“I went to the dressing room and I spoke to the manager.
“He said that it isn’t about playing good but the most important thing is to find a way of winning points.
“The big teams always find a way to get the points.
“Today we didn’t play the top of our game but we won the game that is the most important thing – that is a big team,” Salah told Sky Sports.
When Jurgen Klopp spoke to Sky Sports, he said:
“The crowd was outstanding, incredible atmosphere. They were really here to push us and at the end it helped.
“It’s a big change, a big improvement. We have to get used to the situation, it’s all good. It is only positive. I said to the lads there are 500 ways to win a football game and today was slightly ugly. Who cares in the end? Who cares? That’s the situation.
“I was not happy that we concede a goal but maybe we needed it. First half we had chances but second half we could not relax, a little bit too late here. They changed from five to four, and we tried to changed the system as well.”
