The German manager lauded the Scottish Left-back Andy Robertson for his relentless attacking runs which gave a boost to the team.
He also implied the importance of the introduction of Harvey Elliott and Cody Gakpo, they played a huge part in the team’s overall pace. He said,
“Example, Robbo going down the line constantly, which was really helpful. That’s the problem, the game was a difficult one to get rhythm but we should have had a better rhythm than we had.
That’s what we got after 60 or whatever. OK, we needed then Macca’s wondergoal obviously to turn it properly around, but the third goal was exactly like it should have been before already, these kind of moments – Robbo full speed, wonderful cross, sensational header and then we won the game.”
Jurgen Klopp was delighted to see the world-class performance put on show at Anfield by their World Cup-winning Argentine, Alexis Mac Allister.
