Liverpool supporters “discover a way” to overturn Jurgen Klopp’s resignation as manager.

When Jurgen Klopp said in January that this would be his last season as manager, it stunned the Reds’ locker room and crushed the hearts of Liverpool supporters everywhere.

The supporters of Liverpool believe they have discovered a way to persuade Jurgen Klopp to change his mind about stepping down as manager.

When Klopp said in January that this would be his last season as manager, it shocked the Reds’ locker room and crushed the hearts of Liverpool supporters everywhere.

Virgil van Dijk’s demand was met by the Liverpool players, who went on to win the Carabao Cup, guaranteeing that Klopp will have some hardware to show for his nine seasons in charge.

However, Liverpool has lowered their game in recent weeks. The Reds are no longer blowing teams away in the Premier League as the tournament nears its conclusion. They were eliminated from the FA Cup by fierce rivals Manchester United, and they now trail Atalanta 3-0 in the first leg of their Europa League quarterfinal.

When Klopp made his departure from Liverpool official, he gave an explanation that the Reds’ near-complete rebuilding was a major factor in his decision to step down.

Following a challenging campaign for Liverpool, he stated, “For me, it was super, super, super-important that I can help to bring this team back onto the rails.”

“It consumed all of my thoughts. I was able to start thinking about myself again when I realised relatively early on that it was a really good team with a tonne of promise, a super age group, super characters, and all that. It’s just what I believe to be 100% correct; it’s not what I want to accomplish.”

Everyone was, of course, in agreement when Klopp made the remarks. Anfield has been a natural fit for Alexis Mac Allister, Darwin Nunez, and Luis Diaz, for example, who are all becoming better every game.

However, some are calling attention to the “obvious loophole” now that Liverpool fans are confronted with the very real potential that Klopp’s last moment as manager would be him clapping fans following the Wolves game on the last day of the season—after the Reds finish second.

“He stated that the team is ahead of the rebuild, which is why he is departing. Well, Klopp needs to stay and they are not ahead of the rebuild,” a fan commented on social media.

“Klopp just needs to stay another season or two,” another person commented, while a third said, “We are not as good as we think, we crumble in big games this season not finishing chances, defensive errors it is a big achievement.”

“We can’t let Klopp go because, as Klopp stated, this is still a young Liverpool 2.0 squad. Klopp made them fight on all fronts. He will undoubtedly excel with this team in the upcoming season. I don’t think any other manager could complete a rebuild as quickly as Klopp did from 2016 to 2018.”

Naturally, Klopp’s decision to leave Liverpool after this season seems unlikely, but it seems certain that the next manager will have some work ahead of him to finish the renovation.

Ulla, Jurgen Klopp’s wife, expressed her thoughts about Liverpool as she considers her husband’s next move.

After leaving Anfield, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp intends to take a long break from football, but his wife Ulla Sandrock has already planned some activities for him.

Even though Jurgen Klopp made no secret of his post-Liverpool plans prior to the announcement that he will step down this year, there is still curiosity about what he will do next.

Over the previous nine years, the 56-year-old former head coach of Borussia Dortmund has won both the Premier League and the Champions League, writing his own piece of Anfield history.

Before he and his wife Ulla Sandrock ride off into the sunset this summer, he might even bring more cutlery to Merseyside.

Although Klopp has often insisted that he intended to leave Liverpool and take a long sabbatical away from the dugout, Ulla has already planned out his next steps, including dancing and cookery classes.

“There’s a few things Ulla told me – I have to learn cooking and a dance class,” Klopp stated in an interview with Sky Sports News. I told you that you wouldn’t want me to take a break since I would return to work in four weeks!

“I think I should take cooking classes so I can at least prepare breakfast or something.” I really don’t know what I’m going to do for the first time in my life, and that’s exactly what I want.

“I made scrambled eggs during COVID, but I forgot to do it again afterward. I grew up in the Black Forest with two sisters, and the smell from the kitchen was the only way I knew where it was! In my personal life, I’m quite worthless.

Ulla has been important both before and during Klopp’s time at Anfield; if she hadn’t stepped in when Manchester United called back in 2013, things would have turned out very differently.

In 2019, Phil Thompson—a longtime supporter of Liverpool—dropped the shocking revelation, detailing a chat he had with Klopp in which the manager disclosed that Ulla was the reason he had rejected a United bid.

