​Liverpool boss Klopp excited to unleash attacking quartet

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is prepared to unleash the attacking quartet of Sadio Mane, Philippe Coutinho, Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah in the Champions League game against Spartak Moscow.

The midweek fixture in Russia would be the first time Klopp would have all four of his attacking stars at his disposal this season, and he is excited about the prospect.

"Now I am excited. We have all of the boys here. We trained this morning, only a little bit, and hopefully we can train tomorrow," he said after arriving in Russia.

"It is good to have them all, it is cool. It feels good, but that doesn't mean anything. I don't believe in names. I believe in performances.

"They all have to fit together and that is what we have to try. It should be possible of course.

"The balance has to be right. We are an offensive-orientated team, but this is about Champions League football. We need results.

"In the right moments, you need to be able to do the right things. It is not about being spectacular, it is about being good, and being clinical and having perfect timing and perfect protection.

"We cannot just bring all the artists, but if it fits together we will do it."
