Jurgen Klopp reacts to his Liverpool side's 3-1 win at LASK in their opening Europa League game
Jurgen Klopp admits he had to convince his Liverpool players they were performing better than they thought as they eventually eased to opening Europa League success.
Liverpool had dominated the first half but struggled to fashion real chances and were behind at the break though Florian Flecker’s well-worked opener. “It was a tough start, yes,” said the Liverpool boss. “Obviously LASK had in the first half one shot on target and it was after a set-piece. We had very good moments but I saw the boys didn’t feel that. It was not that we could gain confidence from our good moments – we didn’t seem to think we should do that again.
“And so that was – we showed them two football situations from the first half where we did pretty well. The boys clearly thought there was nothing good in the first half but that was not true.
