Press conferenceJürgen Klopp: There were a lot of good moments - it was a great game

The Reds claimed an emphatic three points against the Whites on Monday night, as Mohamed Salah and Diogo Jota both netted twice for Liverpool alongside strikes from Cody Gakpo and Darwin Nunez.

Luis Sinisterra briefly cut the deficit for the hosts in the second half, though Klopp's charges ran out clear victors to earn the spoils.

On what pleased him most from the game...

I don't know. [What] pleased me most? The moment of the game, the best [one] I enjoyed the most, was the 92nd minute. I think it was already five or six-one, we lose the ball and four players chase the poor, poor player from Leeds down in that moment. I think that's the basis for the whole game because that gave us stability. It was, from a counter-pressing point of view, definitely the best game we played this season. In possession probably as well.

Being calm, prepared with little passes, preparing direction in a really good way. At least three goals we scored [came] after counter-press, which is obviously massively helpful. Then we were calm in the decisive moments to pass exceptional balls. I think Mo's second was super play, I'm not sure if it was Curtis to Robbo, then Cody, then playing the ball to Mo. That was really, really good. A lot of good moments; the last goal was a sensational pass from Trent and Darwin could finish it off. It was a good game.

On Jota getting his first goals of the season...

Yeah, [he was] injured too long, same like Lucho [Diaz], and that's obviously tricky. Diogo was involved in a lot of top, top moments, won the ball back and set up Mo's first. Still, you can see there is space for improvement and he has some moments where you can see the rhythm maybe [is] not 100 per cent. The front three played tonight - and we could've had a completely different front three - the way they defended tonight, that was an important part of it, because they all can play football, but we need to understand it starts there. I think the counter-pressing mode was set by Curtis and Hendo, it was absolutely top how they chased pretty much everything on the pitch. That was super-important. I didn't remember a situation where Robbo was in a one-on-one situation or Trent was in a one-on-one situation because we were always moving to the ball. So many important things and I liked it a lot.

On Luis Diaz's return to action...

Yeah, super-important, so Luis is back. He's now lacking rhythm, which is normal, [and] a bit of sharpness, but that's normal as well. In training sessions you cannot get there to the final degree of sharpness, so we now try to just help him [get there] step by step back really into the team [and] give him minutes. It's just nice to see him play, to be honest. We missed him so long, so it's just nice to see him being involved again.

On Trent Alexander-Arnold's central position in possession and overall performance...

He won the ball back for the first goal from that position as well, stepping really out there - it was good. Yeah, impressive. I think also the highlight was then the last pass [his assist for Nunez], but he had a few more from that position. Wherever Trent is [on the pitch] he can be decisive with his passes, he was very often for us, that's how it is, tonight was a good game, you could see that he enjoyed it.

On attempting to build on the result for the remaining games...

Yeah, I don't know. I don't know what it will lead to. I said now in all TV interviews already, so it's super-important what is happening from now on because it will go on after that, there will be a next season. I have no clue where we can end up this season; I do just not know. It depends massively on all other teams around us. As long as there are teams in front of us they can win all the games, as long as we don't play them, [they] can win all the games without [us being able] to do anything against that. So, that's now in this moment not too important, what is important is what we showed in the second half against Arsenal.

I think we agree it could have gone either way, we are two-nil down early, Arsenal is flying, and they score the third or fourth and you have a real problem. But we reacted well and got a point, which we deserved at least, I would say. And tonight now [it's] super-important that we really understand what we got here, we play a really bad season, but some things are not really to explain, some things are definitely to explain and not acceptable. But now when we put in good performances we can understand what's possible. That's really, really important for me and that's why I don't think [about] where we can push to, or whatever. I just want us to play top football and play and win games. Then we will see where we end up.
