A bit more on the pre-match bother at Villa Park … and on that downer, we’ll close this Clocko. Thanks for reading.
Jurgen Klopp talks to TNT. “Most important, we head the group and that will not change so that is good … a lot of good stuff … some stuff I didn’t like too much … this game should have been to bed before half time … if you are in charge, kill it, and we didn’t do that … we opened up the game a bit … we gave them chances and let Caoimhin make a few saves … nice for him but I don’t need it! … it’s his first clean sheet … defensively we were extremely strong … we lost rhythm … we go to Union Saint-Gilloise to win but it’s good that we don’t have to … we are not short of games, so it’s all fine … Conor [Bradley] with just a few moments in the game you can see immediately that he’s a real talent, a real prospect for us … Luke [Chambers] as well … we could have brought back Kaide Gordon who is finally back in full training and looks super … there is a lot of positives … sometimes when you are a real talent like Conor or Stefan Bajcetic, for example, you are ready footballing-wise, but the body still needs to grow into the intensity … we have to make sure we don’t overdo it.”
