LIVERPOOL COACH REACTS TO WIN AGAINST WEST HAM
Reacting after the game, Klopp said: “I think the first half was a really good first half, with a bad ending for us with the penalty… but then with a good ending because Ali could save the penalty,” as quoted by Liverpool.com.
“It still left a bit of a bad taste like we were lucky, but first half we were not – we played an exceptional game.
“We played really good football, we created, we scored a wonderful goal, hit the post, Fabianski with great saves and big blocks in the decisive areas from West Ham, but we didn’t play that well in the second half, so that’s why the game opened up.
“We had our moments, obviously, but in general we didn’t play enough to control the game. Then, if you don’t control it, West Ham are there, then the long balls flying in and great set-pieces. In the end, we needed Ali, we needed Millie’s big toe and we needed a couple of things.
