Klopp offers apology to Curtis Jones
Speaking after the game, Klopp said:
“Curtis is super, super, super important to us and he knows that. “
"Coincidentally, I heard his interview and the only thing to break through was ‘I need more game time’. I love that! So sorry Curtis that I didn’t give you more game time earlier.
“He has made big steps. He looked like the fittest player on the whole pitch. He got a knock, I think a dead leg, he went down, but then a second later he turned around and scored.”
