Jurgen Klopp saluted the selfless contribution of Daniel Sturridge as he urged his Liverpool side to “stay greedy” ahead of Friday night’s clash with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

The German coach was delighted with the Reds’ attacking display in last weekend’s 4-1 rout of champions Leicester City and after analysing the footage he singled out Sturridge for special praise.

The England international didn’t score but worked tirelessly for the team on his return to the starting line up.

Sturridge produced a stunning assist for Sadio Mane to score the second and Klopp was impressed by the frontman’s movement which created chances for others.

Asked how Liverpool go about maintaining the standards they set against Leicester, Klopp said: “Staying greedy. The movements were brilliant.

“Daniel was involved in three or four goals. For the first one, it was a brilliant run.

“Roberto (Firmino) can make exactly the same run but if Daniel hadn’t made that run he wouldn’t have been free. Being that flexible is the key for all games.

“We had other times when Leicester had six or seven players around the box and we still found a solution. That’s what you have to create.

“All games are different. Leicester give you a lot of questions and their counter-attacking game is outstanding. You need to be even quicker in your mind than with your legs

“They defend really deep and try to disturb your build up. It was important we found the situations we found.”

Despite Liverpool’s commanding victory, Klopp insists there has been plenty to work on ahead of Friday’s showdown in the capital.

Klopp says they can’t afford to repeat the kind of mistakes which Leicester failed to punish.

“We had 10 minutes where we made the wrong decisions,” he added.

“I only speak about this now because it will be very important against Chelsea.

“We didn’t defend their No 6 as well as we did before. Our positioning was wrong.

“There were a lot of things we could have done better. Not to score more goals but to feel more secure in all situations. That’s the challenge for us.

“It’s about timing – doings the right thing in the right moment.”
