Here is what he had to say via BBC:

“It is mixed emotions, we lost players which we don’t know how serious it is. It doesn’t look great for either of them.”

“But what the boys did after 15 minutes was exceptional against a team set up to annoy you. Eighteen times a set piece is flying into your box, you need bodies and luck in a moment and a goalie as well, who played an incredible game.”

GGWP, Liverpool!

One aspect of Liverpool’s performance that Klopp particularly praised was their defensive solidity, especially in the face of Brentford’s relentless attacking threat. With the opposition delivering numerous crosses and set pieces into the box, Klopp highlighted the importance of defensive organization and discipline. The Liverpool players showed a willingness to put their bodies on the line, making crucial blocks and interventions to thwart Brentford’s advances.

Central to Liverpool’s defensive resilience was the outstanding performance of goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher, who earned special praise from Klopp for his heroic efforts between the posts. Kelleher’s commanding presence and exceptional shot-stopping abilities played a crucial role in Liverpool’s victory, with Klopp acknowledging the goalkeeper’s vital contributions to the team’s success.

Despite facing adversity in the form of multiple injuries very early on in the game, Liverpool’s players remained unfazed, demonstrating their commitment to securing a positive result.
