    Klopp insists Spurs will recover from Newcastle thrashing to face Liverpool

    Jürgen Klopp says that he thought his TV was broken when he saw Tottenham were 5-0 down after 21 minutes at Newcastle but claims the humiliation will not be on Spurs’ minds at Anfield.

    Liverpool boast a formidable home record against Spurs, who have won only once in the league at Anfield since 1993, and would leapfrog Ryan Mason’s side with a fourth successive Premier League win on Sunday. Spurs’ poor record plus the scars from St James’ Park in their most recent away fixture could leave them more vulnerable than usual but Klopp does not expect a hangover from the 6-1 rout.

    The Liverpool manager said: “The Newcastle v Tottenham game I came home, switched the TV on and it was 1-0. I had something else to do and wanted to watch the game a bit later, and when I came back in it was 5-0. I honestly thought there was something wrong with the screen, somebody had made a joke or something. Newcastle obviously is in very good moment so these kind of things can happen.

    “I never could think in my life like that [about Spurs being scarred at Anfield]. To find for yourself the right attitude in the game you have [to] think the opponent is really strong. And they are strong. A very famous German coach once said: ‘If you always expect an easy game you will never have one, but if you always expect a super difficult game then from time to time you might have an easy one.’ But the other way doesn’t work.

    “I have no clue what happened at Tottenham. I see Harry Kane, I see Son, I see Kulusevski, I see Perisic, Richarlison, Højbjerg and so on and they all have played exceptional football during their careers. We had some problems in moments this season and maybe other teams thought: ‘Oh it’s a great moment to play Liverpool.’ Maybe it was, I don’t know, but if I am in the other camp I would never have imagined that Liverpool would show up weak. I cannot think about Tottenham in any other way apart from I expect them to be really strong.”

    Klopp insists it is premature to proclaim that Liverpool have found consistency. But he believes the form of Curtis Jones, who has started the past five matches after an injury-plagued season, demonstrates there is more quality and potential in his squad than many suspect.

    “If you go to social media you think: ‘Oh my god there is no bigger problem in the world than our midfield,’” he said. “Somebody showed me after the West Ham game a thing on Instagram when people find out our lineup and what they write about it. Not a lot of them wanted Curtis on the pitch, not a lot of them wanted Cody [Gakpo] on the pitch and when they saw Joël Matip was playing they say: ‘How can they do that?’ And these are people who like us usually.

    “I understand this season makes people nervous, but we have a lot of potential in this team. We didn’t show it very often this season and we will keep that, improve that and bring in new players. Both is possible.”

  • Luis Díaz could leave Liverpool by exchange: where would he go?

    [ad_1]

    The English media highlight a piece of news in which the Colombian forward of the Liverpool, Luis Diazhe could leave the team and move on to soccer Italy.

    It is noted that in the revival that the English cast wants, the striker of the Milan Rafael Leo, name that has gained strength in the last hours.

    The operation

    The agreement, according to the newspaper Liverpool Echo, is that Díaz goes to Milan and Leao reaches the Premier League.

    “Italian outlet Calciomercato claims that Leao is “ever closer” to leaving the Italian giants, and his current contract expires next summer,” reports the local newspaper.

    He added: “Since contract negotiations turned out ‘negative’, the article claims Milan could ‘listen to offers’ in a bid to avoid losing the Portuguese international for free in 2024.”

    nothing fixed

    The information warns that Liverpool would be willing to give up the peasant, who has given them so much joy, to hire the Portuguese, who is a sensation.

    “However, Milan would prefer a ‘cash only proposition’ and are said to value the player at between €120m and €150m,” the news reported.

    It is noted that the attacker, who was part of the Lille French, he is one of those who has been beaten by DT, Jurgen Kloppwho would agree to the exchange, in order to have Leao.

    close to return

    Díaz, who is injured, is already doing field work and is close to returning to the courts, but there is no date for that special moment.

