Klopp joked to reporters."Seriously, though, I would imagine that if United start putting their tall players in the box they will be fighting for the result and for that to happen it must mean that something we did must have worked pretty well."We know about United's physical strength and we cannot do anything to change it, all we can do is try to avoid situations where they can use it."But we have strengths of our own and first we must concentrate on what we do well."</blockquote>
