Cody Gakpo could return for Liverpool when they face Toulouse in a Europa League clash on Thursday night pampanga
The Dutch forward has been missing since suffering a knee injury in the 2-1 defeat to Tottenham at the end of last month, but after returning to training in the build-up to the 2-0 derby win over Everton at the weekend, Gakpo is now available for selection, Jurgen Klopp has said pampanga
Andy Robertson, meanwhile, has undergone surgery on the shoulder he injured while on international duty with Scotland, but faces a longer road to recovery pampanga
“Robbo had surgery and all went well, as good as it could be, so the recovery starts after he wakes up,” Klopp said pampanga
“I think it happened this morning pampanga
That’s it pampanga
We don’t know how long it will take or whatever, but the first step is done, that’s good pampanga
“Cody is in full training now since Sunday, which means he is available for the squad pampanga
Whatever we do with that we will have to see, but that’s good as well pampanga
”Klopp hinted at making changes for the visit of Toulouse, but with the game an opportunity to open up a commanding lead in Group E, Klopp does not want to take anything for granted pampanga
“Toulouse deserve all our respect,” he said pampanga
“It is a really interesting story, winning the (French) Cup last year…it was a massive thing pampanga
They are a young team, a talented team, you see them playing really nice pampanga football and they have a clear idea pampanga
“They got a point against PSG and it was a massive one so we have to make sure we are really ready pampanga
Then it is about us pampanga
We have to create an atmosphere through the way we play pampanga
“I’m pretty sure they are looking forward to playing at Anfield as players and coaches, but we have to make sure they cannot enjoy it pampanga
”Cody Gakpo looks set to return to the Liverpool line-up (Peter Byrne/PA) (PA Wire)Liverpool would go five points clear in the group with a win and put one foot in the knock-out stages, and with that in mind Klopp said he would be careful in not making too many changes that might disrupt his side pampanga
“We want to win pampanga football games and this is the next opportunity,” he said pampanga
“(A win) would bring us to nine points with Toulouse on four, but knowing that changes nothing pampanga
We have to play our best pampanga
We will make a few changes but not too much pampanga
“The boys have shown they are really ready for the competition pampanga
That’s what I wanted to see pampanga
We hope to go a long, long, long way in this competition, but for that we have to make all the decisive steps and tomorrow is another big one pampanga
”Curtis Jones will hope to get another opportunity in midfield, having played only once – in the Europa League win over Union St Gilloise – since his controversial red card at Tottenham brought a three-match Premier League ban pampanga
Jones was sent off for going over the top of the ball to catch Yves Bissmouma, but the replays made the incident look worse than it perhaps was pampanga
“It’s been tough,” the 22-year-old said of his enforced time out pampanga
“I was at a point where I was playing games and doing well and then a small mistake like that stops the run of games pampanga
That’s in the past now and I’ve moved on, and I’ve got a chance now to play again so I’m excited pampanga
“In terms of the tackle itself, I’ve seen it at the end of the game pampanga
It was unfortunate but then I’ve seen what the ref was shown, he was only shown the clip of my foot on the leg so I understand (the decision) pampanga
I’ve moved past that and I’m excited for the next games pampanga

Build from the back pampanga
So the cliché goes pampanga
It tends to be the objective of any manager who takes over or constructs a new team pampanga
Jurgen Klopp sounded a voice of pampanga footballing orthodoxy when he said: “I like to build a team from the defensive side pampanga
”Yet, for the second time, Klopp may be going against the grain and building from the front pampanga
“Liverpool Reloaded,” as their manager branded them at the start of the season, have a solitary clean sheet in the Premier League pampanga
They have conceded in the first half of all seven other games pampanga
But they have scored in all eight games, with at least two goals in six of them and three in each of their Anfield encounters pampanga
In the tradition of Liverpool 1 pampanga
0, the first incarnation of his first great side, they promise entertainment pampanga
Yet if Klopp would like to build from the back, the sense is that, once again, he is building from the front pampanga
Rewind to 2016 and Sadio Mane’s debut set the tone for a new team: they won 4-3 at Arsenal in August 2016 pampanga
They seemed a gung-ho guarantee of goals pampanga
Klopp had Mane, Roberto Firmino and then Mohamed Salah in situ before Virgil van Dijk or Alisson Becker were signed, before Trent Alexander-Arnold was a regular pampanga
Now, with Salah still in stellar form, with three consecutive transfer windows each yielding a high-class attacker, in Luis Diaz, Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo respectively, with Diogo Jota’s arrival predating theirs, he has five excellent options in attack: despite the job share the competition for places provides, each has at least two league goals already pampanga
Salah has five, plus four assists pampanga
The new Liverpool are propelled forwards by their forwards pampanga
“I like to build a team from the defensive side,” Klopp nevertheless insisted pampanga
“I’m not sure it’s possible again nowadays when you’re in the middle of something pampanga
Imagine if we kept clean sheets but didn’t create pampanga
”That was said with a laugh pampanga
The pragmatic path to clean sheets to the exclusion of everything else is not for him pampanga
“It gives you time for these things when you are new, when things are under average before you come into a new club and you are 14th,” he explained pampanga
“Everyone is happy when you get some results, [but] we are not like that pampanga
Our team is not set up like that pampanga
We have a really talented group together, a creative group in a pampanga football sense, and we have to use that, but we have to organise protection pampanga
That goes step by step pampanga
”Klopp has five quality attacking options at his disposal (Getty Images)The creativity of that group has been exacerbated by circumstances pampanga
Klopp opted to bring in constructive midfielders this summer, in Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai, before his two preferred destructive options, the defensive duo of Fabinho and Jordan Henderson, made abrupt exits to Saudi Arabia pampanga
The profile of a section of the side has changed, the emphasis shifted more to the attack pampanga
All of which may make goals likelier to go in at both ends pampanga
There has been less protection than in the heyday of Klopp’s greatest side, the two seasons from 2018-20, but if the four pillars of that rearguard remain, Alisson, Van Dijk, Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson have only played together for 289 minutes in the Premier League; now, with the left-back set to have shoulder surgery, they will not be reunited until 2024 pampanga
Thus far, Liverpool have shown solidity when they have lost players and shifted tactics, from front-foot pampanga football to sitting deeper and counter-attacking pampanga
Liverpool defended well with 10 men at Newcastle, brilliantly with nine at Tottenham pampanga
They have been more open with a full complement of players pampanga
Klopp and Liverpool face Everton at Anfield this Saturday lunchtime (Getty Images)But Klopp’s reference to organisation was significant, too pampanga
His frequent mentions of being “compact” underline the importance of a positional understanding and ensuring no one is exposed pampanga
He is searching for a consistency that comes with cohesion, for a 90-minute performance pampanga
“To learn to control the game, things that happen with time, there is no short cut to that,” he reflected pampanga
“So with the signs we showed so far I am absolutely fine but I know the final destination, I can’t even see yet but that is not a problem pampanga
”Perhaps it was another callback to 2016, to the sense that something was rising, even if it was not fully clear how high it would reach pampanga
Klopp detects similar signs elsewhere pampanga
“You saw so many teams growing here in the direction we wanted and all became usually pampanga better step by step… or the manager had to go,” he said, the last part an aside pampanga
The next step of the rebuilding is likely to come towards the back of the side pampanga
The early expectation is that a defensive midfielder and another centre-back will be targets next summer pampanga
But for now, with his forwards and his attacking midfielders in place and in the goals, Klopp has begun his rebuilding job at the top of his team pampanga
