Klopp's pre-match press conference vs Arsenal in BPL:
Jordan Henderson is out of the Arsenal game tomorrow
A decision will be made on Dejan Lovren, who is back training
QUOTE
It’s too soon for Jordan, for sure.
Dejan had full team training yesterday. We will have to see how he reacts. He will be involved in training again if nobody tells me any different and then we have to make a decision.
He was out for four weeks and will have been training for three days.
Daniel Sturridge is again missing and may not train properly for a week after suffering hip problem
QUOTE
Sturridge is not training. He was ill, really ill. Now he has a strain his hip muscle. It happened in a rehab session. It’s very small but it keeps him out of normal training for another week. or so, he can train but he won’t be in team training.
Jurgen Klopp admits Liverpool aren’t as free-flowing as earlier in the season and need to be more consistent
QUOTE
It was a free-flowing start, not too perfectly organised with no bad experience together.
As full of confidence as possible after a pre-season we were convinced we had done the right things.
The Barcelona game wasn’t too long ago, it was another nice game in London. Completely optimistic.
It doesn’t feel that free-flowing anymore but that’s how seasons are. Only Chelsea have that feeling still, all the rest have had better or worse moments in the season.
We have a lack of consistency. We cannot ignore it because we were involved in the games.
It’s not too important to compare the start of the season with this moment. But it’s obviously different.
He dismissed suggestions he doesn’t have enough leaders, or his team aren’t physical enough
QUOTE
We ran 121km in this game - 80% the wrong way - and had a really bad game.
But in terms of being physical in the challenge, it’s not a general problem. It hasn’t been until now.
In the five games we lost, we had only three yellow cards?
I’ve never forced my players to foul. We are a pretty fair team. In a challenge we want to win the ball, not break a leg.
Being physical means being ready to hurt yourself, not the other player.
Liverpool need to “prove” themselves again
QUOTE
What do I want? I want that players lead, and strike back.
I saw a lot of times, even when I was a player and i Was real mentality player as I wasn’t that good at football, for me that wasn’t always possible.
You try everything in the game, to have influence from the sideline that they can help each other.
But in the end we have to accept it didn’t work against Leicester.
In an ideal world, you need to be spot on from the first second.
We have these players they do it in different ways. Adam, Milly, Lucas Leiva these three players for sure, with different things. Usually also Roberto Firmino with his attitude, readiness you can give him the ball.
But against Leicester the first ball went five yards away from his foot and you thought ‘what’s that’ It started like this and couldn’t get any better.
I don’t know the last time he did that.
I can’t ignore the game against Tottenham, three weeks ago but pretty much the same players. Should we doubt them in general?
Being consistent is the most important thing, when you have the quality to reach something. Being inconsistent means you struggle.
Says he isn’t a “clown” and his mood is affected by what’s happened in recent weeks
