Jurgen Klopp pleased, but he wants improvement from his side

Liverpool have gone to the top of the Premier League table after defeating Brighton and Hove Albion 1-0 at Anfield on Saturday.

Mohamed Salah put Liverpool ahead 22 minutes into the game, and also gave the Reds all three points with a clinical finish.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is pleased with the start his side have made to the new season, but he feels there is plenty of room for improvement.

“Nine points after three games, I never heard anything negative about that. We didn’t concede a goal, nothing negative about that,” said Klopp, as quoted by The Independent.

“If you watched the games – we knew before the game but now a few more people know – we have a lot more to do.

“First half was a good mindset, really patient in the right moment, and we scored the goal and could’ve score more and I don’t think they had a chance in the first half.

“Then there was half-time and we didn’t do exactly the same, the boys changed a little bit and it was not the best idea.

“We didn’t show the same patience and it was a more open game and there was absolutely no need for that.

“The last 10 minutes they (Brighton) had their moments as we started passing through an area where they was no space.

“They had their chances and Alisson had to make a big save; nice, good for us. We won the game very deservedly. One-nil is not a result we’ve had very often since I was in but I am very happy because it was the best we could get today.”

Liverpool’s upcoming task in the league is a trip to the King Power Stadium to face Leicester City next Saturday.
