Klopp praises 'outstanding' Liverpool attitude during Maribor thrashing

Jurgen Klopp was pleased with how Liverpool carried themselves in their 7-0 win over Maribor.

The Reds have struggled to convert their chances in front of goal during this season, but they had no such troubles on Tuesday night.

And Klopp was delighted with how his players' intensity never wavered throughout the ninety minutes.

"Our attitude was outstanding - we were spot on from the first second," Klopp told BT Sport.

"We scored wonderful goals, played wonderful football and it looked like they (Maribor) were not very good but is difficult to play against us. I love the fact we stayed really concentrated in the second half, we controlled the game and it was a very mature performance.

"You can struggle in a game like this if you do not have a 100% attitude, it was very mature. Seven goals was wonderful, but the counter pressing I was close to celebrating it, it was so good. They are a really good football team and they could not cope with this.

"All over it was a really nice performance."