Thompson recalled: “I questioned Klopp if he and Liverpool were meant to be together during my Sky interview. He questioned, ‘Why?’ as he glanced at me. Then Klopp informed me that his wife had objected to him taking over Manchester United. Liverpool’s wife stated it was correct when he came. He seems like he was made specifically for Liverpool, which is odd.”

And as if it wasn’t enough to win Ulla over to the Anfield supporters, two years ago Klopp was persuaded to negotiate a contract extension with Ulla because she wanted to stay at Liverpool.

At the time, Klopp made the following joke: “There’s something to announce.” Similar to the previous time, some people will find it appealing, while others won’t be very fond of it. Put it down right away if you don’t like it. I remain for an additional two years by myself. No, and this is actually the most essential part—all of my coaches will too. Why? is the query at this point. Ulla wants to stay, so what are you doing as a nice husband when your wife wishes to stay? You’re going to stay.”

Even while this time there won’t be any unexpected extensions, Klopp and his devoted wife have already left their stamp on Merseyside, and in a few weeks, more than just Liverpool’s manager will receive a heartfelt farewell.

“It’s what they always do,” says Fabrizio Romano, explaining why Klopp and Liverpool’s match against Atalanta went so badly.

After a well-earned 3-0 victory over Liverpool on Thursday, Atalanta left Anfield, causing the biggest shock of this season’s Europa League.

The Reds were one of the favourites to win the trophy this year, but if they want to keep their chances of winning the cup alive, they will need to mount a comeback on par with Barcelona’s.

During his post-match interviews, Jurgen Klopp publicly exposed his players’ shortcomings and gave credit to the Serie A squad for being the superior team, without offering any explanations for why his team lost.

Atalanta outclassed Liverpool.

There was also a noticeable air of astonishment surrounding the well-known ancient field. The crowd was in complete disbelief at what they were witnessing, but perhaps it is hurting a squad that hasn’t played all that poorly in 2023–2024.

As a cunning veteran of the pitch, Gian Piero Gasperini will have known precisely which formation to use against the Reds well in advance of the match.

The Italian team was clearly advantaged by Klopp’s decision to rotate his players. Fabrizio Romano also thought that a reorganisation of the pack was essential.

He told CaughtOffside for his Daily Briefing, “I don’t think Jurgen Klopp underestimated Gasperini, because he knows well that Gian Piero is an excellent coach.”

He simply rotated because it’s logical that you can’t play every three days with the same players.

Because Atalanta consistently plays aggressively and offensively in important European games, I anticipated an offensive display from them.

“They had a great night, and they love the 1 vs 1s all over the pitch. They had some problems recently in Serie A.”

There is no doubt that Klopp will go down in club history as one of the greatest managers to have ever sat in the Anfield dugout if he can inspire his players to deliver a performance on par with the comebacks from Dortmund and Barcelona.

His legend would still stand even if Liverpool were eliminated.

He will leave the club having defined an era during his nine years there, filled with humour, success, humanity, and the desire to be the greatest.

That’s what he should be remembered for above any outcome.

More news……

Following Man United’s error, Jurgen Klopp sent Jarell Quansah a message.

During Liverpool’s tie with Manchester United, Quansah committed a terrible mistake.

Bruno Fernandes scored from long range thanks to an assist from the centre back.

Young defender is urged by Klopp to “learn from it.”

Jarell Quansah made a mistake on Sunday that cost Liverpool the lead in their 2-2 draw with Manchester United, but Jurgen Klopp believes Quansah will learn from it.

After the 21-year-old misdirected Virgil van Dijk’s pass, the ball ended up at Bruno Fernandes’ feet. With a fantastic long-range shot, Fernandes caught Caiomhin Kelleher off guard and tied the score at one.

After Liverpool had showered down 15 attempts on Andre Onana’s goal, Fernandes’ effort was the home team’s first and represented a turning point in the encounter at Old Trafford.

Fortunately for Liverpool, they were able to salvage a late point after Kobbie Mainoo had given United the lead. With six minutes left, Mohamed Salah scored from the penalty spot after Harvey Elliott was ruled to have been fouled by Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

After the game, Klopp spoke, quickly clearing Quansah of any responsibility for his error and emphasising instead how the young player grows from it and improves going forward.

“As a football player in the Premier League, and playing for Liverpool, I have the bad news it will not be the last mistake in his life, unfortunately,” Klopp stated.

