Match report: Brentford 1-4 Liverpool
Premier League: It was a comfortable win for a Liverpool side who went five points clear at the Premier League summit but lost three key players to injuries of varying degrees of seriousness.
Jurgen Klopp speaks: “It is mixed emotions, we lost players which we don’t know how serious it is,” he says in an interview with TNT. “It doesn’t look great for either of them. But we cannot chanfge that any more. What the boys did after 15 minutes was exceptional against a team set up to annoy you and have set pieces. Eighteen times a set piece is flying into your box.
“It has nothing to do with quality or it has nothing to do with luck. You need bodies and luck in a moment and a goalie as well and we had Caoimhin, who played an incredible game. We played a good game from a specific moment on. We controlled them as much as you can and we are happy about that.”
Does he think his team are having bad luck with injuries? “Definitely. I think there was a knock on Curtis [Jones]. It was a challenge with Diogo [Jota] as well and Darwin [Nunez]. We are not sure if he has something or not, he fell and he felt something. We will see. It was never easy for us, at the moment it is fine. We have 57 points and in a few days play again.”
