The Reds, who triumphed on their recent visit to Molineux, will be hoping to repeat their FA Cup victory on Saturday afternoon.
Klopp on whether he expects a different approach from Wolves on Saturday
“Actually, not much different. The Wolves manager is someone who represents a specific way of playing and we will see that again.”
Klopp on Fabinho is struggling this season
“There are no arguments or anything like that. He knows he doesn’t fly. It’s really useful now that we have Stefan because we need him, the guy who wants to win challenges, protect everyone and play football. Fabinho has already been absolutely brilliant for many years, but right now it doesn’t work.”
Klopp on the Konate injury
“Ibou has a muscle injury and we don’t think it’s huge. After the game, I asked him and he said everything was fine. Then process, scan and exit. It’s not cool. Joey and Joel have played together before, so that’s okay, but not perfect.”
Klopp on injuries
“In general, things are better. Jota had a full session with the team this week. I think he’s basically going back to training next week. Bobby is approaching. Luis is in the running now, it will be a few more weeks. Iboe is out. Virgil approaches, but isn’t quite ready for the game. Nothing else so far, but there are still two hours until training.”
Klopp on possible changes to improve fortunes
“We’ve always changed little things and most of the time it’s been an instant improvement and it’s really fun. We’ve changed the system more than ever this season, the main reason is that we haven’t done so well. defended. We played a lot in 4-4-2.”
Klopp on key Liverpool players struggling to reach the usual heights
“You have to deal with that. Of course, some players haven’t reached the level that we have consistently reached. One of the best examples is Marcus Rashford, the season he had last year and this year . I don’t know if he can even explain it. That’s how it works. The time between those two extremes, you have to work your way through it.”
Klopp on Roberton’s recent quotes on Liverpool’s disappointing season
“Right after the game, we’re all equally disappointed. He’s got his heart on his sleeve, which is good. It’s not a bigger deal than that for me, not at all. We love this game, and boys mostly because they can still play it, and a big part of it is the desire to win football games. If you don’t understand it, it’s difficult.”
Klopp on upcoming matches with Everton, Real Madrid and Newcastle
“I’m not worried about a series of matches, not at all. We have to use the time we have to improve, play the football we want to play and work on the things we think are badly needed.”
