Despite another disappointing performance for Liverpool in their 0-0 draw with Chelsea, Jurgen Klopp told reporters that he considered the performance a “small step” in the right direction.
Here are the key moments from Klopp’s post-Chelsea press conference…
A pre-match message from Wenger?
Of course it was of Klopp The 1000th game in management.
And the boss hinted that Arsene Wenger was among those who congratulated him before the match.
The former Arsenal manager lost his 1,000th game in charge with a 6-0 scoreline and despite Liverpool’s lackluster performance on Saturday, he was glad the event wasn’t marked so negatively!
“Firstly, I got a lot of messages before the game and not all of them were nice,” Klopp joked.
“I think Arsene Wenger lost his 1,000th game 6-0 so I’m very glad it didn’t happen!
“I liked the start of the first half and I liked the start of the second half. It was good. We must extend these spells.
“It was progress, definitely”
It’s clear that Liverpool fans were very disappointed after the official whistle.
However, Klopp insists the result shows some “progress” by his players.
“I understand. In our situation we have to be ready for small steps, and today it was a small step, that’s the situation,” Klopp said.
“I expect progress and I think after the last championship game it was definitely progress. It is essential that.
“I’ve seen us in many moments very compact, really together, good challenges.”
“Even Thiago!”
So what does it do? Liverpool need to do to improve?
In Klopp’s eyes, the answer to that question seems pretty clear.
“We were compact, we won really good balls, we caused them problems,” Klopp said.
“From here on we have to work better with the ball.
“Even Thiago, a great footballer, was giving balls away, making unprovoked mistakes and things like that. This is something we need to do better.
“If we do that, if we defend well, play more in those moments, use each other more, suddenly everything will look completely different. This is where we need to get to.
A massive blank slate
In the last question of the press conference, Klopp asked the importance of keeping another clean sheet, Liverpool’s second in a row.
“Huge,” he said, grinning.
“Immediately after the game you can’t forget the moments they had and tomorrow I won’t remember them anymore. It’s just a blank slate and it’s really good.
“There are things we have to rely on, and that’s what we’re going to do.”
