Jurgen Klopp impressed with progress of Everton under Marco Silva

Jurgen Klopp believes that the current Everton squad is the best he’s seen from the Blues since he joined as Liverpool boss in 2015.

The Blues visit Anfield on Sunday and face the task of attempting to become the first team to beat their city rivals in the Premier League this season.

After 13 games, Liverpool have won 10 games and drawn three and are just two points behind champions and leaders Manchester City. The clash at Anfield is huge as any points dropped will provide Manchester City with the opportunity to extend the gap at the top of the Premier League.

As he prepares his side to face Everton after a disappointing loss to PSG midweek, the German manager is aware that the Blues are at their strongest since he joined Liverpool in 2015.

“Since I’ve been here, Everton has always been really busy, but this is the best-tuned squad, 100 per cent,” the former Borussia Dortmund manager said.

“They brought in a player that he [Silva] wanted because he knew him – Richarlison, and what a player he is. Last year [Theo] Walcott came in, then Bernard came in this year, [Andre] Gomes came in this year, [Lucas] Digne came in this year.

“Everything is there, creativity, speed, good organisation. [Seamus] Coleman is back and fit, [Micheal] Keane settled and fit – and a brilliant player for their build-up –  then Digne is like the young [Leighton] Baines, if you want. They have a really good team, then England’s number one in goal [in Jordan Pickford].

“That is a proper squad, and it would be in all leagues in Europe. I’m 100 per cent sure they would be a European team in whichever competition. In England it’s quite difficult, yet their development and improvement is obvious.”
