Jurgen Klopp is of the opinion that his squad is one of the strongest he has ever worked with.
“It’s really hard in the moment to make the squad,” Klopp, who became the first Liverpool manager to register five five-plus goal away wins, told LFCTV. “Wow, I’ve never had a situation like that with the quality of the players not being in the squad.
“They all have made really big steps. Dom Solanke was not in the squad but is in outstanding shape at the moment. Ragnar Klavan, unbelievable. Ben Woodburn makes steps and is really close to everything. It’s difficult, it’s getting more and more difficult, but that’s good for us of course.”
“Danny is in fantastic shape. It always takes time. Now, after two-and-a-half years, he can play in the Champions League. It’s a wonderful story, it’s really deserved,” added Klopp. “Is Danny knocking on the door for the first team? Yes, absolutely. It’s good. He needed time.
“A few months ago it was different but a player like him, when they come back they think ‘I am under pressure’ and they want to come in immediately and get game time. Danny went the hard way. He played a lot of games for the under-23s.
“If you feel like a settled player, like he usually is, and then you play under-23 and are not the best player on the pitch, then it’s not nice but it’s an important experience again.”
