Jurgen Klopp says he is enjoying \u2018Liverpool 2.0\u2019 and is excited about the ongoing rebuild at the club, with the German boss hinting that the possibilities are endless after five wins from six games to start the season.<\/p>\n
Liverpool opened their Europa League campaign with a 3-1 win at LASK in Linz, Austria on Thursday night and continued a 17-match unbeaten streak in all competitions. Four of the last five games have seen the Reds come from a goal behind to win three points.<\/p>\n
And Klopp says Liverpool\u2019s fighting spirit so far this season is only one glimpse of what his new-look team can be, with the Reds making four midfield signings this summer and seeing plenty of experienced professionals leave Anfield.<\/p>\n
Asked if he was enjoying the rebuild, Klopp said: \u2018Massively. From the first day since we got back, I have enjoyed it a lot. I was really excited about the rebuild, the new way, the new energy. We decided last year we had to change a lot.<\/p>\n
\u2018But we wanted to change it for good, not because we have to. I am still excited. We are not stable yet, there are so many things not\u2026 but we are really good already. It\u2019s a good start and nothing more.\u2019<\/p>\n

Jurgen Klopp is enjoying ‘Liverpool 2.0’ after a white-hot start to their 2023\/24 campaign<\/p>\n

Reds beat LASK in their first Europa league clash 3-1 after coming from behind to clinch win<\/p>\n
Liverpool have shown fighting spirit in many matches already this season to win four games from behind. That already matches last season\u2019s tally, in which they went 1-0 down in 21 matches but came back to win just four of those.<\/p>\n
The most polished performance – and perhaps only one where they have not started poorly – this season was at home to Aston Villa, and Klopp added: \u2018Aston Villa was a really, really, really good game, but then two weeks later (against Wolves) we played a really, really bad first half.<\/p>\n
\u2018Nobody wants to see that but it\u2019s part of the deal. When you want to change things you can\u2019t expect everything to click from the first moment. If you expect that, you\u2019re never happy with the steps you make. That\u2019s important for development.<\/p>\n
\u2018This was the new Liverpool, Liverpool 2.0! But this was only one glimpse of what we can be, we don\u2019t know where we can end up. It was a really good sign we are at the moment going into the right direction and that\u2019s really important.<\/p>\n
\u2018The things we\u2019ve been through already this season is pretty much what we\u2019d go through in a full season, 38 games. Red cards, turning games – it\u2019s not what you plan or want but we did it. It shows the boys are together in a manner we probably didn\u2019t expect this early.\u2019<\/p>\n

After a ‘bad’ first half against Wolves, Liverpool refreshed at half-time to come storming out of the gates in the 3-1 win<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Jarell Quansah is now a fully-fledged first-team member after a loan spell at Bristol Rovers<\/p>\n
The Reds host West Ham on Sunday and Klopp likes what he sees from David Moyes\u2019 team, who have also gone through a rebuild this summer. The Hammers have won three of five games this term – only losing to champions Manchester City.<\/p>\n
And Klopp added: \u2018Even with Declan Rice out, they look really good – James Ward-Prowse is a super signing, Lucas Paqueta is a super player. They look solid. The league is extremely strong which is good for the people but it means we have to be the best version of ourselves.\u2019<\/p>\n
The manager also was asked about young defender Jarell Quansah, who made his first Liverpool start at Wolves last weekend. The 20-year-old spent time on loan at Bristol Rovers last term but is now a fully-fledged first-team member at Anfield after an impressive pre-season.<\/p>\n
\u2018He\u2019s in the right moment, right club,\u2019 said Klopp. \u2018He\u2019s our boy, a fantastic boy. He played a super pre-season with us. And he deserved to start at Wolves. Some people may say it was a brave decision but I did not feel that. Ibou was ready-ish. Jarell was there and did really well.\u2019<\/p>\n
