Liverpool next game: When do Liverpool play after the international break?

He added: “Obviously a little surprise for the opponent the different system. We won balls, broke through and had counter-attacking moments – so many – but we didn’t finish it off.

“That is a little bit of a shame. It was a tough decision to change the system before we play City just because, if we lose, the boys might think it wouldn’t have happened in the other system.

“But the boys are ready to listen, adapt and perform, so I am really happy.

“In a lot of moments we could have created bigger chances, it was really good football so I am completely fine.”
