Jurgen Klopp has joked he’s looking forward to reading newspapers again after Liverpool returned to winning ways against Rangers on Tuesday night.
Having been held to a 3-3 draw by Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday as their disappointing start to the season continued, an early Trent Alexander-Arnold free-kick settled nerves against the Scottish giants before a Mohamed Salah penalty sealed all three points.
The Reds could have easily won by more only to be repeatedly denied by Rangers goalkeeper Alan McGregor, with Darwin Nunez in particular left frustrated in front of goal. Yet Klopp insisted he felt no frustration at the scoreline himself and was just pleased to see a much-improved performance from his side.

“No frustration at all. I really didn’t want to sit here and talk about a 4-0,” he told reporters after the game. “The free-kick from Trent was outstanding. Set-piece goals are my favourite goals because you don’t have to wait for VAR, you can just celebrate them. I liked the game a lot.
“I can’t wait for the moment when I can read newspapers again! I haven’t read them for weeks. I don’t know what’s happening in the world to be honest. I know the big news and the bad news, but I have no clue.
“The criticism is completely fine. We are not over the moon about our situation. We played some really good games, it’s not like 10 years ago. It’s not too long ago and Champions League nights at Liverpool are always quite enjoyable, usually.
“That’s what happened again tonight. I saw tonight a team fully committed and that’s what I liked a lot and that’s what we have to do. Three points, let’s keep going.”
