‘Brave football’ earned young Liverpool side win, says Klopp

Image
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says playing ‘brave football’ was what earned a young and inexperienced Reds side victory in Sunday’s FA Cup meeting with Everton.  Liverpool-born academy product  Curtis Jones scored the winner for the Reds at Anfield , curling a fantastic shot past Jordan Pickford in the 71st minute. Nathaniel Phillips, Neco Williams, Pedro Chirivella and Harvey Elliott also started the third-round tie, while Yasser Larouci and  Rhian Brewster  were also introduced from the bench. With such a youthful team sent out by Klopp, Everton, who opted to go with a full strength line-up, were fancied to claim a first win at Anfield since 1999.

Ref.Liverpoolfc.com Liverpool swooped to sign Southampton captain Adam Lallana shortly after the talented playmaker had returned from the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. The No.20's preparations for the 2014-15 campaign were hampered by an injury that ruled him out until September, although upon his return Lallana was soon displaying his outstanding close control and vision, not least with a sublime first goal past West Bromwich Albion at Anfield. He would make 41 appearances in his first season at the club. A change in manager saw the midfielder's performances rise. He became a firm favourite of  Jürgen Klopp  in the 2015-16 campaign. The England international adapted seamlessly to Klopp's high-pressing style and scored a last-gasp winner in a thrilling 5-4 victory at Norwich City in January 2016. He then netted Liverpool's third goal in a Europa League semi-final with Villarreal to secure a spot in the Basel final. Lallana's trajectory continued to...
