What is James Mc Connell's ideal position – Klopp explains

Jurgen Klopp praised youngster James McConnell after his first Liverpool start in the FA Cup win over Norwich.

Klopp explained what his view of McConnell's position is and how the midfielder likes to operate.

"James probably would consider himself rather as a No.8 but a midfielder probably should do, if you don’t play your whole life as a No.6.

"But he is a smart footballer. He has the necessary aggression, the vision and all these kind of things that he can play that position as a No.6 and he did it really well today.

"On top of that [he is] a good footballer, how you not only saw with the cross for Curtis but in a lot of other moments. It’s really nice."
