Klopp happy with Liverpool win: An old dog is learning new tricks!

Jurgen Klopp is happy Liverpool are learning to win in a different manner.

The Reds notched up their sixth clean sheet of the season with a 1-0 win over Huddersfield Town at John Smith's Stadium on Saturday.

Klopp's men were far from their best but the German is pleased that they can now win without being dominant in attack.

"We were 1-0 up and then we defended in a different space," said Klopp.

"Last year our big strength was high pressing and then when there were moments when they didn't play football, it was like 'sorry'.

"It's like a dog – if you don't give him his favourite toy and you throw something else he thinks: 'No, I don't want that, I want the other one, I want to play high press.'

"That's how you develop, step by step, doing different things. Now we have to be better in the midfield press. Against Huddersfield our midfield press wasn't our problem.

"Our problem was only when we had the ball, we could have done better."
