Jordan Henderson and Naby Keita are both available for Sunday’s clash with Fulham.
Jurgen says the Reds always miss Jordan Henderson when he’s unavailable.
QUOTE
“When Jordan is not available we always miss him,” he continued.
“I would love to say Hendo would have changed the whole game [at Red Star], but I’m not sure about it. It was strange, and not ‘us’.
“The game before that was absolutely OK. We only have to admit that Arsenal is a good football team.
“We were 1-0 up, we had big chances, we didn’t score, so it was 1-1. Nothing to do with players in or out.
“It’s good to have them back, probably for the first time that all midfield players—apart from Ox—are available.
“That’s another thing to do, making decisions. It’s all about fitness levels, form, shape, whatever. Then we will see.”

On latest defeat
QUOTE
“Tuesday wasn’t the same game as the Saturday, we all struggled.
“I don’t make a big fuss about it, just like I don’t celebrate a good performance for five days.”
“It’s all about a reaction from Tuesday, but [Sunday] is a different competition.
“Red Star are not like, with all respect, Maribor last year. They had three players back and the atmosphere. It was different to the home game against us.”
“Nobody expected a result and a performance like that but things like this can happen. In general the shape of the team is good and we’ve played a lot of really good games.”

“It was more a general meeting.
“The season so far point-wise is really successful but it doesn’t feel like that - comparison with free-flowing football last season in a few games, and City and Chelsea playing a good season.”

Klopp believes Liverpool are having to apologise for not winning games in the style of Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City.
QUOTE
We are really ambitious and we want to take whatever we can get. We have 27pts. We win a game and then we have to say sorry for not winning it in a City way, I get it.”
The manager also reckons his side are being compared with last season, but says reflection is not important after their strong start to this campaign.
QUOTE
“We had a bad game and we never ignore that. We don’t want to lose and you always have to show a reaction after a defeat; that’s obvious.
“If we had the same form two years ago people would say that’s great but now we always compare to last season.”

“I’m not in doubt about the reaction. I think you can feel it a little bit.
“It’s not problem people compare [with last season] and ask if Mo Salah was in the same shape as last season. But I didn’t know he had already scored more this season in October than last year.
“At the moment they all score enough to give us 27 points. You ask whether they are the same as last year. For us it is not too important what happened last year but for the people, and because of the squad and the signings, we have to use that and not the other way around.”