“Life is like that. He handled it really well, in my opinion, and so did we. However, there was no social media when our heroes made these kinds of errors in the past, so perhaps he’s wise enough to turn that off.

We want to play build-up, maintain possession of the ball, and play football. While it’s not ideal, bigger errors are made in football. Bruno recognised the chance and seized it, and that is still the case.

“It just happens; there is no blame or criticism of any kind. The best thing that can happen is that he will learn from it.”

Liverpool’s failure to gain ground on Arsenal, who defeated Brighton & Hove Albion 3-0 on Saturday, resulted in the two teams drawing level on 71 points, one point clear of leaders Manchester City. Most importantly, Mikel Arteta’s team has three more goals than Klopp’s team and has a better goal differential of nine.

News about Liverpool: Jurgen Klopp gave a “selfish” message, and Xabi Alonso hinted at the Premier League.

After reaffirming his intention to remain in Leverkusen, Xabi Alonso will not be succeeding Jurgen Klopp, who will need to be replaced by Liverpool at the end of the current campaign.

As Jurgen Klopp’s time at Liverpool draws to a close, the Reds are getting ready for a major Anfield night matchup against Atalanta.

The Merseyside team has known for a few months that Klopp’s tenure as manager will end this season. Xabi Alonso chose to stay at Bayer Leverkusen, and Ruben Amorim seemed to be leading the way, but no news has been made on his replacement.

Liverpool, who will host Serie A team Atalanta, is one of the favourites to win the Europa League. Although Gian Piero Gasperini’s club sits sixth in Serie A, they have won every game they have played in Europe, including a recent victory over Amorim’s Sporting CP team.

We have the most recent information on the Reds’ managerial position before of another crucial game, along with some build-up to the Atalanta match. These are the most recent quotes from Mirror Football about Anfield.

The Premier League position of Alonso

Even though Xabi Alonso chose not to sign with Liverpool this summer, the Bayer Leverkusen manager hasn’t ruled out going back to England in the future. In an interview prior to his team’s Europa League match against West Ham, the Spaniard discussed his thoughts on Premier League football.

“I’m still a young coach, so it’s definitely a nice one (thought), but you never know. Right now, I have enough on my plate to think about,” he remarked. “I talk to several colleagues who coach in the Premier League on a regular basis, and they are aware of how difficult it is to prepare for and participate in every game.

“West Ham is one of the many fantastic players, coaches, teams, and stadiums in this competition; it’s really exciting.” We are excited about our fantastic opportunity to progress and continue in a fantastic season as we approach them tomorrow with the utmost respect.‌

Elliott messages Klopp

Harvey Elliott, a midfielder for Liverpool, has talked about striking a balance between advocating for regular football and without coming across as conceited. As Jurgen Klopp is ready to announce his starting lineup for Atalanta, the former Fulham player, who won a pivotal penalty at Old Trafford last weekend, has made it clear where he stands.

“I’m not saying that I don’t appreciate every chance I get to wear a Liverpool shirt. However, I want to push myself,” Elliott remarked. “I’m no longer a child. I’m a guy, and I’m developing rapidly. I have to take responsibility for my actions, even if that means going to the gaffer’s house.

“I prefer not to cause too much agitation. Since I work with the team, I don’t want to come out as conceited. However, I want to solidify my position on this club.

Klopp confronts the reporter on the Henderson interview.

When Jurgen Klopp gave a direct message to a Dutch journalist during the Liverpool manager’s pre-Atalanta press conference, things went south. Liverpool’s manager persisted after revealing that the journalist in question’s colleague had done a heated interview with Jordan Henderson.

“Your colleague, is he a friend of yours?” Klopp was sacked. Upon learning that the coworkers saw each other infrequently, he went on, saying, “Wow! How awful of an interview that was!”

Following a draw with Fortuna Sittard at the time, Henderson furiously replied to the interviewer. Liverpool’s manager said he would “take that apology on behalf of Hendo” after learning that the journalist at his news conference had received an apology from the concerned colleague.

5 takeaways from Liverpool’s 0–3 home loss to Atalanta

These are five talking topics from Liverpool’s UEFA Europa League match against Atalanta, which ended 0-3 at Anfield. A night to remember for the Reds.

FEW SIZEABLE RETURNS

Let us begin with the one and only advantage.

For this match, Jurgen Klopp was able to bring Stefan Bajcetic, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Diogo Jota back to the first team. The first two are key players who have missed a tonne of important games; they haven’t played in about two months.

