The German wants his players to 'stay angry' after witnessing one of their best performances of the season on Wednesday against a side vying for Champions League glory
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp was left delighted with the standard of his side’s display as they defeated Manchester City 3-0 on Tuesday.
Having lost to the same opponents on penalties in the League Cup final on Sunday, the Reds responded in terrific fashion, with goals from Adam Lallana, James Milner and Roberto Firmino earning them maximum points.
“The best word I can say to describe this was 'boom!’ Klopp said after the match.
“What can I say? It was, from the first until the last second, a really good performance from my side.
“It was lively, it was disciplined in a positive way, it was a never-give-up game and very intense.
“As you saw at the end of the first half, it was no problem for our players that we had a break! And then in the second half we could go again.”
Klopp admitted his side were frustrated by the weekend’s result but the German was delighted with the manner in which their emotions were channelled.
“We have to keep this, we have to stay angry, there’s so many points for us to get and we have to stay angry. We need to make it as difficult as possible,” he said.
