"It's always nice to win, especially away from home. But we didn't play well for the first 15 or 20 minutes. It was a really difficult start for us, but we managed to control the game in the end. In the long run, you have to focus on your own performance. I don't think we started well, but you have to give Wolves credit. They play a lot of players on the right. That's why we had a difficult start, but we were much better in the second half. We showed a lot more energy and intensity than in the first 15 minutes. I think what stood out in our first goal was our patience. In general, we are more patient."
"We were not very good overall, also in the last few minutes of the game, and there were periods in the game where we did really well. Gary O 'Neal also deserves credit for his game plan. Although it sounds strange, he has actually been very good in the last six games. He has a very good game plan for every opponent and for us as well. After the first 15-20 minutes we controlled the game and scored goals."
"Hrafenberger is very comfortable on the ball and with him and McAllister, it helps if you want to keep the ball, they can run as well. Hrafenberger is doing very well without the ball now, which is surprising to me because I know him from my time in Liga. Klopp has trained him very well."
Finally, Slott said of the title race: "I have always been realistic, Klopp has done a great job. We have to show we can be competitive in the Champions League and the Premier League."