But Bajcetic took me by surprise. He has only played a pitiful 72 minutes this season and hasn’t appeared in any games since September. The Spaniard is currently back in the starting lineup.

As Klopp attempts to keep up his zeal in the title hunt, it ought to make things simpler in the upcoming weeks. Of course, it’s preferable if there are more elite players accessible.

INTENSITY

We’ve been able to say this over and over the past few weeks: Liverpool simply lacked the intensity they needed here. An oddly pervasive mood that borders on arrogance.

However, this was the clearest example of it that I could find. Liverpool failed to be aggressive and urgent, which let Atalanta constantly overwhelm them.

This is a pattern that must end right away or it could spoil the season.

DEFENDING

If Liverpool simply played better defence, this game wouldn’t end in disaster despite the terrible intensity and wasted opportunities. Gianluca Scamacca’s two objectives were directly related to his lack of notice.

He was first there to do a cut-back without encountering any obstacles. Then he finished from a cross so wide that everyone thought something had gone wrong.

Atalanta easily breezed through the heart of Liverpool in the third as well. Really, without any opposition.

That, above all, was the main issue at hand. The Reds’ shoddy defence lost them the match and probably their prospects of winning the Europa League as well.

CHANGES MADE

Subs by Klopp made sense. At halftime, he substituted Andy Robertson, Dominik Szoboszlai, and Mohamed Salah. Luis Diaz followed by Diogo Jota. In a sense, he replaced the absent first team players.

Did the proper players, nevertheless, score points? Second-half Liverpool were considerably blunter. For example, Harvey Elliott came closest to scoring more than anybody else, but two excellent opportunities to do so were lost due to poor passes from Cody Gakpo.

Darwin Nunez also blew a fantastic opportunity, but he was driving action. After he left, not much happened.

Once more, Klopp will have had much higher expectations of the players he started, and ultimately, the outcome favoured those who left off.

CURRENTLY WHERE?

Now, Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp must decide whether to give up on the Europa League. Really, they need to defeat Atalanta—a squad that has a strong home record—by four goals.

It might ultimately be wiser to rest the stars in Bergamo and focus domestically given they’re involved in the title fight.

Meanwhile, Liverpool has overcome a 3-0 deficit in Europe under Klopp’s leadership. But that’s the same as at Anfield.

April 12, 2024
Before leaving at the end of the season, Jurgen Klopp confirms his post-Liverpool plans.

After the 2023–2024 season, Jurgen Klopp will leave his position as manager of Liverpool, despite speculation that he may succeed Julian Nagelsmann as manager of Germany following Euro 2024.

When he leaves his position as manager of Liverpool at the end of the current campaign, Jurgen Klopp has made clear what he will do.

On January 26, Klopp made public his intention to resign from his position, ending his tenure as manager, which he had started in October 2015. The news generated a great deal of conjecture over his replacement, with Rubem Amorim lately surpassing Xabi Alonso as the clear favourite.

Although Klopp has often stated he will take a break from the game before making any decisions, he has been linked to the position of manager of the Germany national team. He declared that he was “running out of energy” for the decision he had made and made it plain that he would not be discussing his future plans for the duration of the campaign.

However, he did make a mistake when he was addressing at a press conference on Thursday before Liverpool’s Europa League quarterfinal first leg against Atalanta. When asked if he had ever considered becoming a Serie A coach, Klopp said, “Italian food is the only thing I know that is Italian.” I have no plans to pursue a management position in the near future. I have no plans right now, but ask me in a year.”

After a challenging 2022–2023 season, Klopp informed his bosses of his decision in November and said it had been simmering since the summer. In January, he stated, “I didn’t expect that when I made the decision. That was a relief.” It’s mixed today. I’m not feeling as attached as I will be when I finally go. Not only did I have to inform the owners, but also the players and supporters, which were two crucial tasks.

“The players’ response was excellent because we had been friends for a long time. I’m here; I don’t say stuff like that and then leave. If you would like, I can respond to 500,000 queries today, but that’s all I have to say.

There were a few tears shed, but overall there wasn’t much emotion as I had to inform certain individuals a little early. That is typical. The club needs time to plan for the future while we take care of the present, so now is the best time to do it. I used to know how I felt, therefore the relief is gone now.”

