Jurgen Klopp spotlights Liverpool strength 'nobody wants to talk about' after transfer overhaul




Klopp believes comparisons between the current Liverpool squad and the side that won six trophies across 2019-2022 are unfair


Klopp has revealed his love of the new-look team.



Klopp's team underwent significant surgery earlier this year after finishing fifth last term.


Klopp added four new midfielders to his ranks in Dominik Szoboszlai, Wataru Endo, Alexis Mac Allister and Ryan Gravenberch


The transfer business has given a freshness to Liverpool this term, as they look to make it 13 wins from 16 matches across all competitions this time out.


Klopp says he is delighted with how his new team have adjusted after last season's struggles but he is not yet ready to compare



Klopp


"It’s new, I understand,"


"It’s just not fair if you [compare]. We had a fantastic team two years ago who could have won the Champions League and we could have won more competitions.


"We could have won the Champions League two more times, [with] the team we had. Not that we should but we could with that team.


"We cannot forget but then everyone wants change but at the right moment and you don’t want to change when you don’t need to and people say: 'Hey why do we change?'


"But obviously it was time. We went from the oldest midfield in the league to nearly the youngest in the league in maybe one and a half or two years, it’s good.


"The players we bought in are all quality and different to the players we had before.


"Macca (Alexis Mac Allister) is a different No.6 to Fabinho. Ryan, Dom and even Wataru are very different and that is very cool. The most important thing is that we could train so long together and we are kind of stable."



Klopp added:


"That's the thing nobody wants to hear or talk about but that we don’t concede and concede and concede is the most important [aspect]. That’s where you build real confidence.


"Then you can show up offensively and then everything is all right.


"As a team then you don't have to score from each chance. Not only the player but the team. It's good.

"I love the team, it’s really cool and good to work with, and yes the potential is there. Now we have to make sure together that we can make quality of it, consistent quality and that is the job."
