Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has said on Premier League Productions that he was not happy to see Alisson makes saves against Southampton.

The Reds eased past Southampton 4-0 at Anfield in the Premier League on Saturday.

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson made three good saves.

The Brazil international, who earns £150,000 per week (Spotrac), denied Armando Broja and Armstrong and made another late stop.

Klopp’s verdict on Alisson saves

Klopp said on Premier League Productions: “We can do much better, we have to do much better because Ali’s saves were too spectacular actually.

“Okay, it’s nice to save a few balls, that’s completely normal, but they should not be alone in front of his goal. That makes no sense, so we have to improve.”

Demanding more

A lot of mangers would be happy with a 4-0 win.

Klopp is happy as well, but the Liverpool manager wants more.

Which is why he is not pleased that Alisson was forced into action.

Despite keeping a clean sheet.

In our view, this shows how demanding Klopp is and what he wants from his Liverpool players.

Klopp wants Liverpool to be perfect.

Now, that is not always possible, but there is always room for improvement.

Remember, Southampton are not a particular great team.

Liverpool will face much sterner tests in the Premier League and in the Champions League.

However, for now, Liverpool players and fans should be pleased that they hammered Southampton and kept a clean sheet.
