Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp admits he was impressed by Leeds United after victory on the opening day.
The Reds saw off a gallant Leeds 4-3 at Anfield.
Klopp said, "How difficult the season will be, we knew before the game. If it is a good example for the season, this specific game, I don't know, because Leeds are special. I said it before the game and in the game everybody saw it obviously. I know how people are and it's completely fine, really fine and absolutely OK; they say Leeds performed outstandingly well and how can these mistakes happen? These kind of things that everybody is saying after games like this.
"We are not like this because we respect them a lot and I knew they would cause us problems. On top of that, we struggled in some defensive situations obviously, that's why they scored. But apart from that, I'm really happy with the things we did with the ball, to be honest, because it was very difficult as well to play against them with the ball. The way they play, the way they defend, the way they go into challenges was really, really good – and for 95 minutes, by the way. We played really well around these situations, scored four goals, could and maybe should have scored more because we had really good chances on top of that.
"So, I'm completely fine with the game. Offensively, it was good; and defensively, we can improve and we will improve. So, let's carry on."
