JURGEN KLOPP heaped praise on Adama Traore after the Wolves wideman tore the Reds to shreds at Molineux on Thursday.
Liverpool ran out 2-1 winners thanks to a late Roberto Firmino goal but Klopp focused on Wolves’ 23-year-old muscle man after the game.

Traore laid on the assist for Raul Jimenez’s 51st minute equaliser and terrorised Liverpool’s defence with his raw pace and power.
And Klopp could not help but be impressed when asked for his thoughts on the Spaniard after the game.
He said: “He is unplayable in moments, it’s unbelievable.
“What a player – it’s not only him but he’s so good.”
Traore – who recently admitted he does not do weights in the gym despite his impressive physique – returned Klopp’s compliment.
After the game he told BT Sport: “We don’t forget they are a great team, an amazing team and one of the best – or the best in Europe.
“Congratulations to them, how they are going in the league but we fight. We will fight to the end.”
Reds captain Jordan Henderson also weighed in on the Traore love in and said: “He is very tough, strong, powerful, quick.
“He’s difficult to play against.
“But the lads did brilliantly against him. I thought we did really well with that.”
Traore was born in Spain and came through Barcelona’s academy but is also eligible for Mali.
The ex-Middlesbrough man has undergone an impressive body transformation since his time as a skinny teen at La Masia.
