Klopp says Liverpool deserved winners against Leicester Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says they deserved victory over Leicester City.


First-half substitute Christian Benteke scored the only goal just after the hour to inflict the Premier League leaders' first loss in three months.
"It was deserved," Klopp said. "We played too complicated at Watford last week (losing 3-0). Today we did much better.
"We knew if we stayed concentrated we would get our chances as it was not too intensive in the first half so we could do more in the second half.
"We made this one goal but after all the set-plays of Leicester it was difficult and close and not easy to defend but we did it, we had patience and that is good so we deserved the three points.
"A lot of teams tried it before and it is not too easy so I am really pleased with what we did today."
The only blot on the day was another hamstring injury, this time to striker Divock Origi who was preferred to £32.5million summer signing Benteke from the start.
"Origi did really well. I hope it is not too serious, we will see," said Klopp.
"Hamstring is the s*** word of the year for me. It is always hamstring, hamstring, hamstring - that is the intensity of the game and fixtures.
"Benteke did really well in the last week in training but we decided on this starting line-up because of the things you saw from Divock in the first half-hour - we needed his speed.
"Christian came in, it was not easy the first 10 minutes, and second half it was much better.

"He fought intensively and worked hard for the team and he made his goal. He did perfect in the situation."

To be eloquent is to speak well in a persuasive and deeply thoughtful way. Though it appears to come easily, eloquence does not often come naturally. The most talented speakers often have training in rhetoric and behavioral psychology. Here are 10 great examples of eloquent speakers who have made their mark on the world. 1. Martin Luther King, Jr “I Have a Dream” is perhaps the most powerful speech in American history. In poetic, unequivocal language, he explains how people can live up to their ideals for the sake of their children. 2. Abraham Lincoln In a speech only two minutes long, Lincoln explained the moral justification for the Civil War in his Gettysburg Address. 3. Winston Churchill In a few short years Churchill transformed himself from a burly, unemployed, failed novelist to a leader of the free world with ...
