Jurgen Klopp amazed as Liverpool just achieved 'impossible' feat

Jurgen Klopp is in awe of his Liverpool side after they accomplished an 'impossible' feat. The Reds are absolutely thriving.

Liverpool beat Nottingham Forest 1-0 on Saturday thanks to a 98th-minute Darwin Nunez winner. The Uruguayan has a knack for that, it seems.

It continues an incredible run of form from Liverpool, who have won five on the bounce now. Four of those have come without a break, too, with the Brentford clash two weeks ago followed by a midweek game against Luton Town. Then came the Carabao Cup final the following Sunday, then the FA Cup vs Southampton three days after that.

And now Forest away - and another win. But simply saying they're all wins is understating it as Liverpool have had to do this during a surreal injury crisis.

The Reds have been without vital, first-name-on-the-teamsheet players throughout and really felt up against it in all four. Somehow, they've won them all - something Jurgen Klopp feels was 'impossible'.

"If you'd told me 12 days ago we would win all four games I would have said no chance, it was impossible," he told the BBC. "In the circumstances winning the games is ridiculous.

"We will recharge until the next game. It's pretty special what the boys did. To get to that points tally was a big fight. It never was easy."

It truly is ridiculous. Liverpool have used debutants, out-of-position players, their backups and a series of kids to get the wins. And they've done it while looking quite solid - three clean sheets in a row now.

No wonder, then, that Klopp is a little in awe of his side because they just continue to beat the expectations. It feels like he could put out an actual Under 18 team right now and still find a win.

Fortunately, though, the stars are gradually returning. Nunez and Dominik Szoboszlai both came on against Forest and should be ready for Manchester City next weekend. Wataru Endo made a quick return from his injury, too, after missing the Saints win.

So while the shock wins have been wonderful, the best Liverpool side should be out there before too long. Just in time for what could be an all-time great finish to the season.
