Jurgen Klopp was a happy man with his team’s exciting football at the Etihad tonight.
An injury crippled match from both teams saw Liverpool take on City and as the result finished 1-1 neither manage could have had much to complain about. Indeed Klopp was impressed with his team’s attacking football last night.
“Super football game to be honest,” he told Sky Sports in his post-match press conference. “Two top teams ready for a massive fight – energy levels of both teams incredible. You could see after 10-15 mins everybody breathing [deeply].
“I’m really happy – City’s lowest number of chances against us.”
“We had counter-attacking moments. So many. We obviously didn’t finish it off which is a shame.
“To change a system to play City… the boys are ready to listen, adapt and perform. In a lot of moments we could have created bigger chances.
“We were really good and dangerous. We were ready to make little passes – there were moments we played too many long balls. Time to time we just wanted to get rid of the ball.
“Footballing-wise lots of good moments. Robbo could go 95 mins – energy level was incredible.”
Liverpool are now third in the league standings behind Tottenham and Leicester both of whom registered 1-0 wins on the night.
