Klopp on Anfield crowd: They were “really unbelievable” on Sunday

Jurgen Klopp was pleased with the way in which his players overcame Spurs on Sunday, and has paid tribute to the Anfield crowd for driving them on until the final whistle was blown.

Roberto Firmino opened the scoring after a pinpoint cross from Andy Robertson found him in the penalty area before Lucas Moura levelled things up after the break.

However, a late howler from Hugo Lloris gifted Liverpool all three points at Anfield, and the Reds manager was keen to praise his players and supporters.

“For me, when we scored [to make it] 2-1, it was relief as well. It was not like bouncing around and stuff like that,” Klopp told Liverpoolfc.com. “It was relief.

“I think first half, of course, we deserved it. Second half was an open game with 25 minutes better [for] Tottenham. But they have the quality, so that’s what you have to expect and accept as well.

“I have to say, I thought the crowd was unbelievable, really unbelievable. They were not nervous, that’s good.

“Nobody was really nervous – they knew it could happen, ‘Come on, let’s try’. They were really behind us and I love that.”

He added: “We need time together, we need time to train, prepare and all that stuff – and we have that now.

“We don’t need a lot of time, but we need it together. We have that now and now let’s go again, recover and then fly probably to Southampton.

“It’s another team in a really good moment. We will fight again. That’s all that I can promise.”
