Jürgen Klopp’s Crystal Palace pre-match press conference

Liverpool boss Jürgen Klopp held a pre-match press conference today to discuss our next game against Crystal Palace.

Here are the main points from it that should be of interest to you:

Klopp: “I like being here but I don’t want to bother people with my presence if we’re not successful. It would be a big honour to stay here for long time. If it’s a long period here then it will have been successful”
On reported interest in Joe Hart, Klopp: “Usually we don’t talk about things like this. He’s a fantastic goalkeeper but we have highest quality goalkeepers. We have a goalkeeper playing a brilliant season at Huddersfield Town. There is competition here already. Not at the moment and not in the future.”
Klopp not looking to recruit a goalkeeper in the summer.
Klopp on Lallana: “Adam is in a good way working with the rehab coach. He should be back in full training next week. Wednesday or Thursday.”
Danny Ings has started running again but is not close to a return.
Lucas and Matip have both taken knocks this week. Those two along with Klavan not training at present due to muscle problems.
Henderson situation “not cool”. He can’t really train at the moment.
Origi still young. Looking great in training at Melwood.
Klopp on Sakho: “Mama is a very good defender. He is a strong boy with good tackles and blocks. Having him not involved isn’t the best news for Crystal Palace.”
Klopp on Benteke: “When balls are in the air he’s the main threat. He has confidence and is on a good run.”
Klopp: “Joe Gomez could be an option to play at centre-back on Sunday as I’m looking for solutions.”

The press conference will be available to watch in full on the KopTalk Members‘ website shortly.
