Liverpool 2-1 Leicester City: 5 talking points

Klopp would have been pleased with his team's response after going behind early on

#1 Liverpool learning to win the hard way

Liverpool won a home game they were trailing at half-time for the first time since May 11, 2014

Last season, when Claude Puel was in charge of Southampton, Liverpool failed to beat his side in four games across all competitions and also failed to score in any of those games. Klopp has finally got the better of his nemesis.

Liverpool often struggled to break down teams that defend deep but slowly and steadily they are getting better at it. Although they have dropped points occasionally by drawing games, the Reds are now undefeated in 15 games across all competitions of which 12 are in the Premier League.

With the arrival of Van Dijk, Klopp will be hoping that his team can shore up the defence and see out games like they did at Leicester today. Klopp made defensive substitutions once his team was in the lead by taking off Salah for Wijnaldum and Coutinho for Klavan.

The German’s rotation policy also seems to be working as the players look fresh and up to the task in every game they play.
