Jurgen Klopp boomed with laughter as he ­delivered good news for his Liverpool players – and his missus.

The Reds boss insisted there is about as much chance of him ditching his wife Ulla Sandrock as there is not giving his new men a chance.

Philippe Coutinho repaid his confidence with two goals and everyone else will be given their opportunity before Klopp thinks about new ­signings next summer.

“I have been here three weeks,” said Klopp. “Everyone tells me: ‘You want to buy this player and this player’.

“But development is to work with the players you have. It’s like if you have a problem with your wife, you don’t want to change every day.”

Coutinho’s first was a ­beautiful finish, paving the way for Liverpool to come from behind to win a match for the first time in 10 months.

The Brazil star’s quality has never been in question, but his form dipped before Klopp’s arrival. Liverpool’s brilliant No.10, however, is ­blossoming.

“I love this player. Who can’t love Phil Coutinho?” said Klopp. “I don’t expect all day perfection. I expect you to work to get better every day.

“That is how we make the next steps. I’m not interested in what happened before.

“I’ve spoken to Phil, but my job is to help him, not to say what he is not doing good.

“He knows the last three games were not perfect, but he needs the games. He needs the experience in games to feel what is good and what is wrong. This is the perfect example. The start was not good, but we came back.”

The Klopp factor clearly can only have so much effect. Liverpool do not have the same quality of players which took Borussia Dortmund to two Bundesliga titles as well as a final in the Champions League. But Klopp is getting better performances out of players. Notably, Coutinho, but also Mamadou Sakho, who was outstanding in defence.

If only Klopp can do the same with Alberto Moreno as the Spain left-back switched off on Ramires’s early opener, before Coutinho’s double and sub Christian Benteke’s late clincher completed a ­remarkable fightback.

And so impressive was ­Liverpool’s win, that it drew questions about whether Klopp could lead them into the top four – which they trail by four points right now.

“I can’t believe that England is so impatient,” added Klopp, as he looked across the tunnel to see ref Mark Clattenburg and his officials leaving.

“They are asking me about the top four,” Klopp said to Clattenburg. The referee immediately replied: “Welcome to England.”

But Klopp said it was way too early to make predictions even if the signs are looking very good for Liverpool.

The German said: “We have to improve ­everything and then we can talk about where we will be in the table but, in November, we cannot talk.”
