Jurgen Klopp has been full of praise for Newcastle United and Eddie Howe’s style of play following our convincing 1-0 win over Man Utd.
He admitted to watching the game and was “really impressed”, revealing that he was ‘wowed’ by our ability to deliver such a high quality and intense performance with the exact same 11 who had a “big fight” in Paris just a few days earlier.
Speaking after Liverpool’s dramatic 4-3 win over Fulham on Sunday, he hailed the “exceptional football” we produced, feeling it was the perfect advert for pressing, counter-pressing and “really good football.” Steady on Jurgen!
Here’s what he had to say when speaking to the press about us yesterday:
🗣 "That was not only a big fight, it was an exceptional football match."

“I don’t think I ever praised them before, but I saw them playing last night (vs Man United) and I was really impressed, I have to say ‘wow’.
“They played the same team, pretty much exactly the same team like in Paris, and that was a big fight.
“Yes, it was not only a big fight, it was exceptional football, it was a commercial for pressing, counter-pressing and direct football, really good football.”
