Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool won against Manchester United at Anfield on Sunday.
Fellaini did not start for United in their Premier League game against Liverpool away from home at Anfield on Sunday evening.
The 31-year-old midfielder came on as a substitute at the start of the second half, as Jose Mourinho’s side went down 3-1.
Liverpool were the better team over the course of the 90 minutes and deservedly picked up all three points from the encounter.
Klopp, though, has suggested that the introduction of Fellaini did cause his worries.
“I had no problem with the half-time whistle, honestly, and then we could adjust a few things,” Klopp told Liverpool’s official. “It was not that I thought then that United were manning the game or whatever, but it was just a bit more open.
“Then they changed and when Fellaini is on the pitch it is never a good sign for the other team, to be honest, because these balls are really difficult to defend. But we did even that really well tonight.”
Title challenge
The way Liverpool performed against United, especially in the second half, showed that they mean business in the Premier League this season.
The Merseyside outfit are at the top of the league table at the moment, and are yet to be beaten in the English top flight this season.
Manchester City, though, are just a point behind Liverpool and have the strongest squad in England.
