Jurgen Klopp: I like the problems Liverpool has, especially when we win

Jürgen Klopp was pleased by Liverpool's competitive levels after his squad claimed the FA Community Shield on Saturday evening.

"We were today - both teams - not at 100 per cent of their physical, usual situation, if you want. But in the first few games [of pre-season] we were not even close to the fitness level of today.

Probably one of the highlights of the game, as good as we were, was the impact from the bench - [it] was really exceptional. Everybody who came on was immediately in the game - very, very, very helpful. A top sign. It was a good game, a good start from us, then City took over [for a] while, which cost us really because we really had to run a lot. Then we could come back into the game; we had then possession and City had to run a lot and then we could finish the game with nice goals. I think it was a good watch, the whole game. Both teams used what was available today; that's what we could have expected and that's what happened.

We are that early [in the season], I like the problems we have in a game, especially when you win. I really like the problems because you have to work on that. I know we have to work. We said it before, we have to extend our pre-season at least for two more weeks. There's no other chance. We cannot just now go in the normal rhythm, play games at the weekend that we are not prepared for. Then three games a week which we will have from, I don't know exactly, from three or four weeks. So, it was for me a really nice watch. It is the most difficult opponent you could get. They don't get worse, or whatever, they just strengthen and improve and develop and you see the squad, the boys they could bring on".
