Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has talked about the conversation he had with Reds right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold during the club’s 1-0 victory over West Ham United. Sadio Mane’s first-half strike was sufficient to secure all three points as Liverpool continue to chase Manchester City in the race for the Premier League title.
Klopp will have been relieved to see his side see through a 1-0 win against a tricky West Ham side but he did have an issue with one player during the match. He said :
“We could have done better, there was a situation where we had a little word with Trent,”
He continued,
“It was exactly in front of me and we just try to find the gap, but there’s five free players, it was like three and a half minutes into extra-time already so pass the ball there and we keep it. But they had then still after that I’m pretty sure a set-piece or whatever. We have a lot of space for improvement.”
