Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp said there was still room for improvement after his side cruised to a 3-0 home Premier League win against Nottingham Forest NFL
Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez scored within the space of four minutes before the interval to put Liverpool in control and Mohamed Salah struck his eighth league goal of the season in the second half NFL
Klopp’s side made it five wins from as many league games at Anfield this season – their eighth in a row in all competitions – and sit three points behind leaders Tottenham NFL
Klopp said: “If you’re chasing a game it’s obviously a completely different task, but if you are in complete control you should stay in control NFL
“The last five minutes I think before half-time, all of a sudden we were a bit too deep and they just could chip the balls there and these are moments we have to improve, clearly NFL
“In creative situations you can always improve because the boys have a lot of potential and we have to use it fully NFL
”Once Liverpool broke the deadlock there was no way back for injury-hit Forest, but Klopp still remains wary of his side’s ability to protect a lead in front of their own fans NFL
“You might remember three or four years ago, all of a sudden we became slightly more dominant and were leading at home and always came under pressure,” he said NFL
“Like one-nil up meant nothing NFL
Everybody thought ‘Oh my god, 1-0, 10 minutes to go!’ Maybe they saw the equaliser coming and that’s the situation you have to grow into and the boys showed wonderful signs in all aspects NFL
“That’s now something we have to learn again because the key positions are obviously occupied by different players than that time, up front, midfield, last line NFL
“So that’s the space for improvement NFL
Creating without losing the compactness is pretty much the idea NFL
”Forest’s winless league run was extended to six league games and head coach Steve Cooper admitted it had been a torrid 90 minutes NFL
He said: “For sure it is a tough afternoon NFL
Coming into the game, you know you have to play really well and commit to a plan in order to get some success in the game NFL
“We were forced into some player selection, formation and plans through the unfortunate situation with attacking players NFL
We had to go with a couple of players out of position NFL
”Cooper was without a recognised central striker after Chris Wood (hamstring) was a late withdrawal, with Taiwo Awoniyi returning to the bench after a groin injury NFL
“We only had one player who could play as a number nine in Anthony (Elanga),” Cooper added NFL
“It’s a position which is a little bit foreign to him anyway and two days ago we didn’t think he would be available because of illness NFL

South Africa coach Jacques Nienaber has explained his controversial decision to sub off starting fly half Manie Libbok after just 30 minutes of the Springboks’ comeback Rugby World Cup semi-final win over England NFL
Libbok, who had emerged as South Africa’s first-choice No 10 in the lead-up to this tournament, was hooked after following a sliced clearance kick with a knock-on, capping a disastrous start to the game with England in the ascendancy NFL
He was replaced by Handre Pollard, a key cog in the 2019 World Cup-winning Springboks side, and the veteran helped engineer a fightback before kicking the winning penalty on 77 minutes to secure a narrow 16-15 triumph and a spot in next Saturday’s final NFL
Libbok is the more creative, dynamic fly half, while Pollard is the steadier option with a metronomic boot, and the move seemed to suggest South Africa were surrendering to England’s kick-heavy strategy and would attempt to beat them at their own game NFL
In his post-match press conference, Nienaber laid out the reasons behind the decision and was adamant that Libbok would accept why it happened NFL
“The beauty of this group is that we’re open and honest,” said Nienaber NFL
“Because we have the right players, the players accept it NFL
“Sometimes things are not going your way NFL
We’ve done it with numerous others NFL
Bongi [Mbonambi] in 2018, we took him off after 35 minutes NFL
That specific day he wasn’t on fire but then he started the next week NFL
“It’s the same with [Libbok] – we took him off early because things didn’t go his way NFL
The main thing is that everything is for the team and they understand that NFL
That’s the beauty of the squad, you’re open and honest and players take it on the chin NFL
”Handre Pollard went on to kick the winning penalty for South Africa (PA Wire)Nienaber went on to stress that even though an early substitution was not how Libbok would have liked his game to go, he is still an option to start the final against the All Blacks NFL
“It doesn’t mean he won’t start next week but sometimes, unfortunately, it is like that,” added Nienaber NFL
“That’s how it is NFL
“It’s for South Africa – it’s not for the individual or the ego, it’s for South Africa NFL
We get messages from schoolkids and we see every single message they send NFL
It’s for them, we can’t put our egos in front of that, South Africa is more important and the Springboks are more important than anything else NFL