    Liverpool is not doing well. He was thrashed by real Madrid at home, 2-5, in the first leg of the round of 16 of the Champions League, and in the Premier league occupies the box with 36 points, while the leader, Arsenal, It has 57 units. Very far.

  • Mykhailo Mudryk cameo livens up Chelsea’s goalless draw at Liverpool

    Mykhailo Mudryk cameo livens up Chelsea’s goalless draw at Liverpool

    [ad_1]

    The 1,000th game of Jürgen Klopp’s managerial career will not be remembered with fondness, if it is remembered at all. “I heard Arsène Wenger lost his 1,000th game 6-0 so I’m really happy that didn’t happen,” the Liverpool manager said. Klopp was determined to accentuate the positives despite his team, and Chelsea, illustrating why Champions League qualification may be beyond them.

    A flat goalless draw at a freezing Anfield did nothing to validate talk of a revival from either Klopp or Graham Potter, although both seized on any crumbs of encouragement they could find. For Chelsea, whose run of six Premier League away games without a win is their worst in over seven years, they came in an impressive second half display from new £88m signing Mykhailo Mudryk and another imperious defensive performance from 38-year-old Thiago Silva. For Liverpool, who remain without a league win in 2023, it was a second successive clean sheet and the return to fitness of Darwin Núñez. Slim pickings indeed.

    “He was really good,” the Chelsea manager said of Mudryk. “He will get better the more he is with us but there were promising signs. He has only had two sessions with us but from watching him with Shakhtar he is dangerous in one v ones, he makes things happen in the final third, he gets supporters off their seats and he knows where the goal is.”

    Kai Havertz had an early goal ruled out by VAR but that was a rare incident in a game of precious little quality. The fixture’s usual stakes were already lowered before kick off with Liverpool and Chelsea ten points off the top four in ninth and tenth place respectively.

    Klopp reflected: “For me it is clear, you have to make small steps and that is how it is. I expect progress and from the last league game it was definitely progress. We defended with passion, which we didn’t do two weeks ago, so that is important. Usually a point against Chelsea is not a bad result but I feel everyone is thinking; ‘How can you not win against them?’ They will win a lot of games, believe me. I saw good signs. Now we have to do the good things better and for longer. I am sure they will go in that direction.”

    Havertz had the ball in the Liverpool net after only three minutes and perhaps the complexion of the game would have altered had VAR not disallowed the strike for offside. But probably not. The hosts struggled with crosses into their area from the outset. New Chelsea signing Benoît Badiashile was left unmarked at the first corner of the game, from Conor Gallagher, and his touch dropped for Silva to strike the base of a post from close range. Havertz converted the rebound and Liverpool had conceded first yet again. They were reprieved when, with the Chelsea celebrations over and the teams ready to restart, VAR found the goalscorer in an offside position.

    Klopp rightly rewarded Stefan Bajcetic and Harvey Elliott with starting roles following their contributions to the midweek FA Cup win at Wolves. The Liverpool manager also kept faith with the same midfield trio that brought more intensity and energy to the team following the abject defeat at Brighton, at the expense of Fabinho and Jordan Henderson, while James Milner was preferred at right back to Trent Alexander-Arnold. The end product was perfectly encapsulated by Klopp’s face when the half-time whistled sounded, a picture of undisguised fury at possession being lost and his team failing to trouble Kepa Arrizabalaga in the Chelsea goal.

    There was more intensity and purpose from Liverpool after the break, and presumably after a few home truths from Klopp. Mudryk made an immediate impression, showing good feet to weave away from two Liverpool defenders in a tight space before finding the side-netting. Milner, booked for hauling down the Ukraine international, was replaced by Alexander-Arnold after Mudryk had escaped him once too often.

    Hakim Ziyech fired over at the end of a superb run across the Liverpool defence and Alexander-Arnold skied a good chance from Núñez’s cross from the by-line. But a non-event of a game got the scoreline it deserved.
