“Chances...no team was going to dominate the game for long spells because there is so much quality on both sides.
“Liverpool struggled to get going, but they showed their character in the second half.
“They were out early. Klopp obviously had a go at them at half-time and said, ‘listen, you better start showing your true colours’.
