klopp presser
Klopp on Matip saying no to Cameroon return: "We had that talk a few weeks ago. Players needs to make these decisions themselves."
Klopp on Barca trip: "It was the best thing to do after losing a game. It was good for us to stay together. It's a nice place, sun shining."
Klopp on Karius: "I only heard about harsh criticism. I analysed and 8 players could have defended the goal before Loris was involved."
Klopp: "Even the best goalkeepers in the world make mistakes. De Gea made one similar recently. There is no perfect recipe for development."
Klopp on Sturridge: "No idea when he will be back. Until now he hasn't trained. He's not with the team."
Klopp on Sturridge: "He's not happy. That's the life of footballer. You can't force these things."
Maybe today he will go on the pitch, but that means we’re starting football work on the pitch and not with the team, with the rehab coach
Klopp: "I can't make timelines. What's the game after Middlesbrough? Everton? That would be nice but I have no idea."
“You can’t force these things, it doesn’t matter the quality of the player. It’s not perfect with our situation with Phil and Danny.”
“Hopefully he will be back as quick as possible - but I have no idea.
“We don’t have to think about him for West Ham or Middlesbrough.. Maybe then but I have no idea.
Barca trip again
“It was a wonderful opportunity the club gave us. Any person needs a little bit of rest. You can’t push them through all the time.”
Klopp : "In England with this intensive time ahead it was important to take the opportunity (to go to Spain). We used the time."
Good food. Nice weather. All good!
Bournemouth
Klopp: "At 3-1 up we played one bad pass and they scored. They used that situation. It was our fault. We were responsible for it."
Klopp: "We played good enough to win the game (at Bournemouth) until it slipped through our fingers. We were passive - not usual for us."
“No concern (it might leave a mark on players). When you win a game like this it’s not certain you’re prepared for the next game. You don’t always win these games, sometimes you lose them.
WEST HAM:
For me it’s very important we keep playing how we played (at Bournemouth), with better defending of course!
Klopp: "We will be angry (on Sunday). But West Ham will be a tough challenger - interesting game."
Klopp: "Nobody would have expected WH's situation in table. They have had injuries. They all come back to play us but that's not a problem."
Klopp: "West Ham want the points and that makes me angry just thinking about it."
Klopp on Sheyi Ojo return
“I said if he is doing well, then the door is open. But that’s how it is with all the players.
My ears and eyes are always open.
Klopp on Ojo: "The door is always open and we have to look at all our options. It's up to the players."
