Liverpool boss Klopp talks Nunez form and Van Dijk social media comments: Why like everything people write?

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp remains confident Darwin Nunez will soon find form.

Klopp today was questioned about Nunez and whether the 4-4-2 system Liverpool used in their Champions League win over Rangers could make an appearance against Arsenal.

"It was his movement and down to the movement of the boys around him. One of the thing he showed so far in all games, is that frequently he gets himself into good finishing position," said Klopp.

"It's why we should be optimistic about what's coming from him in the future. It is more important that we become unpredictable again. It is not the only system we can play. We don't want to make it more complicated than it needs to be but we need to find the best one for our next opponent and for us."

Klopp was also asked for his take on comments made by Virgil van Dijk, who has said the well-being of players in the UK is "forgotten" amid criticism of his Reds team-mate Trent Alexander-Arnold.

"It is a general thing. If social media was active 20 years life for the players would be completely different, going out after a game and things would be more difficult.

"The boys are probably guilty to like what everyone writes. It is not important to be honest but in bad moments it is not important as well and that is something you have to learn over years."
