Klopp
The feeling after the game was exceptional, to be honest,"
"During the game, it was slightly different in moments. I told the boys after the game that the game turned out [to be] the game we saw because we were a bit dumb.
"We gave it, we were really strong, started really well and scored the goal.
"But then we were still playing but the protection was not that good anymore so we could have won the ball back high up the pitch but we didn't.
"They got a corner, got a counter-attack when they scored the first one, Harry (Wilson). The second should never happen, we should defend the corner better but the corner should never.
"At half-time, I said to the boys that this result is deserved and it shouldn't be like that.
"Coming out in the second half Fulham was a different opponent because they realised, 'ah, that's the way how it goes against them today'.
"But we still had our moments, we were unlucky with Darwin (Nunez) on the crossbar and other situations where we could have scored. And they scored 3-2 and it was not, not deserved and we have to say that.
"Football is sometimes like this. They did not have 20 chances but they had enough and were pretty clinical.
"We changed the system a couple of times and that worked out. That is not always the case.
"Then it ends up in a high intense, hectic period and we have a completely calm situation; ball to Mo (Mohamed Salah), Mo to Wataru, and Wataru fires it in the far corner, completely free.
"At 3-3, everyone could see the boys wanted more and because we were a bit lucky today we got it.
"Yeah, outstanding experience I would say for everyone who was here. I don't think anyone would have thought before the game that Liverpool vs Fulham will be a game that you will never forget in your life. But...you're welcome."
Klopp added:
"I never saw a game with this amount of worldies, a competitive game I mean. Trent's free-kick, unbelievable.
"Macca, before the game you could see his foot is right today and he was really in the shooting. I thought today: 'You better try it', and he obviously thought the same.
"Wataru was just so important. He came on, that was really good. Won decisive challenges, super passing, top goal. And Trent, makes it a brace. Honestly, for whatever reason, I didn't see that ball go in.
"I probably was turning in that moment or whatever, I haven't watched that back. But all of them, pretty special. Again, this game is for the No.6 [role]. When the No.8s are not that compact."