Even though Klopp has maintained that he will take a year off, the connections to the Germany position are still there. Although Julian Nagelsmann will captain the squad at Euro 2024 this summer, it is still unknown what his long-term plans are. This week, Rudi Voller, a longtime supporter of the Liverpool manager, inked a new deal to serve as director of the German FA. “I do believe that Jogi Low can still do it for a while, but at some point it will be Jurgen Klopp,” Voller stated back in 2020.

Stars are expected to depart as Liverpool advised over “Fergie-style” reject warning after Jurgen Klopp.

After nine years as manager, Jurgen Klopp will depart Liverpool at the end of the current campaign. The Reds have already been given a preview of what their future may hold given Manchester United’s current circumstances.

Liverpool has been told that if Jurgen Klopp leaves this summer, they would see a fall akin to that of Manchester United.

After nine years as the Reds’ manager, Klopp will step down from his position at Anfield at the end of the current campaign. He has made them into one of the top teams in English football during that time.

They have won the FA Cup, League Cup, Champions League, and Premier League under his direction, and this season they are expected to win an additional three titles. It’s a winning run of form reminiscent of Sir Alex Ferguson’s heyday at United.

Ferguson announced his retirement in 2013, and the Red Devils haven’t won the championship since. In that time, they have had five managers, and Erik ten Hag, the most recent, doesn’t seem to be getting them back to the top of the standings.

John Arne Riise fears that if Klopp leaves, his former squad may experience the same fate. The Norwegian, who helped Liverpool win the Champions League, has issued a warning that some of the team’s best players might leave with Klopp.

“Once Klopp leaves, there’s always a chance of a Fergie-esque collapse. That’s risky all the time. Will every player stay when the manager leaves? Who is entering?” To BoyleSports, Riise said.

“Players value that connection much; will they stick around if he leaves? When a new management takes over, will they still hold the same beliefs? The boss need not always be at fault.

“If the players simply don’t feel the same way about them. The appointment of the club’s future manager is therefore crucial. Therefore, it’s not just a matter of who gets appointed but also who stays? Now that Klopp has departed, who will tell their agent they want to leave?”

John Arne Riise has expressed concern Regarding his former club

Xabi Alonso was the front-runner to succeed Klopp, but he eliminated himself from consideration last month. As Alonso is definitely not going to take Klopp’s place, Riise has Liverpool’s hot seat picked for Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi.

“Where Liverpool wants to go will determine who manages the team going forward. I adore Brighton’s De Zerbi’s work. Because he’s so committed to being himself, he would fit right in,” Riise continued.

“He stays the same and follows his own path. Seeing him in Liverpool would be wonderful. It all depends on the path they wish to take, and Klopp’s respect for De Zerbi also plays a part.

“Manager Klopp will in some way give the club some insight into how to move forward and who to rely on. I think De Zerbi is one of the most qualified people, so I’m looking forward to that. ing” “

Jürgen Klopp gets what he needs as Liverpool receives four injury boosts, including Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Jürgen Klopp gets what he needs as Liverpool receives four injury boosts, including Trent Alexander-Arnold.

It looks like Trent Alexander-Arnold is back in training with Liverpool. In addition, Jürgen Klopp has received three more boosters ahead of the final stretch of the Premier League.

Alisson Becker, Diogo Jota, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Stefan Bajčetić were all observed in training ahead of Liverpool’s Europa League first-leg match against Atalanta, giving the team a quadruple fitness boost.

Speaking on Friday ahead of the trip to Manchester United, Jürgen Klopp stated that he hoped to see them all this week. And it appears that the Germans’ wish for them all to participate in team training to some extent has been granted.

Alisson hasn’t played since the 3-1 loss against Brentford at the beginning of February, while Jota sustained a knee injury against them about two weeks later. Since the league match between the two, at Anfield against Burnley, Alexander-Arnold has not been available.

Bajčetić, who has missed nearly the entire season due to an injury, spent last week practicing with Liverpool’s U21 team. Thus far in 2023–24, the 19-year-old Spanish midfielder has only made two appearances.

Bajčetić is not immediately needed to play because of the form of Alexis Mac Allister and company, and Liverpool will continue to be cautious with the youthful potential. However, having a role in the run-in would be a pleasant lift for him.

More importantly, though, is that Jota and Alexander-Arnold will soon be available for selection for Liverpool. The former’s clinical edge was lacking against Manchester United over the weekend, but Alexander-Arnold will provide Jürgen Klopp’s team an instant boost of quality in addition to what Conor Bradley has been doing in his absence.

