Klopp - Reds can still get to Wembley

Last updated : 18 February 2023 By LFC Online

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp admits that his side were poor in their 1-0 League Cup semi-final defeat at Southampton on Wednesday night, but believes they can bounce back in the second leg.

"It could and should have been 2-0, 3-0," he said after the game at St Mary's, in which Nathan Redmond gave the home side a one-goal advantage going into the second leg at Anfield in two weeks time.

"The best thing for us is the result. We know that we can play better at Anfield, nothing is decided.

"We cannot be happy with the performance, Southampton cannot be happy with the result. I can't remember a clear chance for us.

"We gave the ball away so easily and we needed Loris Karius to save our lives two or three times.

"We will strike back, we will be a different team, a different side, everything will be different at Anfield. It's still possible to go to Wembley, and that's the target."
