Jurgen Klopp admits Liverpool will analyse the poor start that forced them to come from behind to beat Bournemouth.
The Reds were hugely disappointing during the opening 20 minutes in which the visitors had a goal disallowed and took the lead through Antoine Semenyo.
Liverpool, though, improved as the game progressed and were ahead at the break through Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah before Diogo Jota scored shortly after Alexis Mac Allister had been sent off after 58 minutes.
And of the alarming beginning to the match,
Jurgen Klopp said: “The start was not how we wanted it. Conceding the first goal after a minute is not good but then it is offside so you think okay, that is the wake-up call needed. Then a minute later we concede. Two minutes later, we have a yellow card for our goalie but they are human beings and we will work out why, try to figure out why then you saw in the game that we were awake. We were not immediately fluent enough but step by step, we found a way into the game and played pretty well, we scored two goals which was really good. We had more chances, could’ve scored, didn’t then again 58 minutes, we’re down to 10 men and it’s a fight but that’s fine.”
Klopp was impressed with the attitude of his team following the red card,
Jurgen Klopp said: “It was really good, really good. We scored the third goal, in that situation we still had our moments, we still counter-attacked. I never (planned) on playing or training in that formation, the boys did extremely well, the boys fought extremely hard. The situations that Bournemouth had were high balls into the box, a header, square, that’s hard to defend and avoid – especially with a man down. I thought we did really well.”
Liverpool drew their opening game at Chelsea last weekend and Klopp is content with the return of four points from the first two games.
Jurgen Klopp said: “I think it’s the minimum that we should expect from the two games. I count games where I think we should win and maybe lose but when you go to Chelsea, I’m not sure any team goes there and books the points in. In our first home game, we want to win, if we wouldn’t have won people would’ve talked differently but that is now fine. We have big games coming up, the next one already waiting (at Newcastle United) and that will be a tough one. It’s all right but now we have to keep going.”
