Jürgen Klopp has said that he thinks Liverpool have moved on from losing 2-0 to Burnley by breezing past Burton Albion in the EFL Cup on Tuesday evening.
There were signs that Liverpool used what happened at Turf Moor to run riot at Burton Albion. Admittedly, there is little comparison between Burnley and Burton but there was more penetration to Liverpool’s game and Klopp felt this was visible.
He told reporters after the game, “When I saw the [Burnley] game again, there were a few situations where we missed a little sharpness. But the main problem was that with one more pass we were 15 times completely free in the box.
“In the game, we didn’t see it, so we needed to use this. That’s what we did today and it was better.
“We were there, where we had to be. We were on the line, we had possession [around] the box and bodies in the box. The first two goals were like this – one was a transition, the other one after a second ball. So, it was all good.

“[Because of our performance] in the end, it was not as difficult as we could have imagined or expected it to be. I think it was the most difficult draw [in the second round].
“It was possible an [upset] could have [happened], so we were really serious. We were very professional and we did our job, so it was good.”
He added: “In the end we have to make decisions but the job I have to do is to find the right [ones] to make the right solutions.
“The job the players have to do is to be in the best shape they can be in. So it’s clear what both sides have to do and in the end hopefully they are difficult decisions [for me to make].”
Liverpool will face Derby County in the next round after the draw was done last night.
