Klopp satisfied with Liverpool’s work against Watford

Jurgen Klopp was pretty satisfied with his team’s work in the Premiership this weekend as they stream-rolled over Watford to further strengthen their position at no. 2 in the standings. The Reds are just a couple of points behind the table leaders Manchester City who have got 35 points in 13 matches.

According to Klopp, what stood out for him in his team’s performance against Watford was how clinical a performance that was. In the past, there have been many occasions where the Reds have started brilliantly, have a brilliant 30-40 minutes, take a lead and then get a bit complacent and let the guard down and allow the other team to make a comeback through a leveler or a couple of goals. That’s something which was very frustrating from a manager’s perspective.

Brendan Rodgers Reveals the Tough Nature of the Liverpool Job

Manager Brendan Rodgers has claimed that he was delighted to take a break after being sacked by Liverpool midway through 2015.

He was able to lead the club to within two points of the Premier league title only in the 2014 season. However, he was out of the job just 17 months later. Brendan Rodgers left Liverpool and then spent time off the game before returning with Celtic in the summer of 2016. Since his return, he has been able to reveal his stock within the game after managing to achieve some incredible success with Celtic.

The northern Irishman decided to take the break as it was too draining to be in charge of Liverpool. As one of the top clubs in England, there is a huge amount of attention on Liverpool and it appears to have been one of the primary reasons behind Rodgers drained by the job. At Celtic, Rodgers has had a much easier time after he won the title in relative comfort. The biggest challenge for the manager would be to go further in the Champions League than the group stages of the competition. Celtic are no longer considered as one of the top dogs in European football but Rodgers has done a stellar job to revive the club’s form in Europe. (more…)
