Watch Jurgen Klopp on Liverpool’s 2-1 win at Leicester City in full

Jurgen Klopp was pleased with his side’s continued perfect start to the season, but there were clear flaws on Saturday despite their 2-1 win at Leicester City.

The Reds made it tough for themselves at the King Power, almost squandering a two-goal lead after Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino put Leicester to the sword in the first half.

An attempt at overplaying from Alisson led to Rachid Ghezzal scoring just after the hour mark, with Liverpool required to hold on as the Foxes looked the better of the two sides.

But as the final whistle blew, Klopp could relish his side maintaining their position at the top of the Premier League with four wins from their first four games.

“Result-wise it could not have been better, of course; performance-wise, we know that we can improve,” he told reporters after the game.

“We really know that we could have already done better, because again the start today showed how good we can be.

“But it’s still early in the season, so we’re not 100 percent stable in these situations, to do the right things constantly.”

The manager took exception to the condition of the pitch at the King Power, suggesting his side could have adapted their approach to counter the dry surface.

And he also gave his take on Alisson‘s error, insisting that “it needs to happen so it will not happen again,” while bizarrely he was asked about Jose Mourinho after a win at Leicester.

Liverpool are next in action on September 15, when they head to Wembley to take on Tottenham after the September international break.

With Spurs similarly impressive in the opening weeks of the season, the Reds will be required to retain their winning mentality if they are to fend off one of their title rivals.
