"As we gain our fitness throughout the games I think it's clear you see the tactical development being introduced into the team," said the Liverpool boss after the 2-0 victory.
"I thought our possession of the ball was very good tonight, we kept the ball and kept it moving, and then when we had to defend I thought we were really aggressive in our pressure and intensity, so overall I thought we had maturity in our game.
"We had a lot of young players playing and they did very well so it was an excellent win for us."
