When asked if the 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest ranks among Liverpool’s biggest wins of the 2023/24 season, Jurgen Klopp replied: “The last one always feels the best. It's up there with all the others.
”We have only 63 points because we won the other games as well; I don't know exactly when that was and how, but they are all super-important.
“But today it was Aston Villa-like [in 2019], where we had to turn it around and Robbo [Andy Robertson] scored... I think Robbo could have scored in the first half and maybe should have, I don't know. So, we had moments in the first half as well, bit by bit they come up again. We had chances.
“Always, again, when we play football we are a really good football team. We didn't play often enough proper football today, too much in a rush, but can I understand that? Yes, I do. Do I like it? No. But it's true as well.”
The game that Klopp refers to here is the 2-1 win that Liverpool picked up over Aston Villa in the Premier League winning 2019/20 season, where Sadio Mane scored a dramatic late winner after Andy Robertson had equalized.
That win proved to be vital in the long-run and gave the squad the confidence needed to secure the title. Klopp will hope that this one against Forest does the same, with the Reds maintaining their lead on top of the Premier League table.
