Liverpool news: Jurgen Klopp's half-time dressing room advice as Luis Diaz sends message

Liverpool started slowly against Norwich City on Saturday but turned things around to pick up all three points.

Jurgen Klopp's side came out of the half-time break sluggish and found themselves a goal behind before Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz found the back of the net and secured a 3-1 win at Anfield.

Klopp has since said that his message to the team during the interval was to keep going, though the early setback forced his hand in order to turn the Premier League tie around.

One decision that did pay off was the choice to start transfer deadline day signing Diaz, who has since responded to fans on social media after opening his Anfield account.

And the manager has also explained why he didn't start Trent Alexander-Arnold in the win.

Klopp said he showed his players a clip of what they did right and told them to do it more often in the second half.

"But half-time, it was not that we said we had to change this, this and this," Klopp told the club's website.

As to be expected, supporters have shown their support for the 25-year-old who has responded with a message on social media.

He said on Instagram: "Very happy to score my first goal at my new home."

After a tough UEFA Champions League tie midweek against Inter, Klopp made a number of changes to the starting 11.

And the German coach has explained his decision to leave the 23-year-old out of the squad.
