According to the German manager, his side needed to prove a point to themselves after a short pre-season with mixed results; good performances and less good performances, completely normal for a pre-season, having a peak so early in the season and playing really well [against City] and then going down for some reason.

Klopp's words

"We are not happy with the way we played; we had good moments in almost every game. We showed things we are strong in and things we have to improve on, and that's what we had to do today, but you can't make a list and take them all away step by step," he said.

"You just have to give the right direction to the game and that's why I was so pleased with the start today. We didn't hesitate, we didn't hold anything back, we just got into the game, put them under pressure, had the battles in the right areas of the box, around the box, bodies in the box, second ball situations, go again, and that sort of thing," he added.
