussed the prospect of his match-winner earning himself greater involvement
Here are four key points from the manager as he dissected an enormous three points on the road at Newcastle…
A unique turnaround
You could be excused for thinking that in his managerial career, Klopp has seen it all, but even he was surprised by the intensity of his team’s resolve at St. James’.
The coach stated, “I’ve never had a game like this in my more than a thousand games as a coach.
These moments are uncommon and really precious, but I felt the boys deserved it today because we performed better with ten men on the field.
After leading the stunning turnaround, Dawin Nunez naturally garnered attention, and the manager acknowledged that “you could have worse arguments” to start him.
When asked if the Uruguayan had done enough to merit a starting spot, Klopp responded, “I have never made a decision about a lineup a week before the game.”
After being reduced to 10 men on both occasions, Liverpool had to work hard to earn their previous two victories. According to the manager, his team needs to “create a spirit” to handle difficult situations.
It’s still early in the season, and the boys’ environment and comprehension are excellent, but their spirit is distinct, he insisted.
“We need to create key moments because the team has new, young players, and today was definitely one of those moments,” the coach said.
