Virgil van Dijk: “I think they were more direct in the beginning, with the quality that we have, great goals, Cody outstanding, great win. Onto the next. Massive, I said it before the transfer window closed, he is important for us, he will be and it showed. Let’s keep going. We didn’t doubt the quality (of Isak), last year he had a bad injury, he’s going to be important, he had a very good World Cup, pre-season and he’s getting up to speed. Now he’s going to show the world in a Liverpool shirt. Felt like forever (for a clean sheet).”
Cody Gakpo: “It was a great game for us, some things we have to improve. Much-needed win, happy we got the three points and the performance. We will see, as attackers we always play with eachother and hopefully we can assist each other, he owes me a couple of assists. Hopefully beautiful things ahead, we have to build on that, first win, hopefully the first of many.”
