“Against a strong side, you can see the attacking threat of West Ham is a big one. We need to not get carried away, we need to be intense from the start and step-by-step we can get a real foot in the game and win it - it will be difficult.”
He continued: “The only way you can change is by taking your chances. We have to play the football game, it is not that difficult the boys are brilliant and that is why we have the amount of points we have.”
When asked about Salah recently, Klopp said: “I am not particularly concerned. That’s what strikers do, that’s what happens to strikers, that’s how it is. We have to go through this, he has to go through that. He is one of the most experienced players we have in the squad. We will go through that but that’s pretty much all.”
