Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp reveals WTF moments in Reds' win over Wolves

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp expresses surprise at his team's performance in their 3-1 win against Wolves but praises their second-half comeback.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp expressed his surprise and satisfaction with his team's performance in their 3-1 victory over Wolves in the Premier League. The match started off poorly for Liverpool as Wolves took an early lead through Hwang Hee-Chan. However, Klopp's side managed to turn things around in the second half.

After 55 minutes, Mohamed Salah assisted Cody Gakpo for the equalizer, and later on, he set up Andy Robertson for the winning goal. The victory was sealed with an own goal by Hugo Bueno in added time. Despite the comfortable win, Klopp admitted that he was concerned by his team's performance in the first half.

Klopp revealed, "In the first half I thought 'WTF?' a couple of times. We were not ready, but Wolves played really well. Some of our players have been with us for several weeks, while others have been with us for a longer time. Today, they couldn't perform at their best in many moments."

However, Klopp remained confident that they could turn the game around in the second half. He acknowledged the impact of the changes he made, both in terms of substitutions and tactics. He stated, "The same players who looked rusty in the first half, in the second half it looked much easier. Wolves played a super first half, but in the second half, we were really good and controlled the game."

With this win, Liverpool now have 13 points from their first five matches of the season, with four consecutive victories following a draw against Chelsea. Despite their success on the pitch, there are rumors suggesting that Klopp's time at Anfield may be coming to an end, although he has not addressed these speculations directly.

Overall, Klopp was pleased with his team's performance, especially their ability to bounce back and secure the win. Liverpool's strong start to the season puts them in a favorable position in the Premier League standings. However, the future of their manager remains uncertain.
