"Great to be back out there tonight with the boys. Good 3 points to start the group. Thanks to the travelling fans for their fantastic support"
Elliot's Liverpool teammates such as Luis Diaz, Cody Gakpo, Virgil van Dijk, and Ryan Gravenberch also commented on the post. However, Tyler Morton's reaction to the social media post stood out as he wrote:

Jurgen Klopp addresses Liverpool's playing spirit after recent comeback in Europe League
Jurgen Klopp recently about Liverpool's comeback against Austrian side, LASK in the Europa League after being a goal down in the early minutes. The German manager said (via The Guardian):
“I am really happy with a lot of things. It was not long ago I was being asked about us being 1-0 down, 1-0 down, 1-0 down. I understand that this may come up again sometime but this feels completely different. Something is growing but I have no clue how big it will grow.”
Similar scenes were witnessed by the fans last weekend when the Reds locked horns against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League. After Hwang Hee-chan scored in the seventh minute at the Molineux Stadium, Jurgen Klopp's side came back to score three goals and secure the win 3-1.
They have also conceded the first goals against Bournemouth and Newcastle United before bouncing back to win 3-1 and 2-1 respectively.
