Liverpool boss Klopp delighted with Jones, Jota ahead of Porto trip

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp was pleased with Curtis Jones' performance in their 3-3 draw at Brentford.

The Reds go to Porto in the Champions League tomorrow night.

Klopp said, "Last game was a good example, that's how Curtis has to play.

"Defensively he was really good, he won important balls and offensively he was pretty much involved in everything and scored a wonderful goal.

"He can do the same with his left foot, which makes him pretty special.

"In midfield it's a rare moment they're all fit and I have to make a few decisions."

He also said of Diogo Jota: "Exceptional player, really happy that we signed him.

"He is a really strong personality, even for his young age he is a really mature man so that makes it really enjoyable to work with him.

"It's not easy to improve us but Diogo did that, definitely.

"He scores important goals, he's actually a player made for our style.

"Really intense, really fast, technically good, good in the air, both feet really good so he is a very interesting packing and I'm really happy that we saw that."
