This Saturday, the team returns to the field to face Arsenal, fifth at Anfield. Jürgen Klopp said in an interview with the Liverpool website that the team could not offer counter-attacks to the Gunners, just like in the duel against Newcastle.
– Arsenal have a good time. They have a fantastic team and a great coach, so it will be a tough match. It's a completely different game, of course. If we let them counterattack as we did (against Newcastle), I do not think we will have a chance to win because they are very strong in this area. So we have to improve many aspects – he said. The German called Liverpool's first round of "unbelievable". Zero defeat, 16 wins, 43 goals scored, seven goals conceded and 51 points earned represent the first position for the Reds. Klopp said that the goal of the first half of the tournament had been achieved, but that it was necessary to maintain the same performance to win the title.
– On the other hand, we have 51 points and it's amazing. We played the first round of the championship and we remained undefeated, that 's good and we felt that moment. The second part of the competition begins and when it all started, our wish was to create a base in the first half, to be used in the second. We created this base and now we have to work with it. "
