Klopp's pre-match press conference vs Everton:
Liverpool ready to bounce back from PSG defeat
QUOTE
"We didn't need a defeat in Paris to get us motivated for Everton. It's a special game. It's always felt different, always was different in the preparation. In an ideal week we'd have a week to build up.
QUOTE
"It's the special game. Since I've been in it has always felt different. The only bad thing is that we never had enough time to prepare it. The game have always been difficult. Everton are a different team now, different style."
Praise for Everton, Silva and Richarlison
QUOTE
They're a really good opponent. The games were always difficult in the last couple of years but the improvement of Everton is obvious. It's a completely different team, different style. It's good."
Oh yes. It may not be too nice for all the other managers but he has the best squad as well. "That's how it is. They brought in players he wanted.
"Richarlison? What a player he is.
"Last year Walcott came in, very good, Bernard came in this year, Gomes came in this year, Mina came in this year. Since I'm in here Everton was always really busy but now it is the best tuned squad ... 100 per cent.
"One or two years ago they talked about Rooney coming back, Sigurdsson coming in, but then it was said they can't play together, they have a lack of speed, blah, blah, blah, but now they have everything there. Creativity, speed, good organisaition.
"Coleman is back and fit. Keane settled and fit, Mina is a brilliant player, very important for the build up and everything and Digne is like the young Baines if you will.
"They are a really good team and of course there is England's number one in the goal.
"That's a proper squad - and it would be in (a proper squad) in all the leagues in Europe I'm 100 per cent sure in whatever competition."
Reds prepared for Henderson absence
QUOTE
"The squad situation, not 100% sure at the moment to be honest," Klopp said. "The day before yesterday we played, it was quite an intense game and we had a lot of knocks. We have to see.
"It's good we have one day more as Wednesday-Saturday would be difficult.
"But when it is Sunday it will be enough to have a near full squad then but I don't know exactly how the situation will be tomorrow for training."
QUOTE
"I don't like to talk too much about players we don't have available, we knew it after the Watford game with Hendo," he added.
"So, we will not miss him because it was clear he was not in. We have to play without Hendo, that's how it is. As long as the others are fit, we have solutions for that, that's good.
"As a person, he is in the dressing room, only not on the pitch. Before the game he can do whatever he is doing in other games."
Asked whether summer signings ready for derby
QUOTE
"Absolutely (they are ready), we have the whole week together, they know about it," he insisted. "He (Henderson) is not available, what should I do? Ask the FA?
"I will choose a team who I think is ready. Are they ready? We will see, we have to prove it. If I said: we have a real problem, I don't have enough time to make them ready for a derby, what kind of idiot would I be?
"Don't ask questions when the answer is not already clear on a plate. Yes, I think they are ready, but we have to prove it on Sunday."
No problems with midfield
QUOTE
"We conceded five [league] goals and you say our midfield is overrun? I don't see that. No, I don't see any problems in midfield."
