Jurgen Klopp praises Joel Matip for 'super performance' vs Michail Antonio

"You saw it this time with the big chance of Antonio, the header he missed. I’m pretty sure if the wind is not there, that is even more dangerous," Jurgen Klopp said after the West Ham win.

"Makes it very often a 50-50 situation in these moments. You have to get the ball down on the ground, keep playing, try again, learn from the game, use the formation as much as you can and then defend with all that you have and that’s what we did.

"Joel Matip with a super performance against Antonio. It's a key moment in the game, they chipped the ball there. I don’t know how often in the past we suffered when we could control the ball.

"Today he had it once or twice and immediately the chaos starts. He did that really well."

Antonio did not have a shot on target. In fact, that header in the first half was his only goal attempt throughout the game.

Matip, indeed, did a great job on the West Ham striker who bravely claimed that West Ham were going to beat Liverpool. Not today, they didn't.
