NEWCASTLE, England (Reuters) - Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp hailed his squad's depth after they clinched a 1-0 win at Newcastle United on Saturday to provisionally go top of the Premier League table despite the German making five changes to his starting line-up.
Klopp left out Mohamed Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ibrahima Konate, Thiago Alcantara and Fabinho from the side that took the field against Villarreal in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final on Wednesday.
Asked about his side's ability to perform despite the rotation, Klopp told reporters:"It's cool, eh? Yeah, that's the only reason why we are where we are. That's the only reason -- the boys buy completely into the situation. Liverpool, who have already won the League Cup and meet Chelsea in the FA Cup final on May 14, are chasing an unprecedented quadruple of trophies this season.
"Outstanding. Millie is incredibly important for us... because people think if you talk about the dressing room -- he's very helpful there, especially with a manager who is not a native speaker. But on the pitch as well, he played a super game."
