Klopp recognized the team’s need for assistance, which arrived in the form of a tactical system adjustment.

Jurgen Klopp described Liverpool’s comeback against Wolves last night as a tale of “two entirely different halves.” The Reds ultimately emerged with a 3-1 victory after a shaky start, conceding an early goal and delivering a lackluster first-half performance.

“Wolves put on an outstanding first half, while we had a rather poor one,” Klopp admitted. “In the second half, we displayed a much-improved performance, controlled the game, and gradually found the net. It took us some time to score the second goal, but we remained composed throughout. We didn’t rush things or play aimless passes; instead, we focused on playing through the lines. So, a 3-1 result wasn’t what I expected after the initial 20 minutes, and perhaps not even at halftime. However, in the second half, we earned the outcome we wanted, and that’s satisfying.”

Klopp acknowledged the necessity of making changes after his team’s lackluster first-half display.

“I’ve been working with these players for some time now, some of them for several weeks, others for a longer period—I know when they can perform at their best,” he explained. “Today, in many instances, they couldn’t do that. It was evident with Macca and other players; they didn’t have the energy today.”

In the early stages of the second half, Klopp introduced substitutions – Darwin Nunez, Harvey Elliott, and Luis Diaz – who injected vitality and improved control into the game.

“I’ve learned over time that if you can survive the first half with a reasonable result, without being significantly behind, you can turn things around,” he added. “But the team required assistance, and fortunately, we were able to provide that assistance through tactical adjustments and changes in our approach.”
