I think I am a good manager for a bad moment

Liverpool sit third place in the Premier League ahead of West Ham's visit to Anfield on Saturday. Impressive recent wins over Porto in the Champions League and Southampton domestically have confidence high among the Reds.

However, Klopp admitted these are the moments that concern him.

He said: "Obviously we are in a good moment. But that is when I am a bit...

"Worried? No, I think I am a good manager for a bad moment, when I have to get them up a little bit, and I think I am an even better manager for a very good moment because I am never satisfied.

"I am in a good mood most of the time, you see that. But I know about the difficulties of specific football games like this one.

"The only people who have to think how we can do the job are the coaches, myself and the players. It is easy to sit back in a good moment and say 'they are flying, they can score from everywhere,' It's not true, it's always hard work.

"It was hard in Porto. They had two really big chances in the first half but no-one thinks about that when you win 5-0."

Liverpool destroyed Porto in Portugal last week, all but sewing up passage into the UCL quarterfinals, and Klopp cited the quality of the challenges to come in Europe's top competition.

"I watched all the games," Klopp said. "I saw pure quality. I knew that Sevilla were still really strong so I wasn't surprised. It was a completely normal game that United played there.
