Jurgen Klopp has complete trust in Liverpool after a thumping win over Tottenham to bounce back in the Premier League.

Jurgen Klopp believes that Liverpool displayed absolute prowess in their win over Tottenham on Thursday. After the triumph, the Reds moved back into top-four, just four points behind league leaders Manchester City.

Roberto Firmino, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Sadio Mane netted their first league goals of 2021 for Liverpool. Kloppโ€™s side bounced back after saddening defeats against Burnley and Manchester United.

The German tactician was delighted with the performance and believes that a comeback is right up the sleeve. 

Self-belief.

“We scored goals in the right moments, wonderful goals,” Klopp told BT Sport. “The right people scored the goals. All good, apart from obviously Joel Matip had to go off. What I saw today was not about form, itโ€™sโ€ฆ who we are. Thatโ€™s us. Today, the second half especially, was us. It was a massive fight and football on top of that.

“I donโ€™t know the numbers but I think apart from a few minutes in the first half, I donโ€™t remember them having a lot of the ball. It was always pretty quick and counter-attacking and we defender really well. It was just a good performance and I saw a lot of things I wanted to see.

“Offensively, the way we played, I thought we coped really well with their formation. Played around, played in between, so we were so often in and around the box which is really important. The counter-press was really good. The last line defended really well; high enough but not crazy high.”
