Klopp: Never doubt the depth of the team's offensive line-up Takumi Minamino can play in different positions

Live bar, September 22 In a previous match in the third round of the English League Cup, Liverpool beat Norwich 3-0. After the game, Reds boss Klopp said at a press conference that he never doubted the depth of Liverpool's squad on the offensive end.

Was it a perfect night?

Klopp: "No, because we have to make too many changes to solve the problems we had in the game and the players are well aware of that. We had a great start, I liked that, we were very aggressive and very active. We put Taylor in the No. 6 position, which seemed natural, the players passed smarter, Chamberlain's position changed, he was a little bit up front on the left wing so he could use his speed. It's clear that Takumi Minamino is in very good shape, he's stringing the games together with Taylor and Curtis Jones, and the players are doing a great job. ”

Two goals about Takumi Minamino

Klopp: "It's a logical thing, he's in a really good moment, I know he didn't play too many games, he was injured at the wrong moment and then came back. Sometimes it's not easy, but he has a top-notch personality and he enjoys tonight's game. Scoring goals is important for him and it's important for us, so it will help him and it will help us. ”

Have Liverpool proved they have enough squad depth on the offensive end?

Klopp: "I never doubted that, we've said that before. Firmino did his first part of the session yesterday and he is not far from playing again. We have two midfielders who can't play and we should make sure that number doesn't get any more. The start of the season so far has been good for the whole team, but that's just the beginning and we have a lot to do. ”

Has the recent lack of playing time frustrated Takumi Minano?

Klopp: "I'm not sure if that's going to frustrate him, the players want to play, it's obvious. He played for the national team and then got injured there, and when he came back he felt unwell and then he recovered. It's not that he hasn't played in 16 weeks, and other players need time to get back on track after injury. Takumi Minamino is in a great time, he's trained well and he deserves both goals. The first goal he was conscious of was great, reacted quickly and finished in that situation. Second, he sped up very quickly in a small space. No one needs to worry, and so does Takumi Minamino. ”

About the second half to let Takumi Minamino appear in midfield

Klopp: "We want him to be a midfielder because now he looks strong. We didn't make the most of the space, so we put him there and we wanted Chamberlain to have more freedom on the left flank and that's why, we just want Takumi Minamino to string the races together. He's a smart player who can play different positions, that's it. ”

About the performance of 16-year-old Gordon

Klopp: "He's great, even though he still has a lot to improve and a lot to learn, but he's already excellent. We're really happy to have him in the team and we'll be careful about his situation. I'm really glad he's here, he's a genius. ”