Great to see you back out there, lads 💪 pic.twitter.com/LL4bM2S7gW

Although Caoimhín Kelleher has performed admirably in Alisson’s absence, the Brazilian is probably going to return to the squad for the Premier League games. Kelleher has been touring Europe and is probably going to stay there.

During his pre-Atalanta press conference on Wednesday, Klopp will provide a more comprehensive report on injuries. Prior to that quarterfinal match, Liverpool’s players will also be put through their paces in an open session with the media.

With seven Premier League games remaining, a two-leg Europa League last-eight matchup with Atalanta, a probable two-leg semi-final matchup with either Benfica or Marseille, and a potential final, Liverpool can play up to 12 games this season. It will be crucial to have as many important players fit as possible as the Reds want to give Klopp the send-off of his dreams by winning a few more titles.

More news…..

Premier League star confirms Ruben Amorim to be taking over as the manager of Liverpool.

After playing for two years under Amorim, Joao Palhinha anticipated that his former manager would take over for Jurgen Klopp.

The confirmation of Ruben Amorim as Jurgen Klopp’s replacement as Liverpool manager is imminent.

Joao Palhinha, a star player for Fulham who spent two years playing for Amorim before joining the Premier League in 2022, says as much.

Amorim is reportedly a top contender to replace Klopp at Anfield following Xabi Alonso’s decision to extend his contract with Bayer Leverkusen.

Amorim have the “quality” to stand up to the significant task on Merseyside and manage the “pressure,” according to Palhinha.

“One of the greatest coaches in Portugal, Ruben possesses a great deal of quality. Since Braga, he has performed admirably, he informed O Jogo. He is well-versed in the game and enjoys a deep bond with the players.

“He won’t be in Portugal for very long the way he’s developing. He’s not going to stay in Portugal for lack of opportunity.

“He dreams and aims to win another title with Sporting and then the future will be in his hands.”

“Yes, of course, but the pressure is different,” he continued.

“Being the head coach of a major Portuguese team means that you are under constant pressure to succeed from both the club’s size and its supporters.

“The supporters, the team, and the entire globe put pressure on a coach of Liverpool. Given how things are going, I believe it will only take time.”

“Dumbest thing,” says Jurgen Klopp of Liverpool in response to Manchester United’s draw

Even though Liverpool lost to Manchester United and could have taken the lead in the Premier League, Jurgen Klopp is not losing heart.

The “dumbest thing” that Liverpool could do at this point, following their Premier League title defeat, has been highlighted by Jurgen Klopp.

However, the Reds manager acknowledges that his squad cannot afford to play many more games like the one that at Old Trafford let Manchester United off the hook.

Champions Manchester City are now one point behind Liverpool, who are now tied with new leaders Arsenal on points. In addition, Klopp cautioned against the Reds trying to make up for their worse goal differential against the Gunners while discussing the significance of leading at this point in the season.

“After 38 matchday days, it matters a lot to be at the top,” stated the Liverpool manager. “People and our supporters will tell us that we should aim higher and improve our goal differential, but that would be the worst thing we could do. That isn’t intentional; you don’t walk into a game hoping to score eight goals, and yet it does occur.

“The reason we are in the race is because of ourselves and how we are. That is perfectly OK to me.

“Until the very last, I knew it would be really difficult. We were leading until yesterday, at which point Arsenal took the lead, but I’m not sure when they did. It may have been someone else. We hope to be there following the last gameday. It’s definitely preferable to stay still the entire time and put some gap between you and the other participants.

“We’re happy with where we’re at. Although I wish we had more points, I’m fine and even thrilled that these boys put us in that predicament. The boys who contributed 71 points for us today are the same ones who missed a couple opportunities.

“Will there be more twists?” Klopp continued. It’s probably true—I can’t recall how many of the games we won in the closing stretch and City prevailed—but winning a lot of football games is necessary. You shouldn’t always do what we do because it won’t be sufficient. Without a doubt not.

However, we are aware of that. However, while working with people, you have to accept what you receive. I noticed the boys’ desire. I saw a really good squad today in an extremely tough away game. We have it much harder than any other club that visits United; people are a little more sensitive. When we get there, it’s game on, tough, and we handled it pretty well.

“After two games, we were eliminated from the FA Cup with just one point. But in all the years I’ve been here, I don’t think we’ve dominated United like we did in these two games, even though we didn’t win. Clearly, there is room for improvement, but we already knew that. With everything we have, we will continue.
