Jürgen, very well done, how pleased are you to win away on the road again,
but also in a game where moments went against you
but the team found a way to get through?
I loved the game. I thought performance-wise it was one of the best games
we played against West Ham.
We had games where scoreline-wise it looked a bit more comfortable
but the way we controlled the first half was super-special.
I liked it a lot. Being 1-0 down is not a thing we always react to perfectly this season;
today we did, pretty much.
Scored a goal but were calm around that goal as well.
OK, there was still some distance to go for Cody, but how we found him there,
it opened up and he fired it into the far corner, that was really good.
Second half, as long as the tank was full I would say we were really good,
but of course West Ham, a physical team, got back in moments,
their offside goal, I don't know how far offside it was,
there was talk about a handball, but apart from that, if you watch the game
and you don't know the result and ask who is the winner, you would have said Liverpool.
And that's what I want, I want us to win convincingly,
take three points definitely but in our situation we need more.
We need three points AND a performance we can build on,
and that's what we can do with this.
It was a game where you had a lot of the ball, especially Trent in his new position,
how much are you enjoying watching him develop and find his way there?
I enjoyed it a lot, but I enjoy in general.
So Trent is on the ball, but if we don't offer, and the press is not adapting,
he'll pass the ball back, nothing else.
I love the movements and the discipline we show in these moments,
being maybe in positions where we're not used to being constantly,
we connect together in a few situations where the passing was outstanding -
five, six, seven, eight passes, and end up with a finish.
I love that, and, yes, Trent is then a factor in this game,
but second half they tried to mark him a bit, Fabinho has to step up, that's how it is.
Then he is more free and can do these kind of things.
So I'm happy, but you can see the whole team buys into that,
and that's what I like the most.
We've had a season with not a lot to like about it, to be honest,
apart from a few results, and I really want to get something out of the season
which we can use for next season. Not just, now we are fifth, sixth, whatever -
if that's the case then we start pre-season new 100 per cent,
but I would love to pick something up from now on.
That's what we did in the last three games and it's good.
Just finally, you mention the league position,
put yourself in the shoes of the teams above you,
how would you feel with this Liverpool team behind you, with a bit of momentum,
given the reputation from the last few seasons?
Yeah, of course, a bit more under pressure than maybe three weeks ago, that's clear,
but the teams above us, they are not in that position for fun, they deserve to be there.
They played a good season, a better season than us,
but it's not over and we will try it.
We don't think about chasing them, we think about finding ourselves
and playing the best possible football, winning the most possible games.
Then we will see where we end up, but it's not that we talk about Champions League,
"We have to do this then we arrive here", bla-bla-bla,
that's not how it is. If we would still have to play them all, then yes,
but we don't, so we watch them playing.
Tomorrow night we watch Tottenham obviously,
because we play them at the weekend, but that's it.
For tonight, I'm really happy with the result, but with the performance as well.
Thanks, Jürgen.
