Jurgen Klopp fires major warning to Liverpool stars before West Ham clash
Liverpool boss Klopp heaps praise on West Ham's Moyes ahead of match
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has fired a warning to the fans and players that his side are “not stable” and “far away from perfect” ahead of their upcoming Premier League clash with West Ham on Sunday. The Reds came back from 1-0 down to defeat LASK in the Europa League on Thursday and face a short turnaround before taking on David Moyes’ outfit.
Speaking ahead of the match, Klopp insisted that Liverpool are far away from being complete in their rebuild and urged caution of looking too far ahead despite a positive start to the season.
“We decided last year already that we have to change a lot – but that we want to change it for good and not because we have to,” Klopp said.
“Yeah, I’m really excited about that and still am. That’s it. We are really not there, we are not stable yet, so many things not – but we are a lot of things already. A lot of exciting moments in the games and I think that’s a good start, not more. But as a start, it’s absolutely OK.”

Klopp further admitted that he was not fully sure of where Liverpool lie in terms of their redevelopment, having overhauled their midfield as the likes of Jordan Henderson and Fabinho were replaced by Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, Wataru Endo and Ryan Gravenberch.
Klopp made a host of changes for the trip to LASK but found his side trailing once again for the third game in a row, but once again they were able to mount a comeback and an improved second-half performance saw them through to a comfortable victory – but the German boss will be wary of the team continuing to concede the opening goal in games.

“I don’t know,” Klopp replied when asked where he currently sees the team. “I don’t know where we are exactly because we showed these kind of different phases. But obviously the things we went through now already in this season, that’s usually enough for a whole season if you have done these things after 38 games, and we have it after five – twice red card, 10 men, turning games and these things.
“And now [we] did it again, played a really bad half and a very good half and turned it around again [against Wolves]. Again, it’s not what you plan, it’s not what you want. But when you have it, you have to go through it and that’s what we did.
“So, it shows just the boys already together in a manner and in an extent we probably didn’t expect that early. That’s it. I cannot make any kind of estimate at all how it will look in the next four or five weeks. The only thing what I can do is work extremely hard to make it as positive as somehow possible.”
