Jürgen Klopp

So, of course, it was very, very good.

It was far away from perfect, but it was very good because we defended well.

Not as well as we would, but we took our chances and we made brilliant goals, of course, in counter-attacks.

This one goal can change a game, of course, and Man City changing the half-time, two players.

It's difficult to stay in a game with this quality of the opponent,

We did it well with big passion and that's important.

Not perfectly defended but big passion and then we made this one goal and that was the decision of course.

the passion we played because you cannot win against a team like Man City without this, and we did this, we tried to close the spaces where they want to play, we pressed high, and I think the crowd was a little bit nervous when they couldn't build up their game like they want.

That's the first step in a game, and we did it, and it was good, really good.

Yes, I think so.

OK, that you have this bench today is a big plus, that you can change like this, but we had a little bit of a problem with yellow cards, our two midfielders.

Lucas and Emery got early yellow cards and that's not so good.

So we had to wait a little bit, then Dejan with his cramps, so we had again to wait, but of course you can bring in Benteke and Ibe in a game like this, it's perfect for us, and Sturridge on the bench, it was better that he didn't have to play tonight so he can train now a few more days, but he gets more and more opportunity, a very important opportunity for us, so I think it's OK now.

Almost not frustrated, but of course in this moment if we had our chances, I think Roberto could have scored one or two more goals, but it is like it is, everything is OK, we don't want to say now we have to win here higher than 4-1, it's OK, it's good, big step, very important for the table of course, the points, 20 points now, that's very important.

A good day for us.

You say big step, do you think it's a big step in terms of belief amongst your players?

Yes, that's the most important thing, because I told them in the half-time they were a little bit surprised that we are 3-0 in the lead.

We played too many balls to Simon in this moment, not because... Simon is a really good footballer, but he cannot change a game for us, we cannot give him the ball and he should find a solution, because we gave him the ball too late and then nobody showed himself that he won the ball.

That was a big problem in the last ten, twelve minutes of the first half, and we have to learn.

to be in a clear lead and then to go on with our game.
