I knew it would be difficult. That (controversial defeat to Tottenham) is long ago and we are over that and Diogo is over it as well. We are not children.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;From a focus point of view, it was not a problem to focus on the game, in the game it was a problem to keep being focused because that was how it looked a little bit.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;We got a bit sluggish, I didn&#8217;t like that too much but that was nothing to do with the last game or the last week. That&#8217;s the challenge in football any way.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Two successive wins puts Liverpool two points clear at the top of Group E and victory over Toulouse, two points behind, in three weeks&#8217; time would put them on the verge of qualification for the knockout stages.<\/p>\n<p>But it was far from the sort of free-flowing performance seen by the side this season as they missed a number of chances and then started to lose their way in the second half.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;(I liked) the start and the result. The goals, the chances we created. What I didn&#8217;t like is we lost rhythm after 25 minutes,&#8217; Klopp added.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;It&#8217;s very difficult to keep rhythm in games like this but it&#8217;s important. We should have scored earlier but got the second in stoppage time.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;We should use our chances better more often if we want to be successful in competitions but I&#8217;m not angry or concerned, it&#8217;s just how it is.
