Liverpool head coach Jurgen Klopp had a pre-Leicester City press-conference.
Champions League draw
It's not important what happened last season. It won't help us massively in the specific games. We won't be playing PSG thinking we're already halfway through because we beat City and Roma last season.
Adapting
"Last season won't help us massively. We have to prepare in the best way we can. I love trying to adapt to the different needs against different opponents."
Interesting Preparation
It's still an early part of the season. We have a lot of information but it's not like the first game in the PL season. It'll be interesting preparation, it's exciting when it's your first game in CL but it's no less exciting when it's game 10 in that competition.
No Surprises
I wasn't surprised (by the draw). It's PSG, it's Napoli, it's Belgrade. That's how it is. Let's play the Premier League and then be ready for the Champions League.
Squad Depth
Today is good but it needs to stay good. We have started 3 times in a row with the same line up - that won't be possible too often in the future."
All-Round Squad
Today it is good but it needs to stay good. August was always going to be different. Starting three times in a row with same line-up, that won't happen too many times this season. We didn't strengthen for August, but for all the other months.
Better Situation
The players are in a much better situation now than three weeks ago. We need a good result tomorrow and in all the other games. For that, we need all the players. I'm looking forward to it.
Throw-In Coach
I never heard about a throw-in coach (before). I played the game and managed many years but that doesn't make me a goalkeeper coach, for example. When I heard about Thomas, I wanted to meet him, And it was 100% clear wanted to employ him.
Never Enough Specialists
You cannot have enough specialists around. I must be the guy who makes the decision when to use the specialists, but you cannot have enough. We have fitness, medical department, conditioning, and now we have throw-ins. He has already made a difference. The boys like it.
Vardy
Jamie causes each teams problem with his style of play. That makes him different to nearly all other strikers in PL. Him not playing will change Leicester style of play slightly but they have good strikers.
Leicester
You can see Claude (Puel's) work is now paying off at Leicester. They have changed the style a bit. It is good football they are playing and are full of confidence especially after the last result (v Southampton).
Nothing to Moan About
He is a good goalkeeper, so far we have defended well. It's not like he's had 20 shots on target to deal with. Hopefully it stays like this. In moments, he needs to be there and so far so good. Nothing to moan about.
Going for Three
It would be fantastic if we get to 12, but we're not going for 12 v Leicester. We are going for three. We will try to win, for that we need to be ready for a fight. Leicester really have a good side. They have looked really good in the first three games.
Learning Things
After the international break we have some very difficult games. We will still try to do it at Leicester with all the things we have learned about them.
Chilwell Praise
I am fine with what I've seen so far but Leicester will be different. The midfield is really strong. Looks good, defensively line played together for a while. Chilwell massive player for them. Great future, looks big talent, is a good player.
Open Book
When you have a week Saturday-Saturday I'm open to who is showing me the most that they are desperate to play. The best way is like this. Then it's about what is needed for the opponent. It's not that I've closed the book because we won the last game.
Salah Dispute
I can't say too much about the Egypt situation, I spoke to him about that but it's between him and the FA. They will sort that, I'm pretty sure.
Important Jomez
Because of injury to Dejan and Joel, it's very important that he's played like he has. Hopefully he can continue with that. He will go with England probably play one or two games,.
Mignolet Stay Confirmed
He will not leave today, of course not. In general, discussing your individual problems in public doesn't make too much sense, it's better you speak to each other. But it was still okay. He's a human being.
He will not be leaving. I would say discussing your problems in public doesn't make too much sense. Better to speak to each other. If he was happy to be No.2 then I wouldn't really know him. He's a top professional, top goalie. Pretty good pay, by the way.
