'Our line-up surprised everybody'published at 17:08 Greenwich Mean Time 2 December 2017
Brighton 1-5 Liverpool
Liverpool
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp speaking to Sky Sports: "Did I enjoy it? Not really, not all the time. At the beginning we needed to be patient with Brighton's style. We needed to get used to it.
"We scored two fantastic goals. It was good to watch. We scored a third which is a good idea in a game like this. A few weeks ago we were lucky with refereeing decisions and we paid it back tonight. Brighton's goal made it a little bit more exciting but in the end we closed the game in a nice way.
On his squad changes: "We had no idea we were going to have to line up like this until yesterday's meeting and I'm pleased for the boys. They were able to adapt.
"Our line up surprised everybody. It's a good moment that we can do things like this. They adapted and did the job.
"We need to adapt with plenty of different systems. That's how it should be."
