> I’ve been in teams that are fantastic teams when everything’s going great, we’re unbelievable and when we have an off-day we have an off-day.

> The good thing at the minute with this group when we’re having off-days we’re still coming away with good results because we’re sticking to our basics and principles well.

> When things aren’t going well we still have a clear picture of the ideas, the way that we’re going to win the game.

> Whether it’s worked for 80 minutes or 85 minutes doesn’t seem to really matter for us. We just keep going and I think that’s how we’ve won a few games.

> That sort of winning culture spreads throughout the team. The manager, he insists that the leaders in our team – Jordan, Milly, Adam, Virgil – they’re all boys who demand the most of themselves first and foremost and then the rest of us.

### Read Liverpool Verdict

The winning mentality that Klopp has created at Liverpool is arguably the greatest seen at Anfield since the glory days of the 1970s and 1980s.

It is a huge reason for their lead in the title race and the leaders within the group are playing a big role.

Henderson is doing a superb job as captain, but Milner, Lallana and Van Dijk also deserve huge credit.
