More questions than answers for Jurgen Klopp after Rangers win says Didi Hamann

Didi Hamann believe's Tuesday's 2-0 win over Rangers poses more questions than answers for Jurgen Klopp.

Liverpool were in desperate need of a win following a so-so start to the season. The Reds find themselves in 9th position in the Premier League table, and are already a whopping 11 points adrift of pace-setters Arsenal. Klopp's men managed to get themselves back on track tonight though, with Trent Alexander-Arnold and Mo Salah providing the goals in a 2-0 win.

Roared on by the Anfield crowd, Liverpool bossed proceedings against their Scottish opponents and racked up nearly two dozen shots on goal during the 90 minutes. But the chances Rangers created towards the end of the game, coupled with Liverpool's struggle to score more goals past their overmatched opponents, has Hamann pondering some questions.

"I don't think we got too many answers tonight," said the German while appearing on RTE on Tuesday evening.

"There was just too big a gulf in class between the two teams. Liverpool were well on top and very professional in the first half but didn't make their chances count.

"Second half they got that second goal to ease the nerves. But in the last 10/15 minutes they got a bit sloppy again and you know there's bigger tests to come."

Despite the convincing win, Hamann believes we'll know a lot more about the team when they travel to Rangers and Arsenal in the coming days.

"I think the game at Ibrox next week will be a different proposition. And also, in years gone by, that Liverpool team of 2/3 years ago would have put four, five or six past Rangers because it was certainly possible.

"It will be a different game next week because in the last 15 minutes they brought a few players in and they all made a difference. They'll be going home tonight thinking we've got a chance to maybe get something out of the game next week.

"I think it was in a way an opportunity missed to put a statement down and maybe make the game next week a little bit easier."
