Jurgen Klopp surprised by Liverpool’s early season form
Jurgen Klopp said Monday that he has been blown away by the standards Liverpool have set at the start of their Premier League title defence after coming from behind to beat Arsenal 3-1 at Anfield. Goals from Sadio Mane, Andy Robertson and Diogo Jota saw off the Gunners, who had won their opening two league games of the season. While Manchester City, Chelsea, Manchester United, Tottenham and now Arsenal have all lost in the opening three weeks of the new campaign, Liverpool have taken maximum points to lay down an early marker that they remain the team to beat in the Premier League this season. “It’s really early in the season and with this performance it is absolutely ‘wow’,” said coach Klopp. “From the first second, (it was) dominant against a team in form. We had to be careful like hell ...
Jürgen Klopp ‘very, very happy’ as Liverpool win first friendly
Jürgen Klopp admitted he was “very, very happy” with his Liverpool side as they beat Stuttgart 3-0 in their first pre-season friendly of the summer. Goals from Roberto Firmino, Naby Keita and Rhian Brewster gave the Reds a win, but it was the weather that was the most difficult opponent at times – a huge downpour turning the pitch into a quagmire. But Klopp was delighted with how his side performed and will now face Red Bull Salzburg in four days time. “I’m very happy, very happy,” he told the club’s official website. “It was a super intense session for us today because the weather, wow, it rained like crazy, the pitch was really difficult – you could see the water was still on the pitch. That makes football games always tricky. “Good organised opponent obviously but we scored nice goals a...
Predicted Liverpool starting XI: Klopp to make four changes, 25-year-old to start
Premier League champions Liverpool will face Newcastle United in the final game of the season at St James’ Park on Sunday. It has been a memorable season for the Reds, as they won three trophies to add to last year’s Champions League. The most precious one would be the Premier League which finally returned to Merseyside after 30 years. The Reds collected the silverware in midweek after a 5-3 win over Chelsea. With nothing to play for, except trying to set a club record of 99 points for the season, Jurgen Klopp is likely to make changes to the side that won against the Blues in the midweek. Jordan Henderson is injured for this game. Joel Matip is also sidelined until the summer. Adam Lallana hasn’t featured and the club will not take the risk to jeopardise his move away on a free trans...
Jürgen Klopp reaffirms praise for Thiago Alcantara as Liverpool rumours grow
Liverpool boss Jürgen Klopp has once again responded to Thiago speculation, confirming that he’s a ‘great player’ but remaining coy on any potential transfer developments. The 29-year-old has refused to sign a contract extension at Bayern with just one year remaining on his current deal, and the rumours linking him to a Liverpool switch have only grown stronger in time. “I have no idea who will play for me next year, there is nothing to say at the moment,” he told Sky Germany. “Thiago Alcantara is a great player, but also a Bayern Munich player. That’s actually all there is to say. There’s nothing to say!” To further distance himself from the Thiago links, Klopp confirmed that Liverpool will ‘need time’ before they decide to make any summer transfers. “We have a really good squad, we have ...
Liverpool skipper out for the rest of the season
Jurgen Klopp has confirmed Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson is out for the rest of the season due to a knee injury. The England midfielder limped out of a 3-1 victory at Brighton and Hove Albion on Wednesday after damaging his left knee in a challenge with Yves Bissouma. At a Friday news conference, Klopp revealed Henderson will play no further part in the champions’ bid to break Manchester City’s record Premier League points tally of 100. The former Sunderland man will not require surgery, however, and his manager is optimistic he will be fit for the start of the 2020-21 season. Klopp said: “Best possible news. It’s a knee injury, but no surgery is required. “He will not play this season, but I’m positive he will start the new season. He’s a quick healer.” Klopp also revealed Dejan Lovr...
‘Master of mind games’: Hartson reacts to what Jose Mourinho has said about Liverpool
John Hartson has given his take on Twitter on Tottenham Hotspur head coach Jose Mourinho’s recent comments about Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp. The former Arsenal striker believes that Mourinho praising Liverpool for giving manager Klopp time is a mind-game from him, an indirect message to his club Tottenham to do the same for him. Klopp was appointed the Liverpool manager in October 2015, and it was only this season that he has guided the Reds to the Premier League title. In his pre-match press conference ahead of this evening’s Premier League game against Sheffield United away from home at Bramall Lane, Mourinho praised Liverpool for giving Klopp time and showing patience to build a title-winning team, as quoted in The Liverpool Echo. Former Arsenal striker Hartson believes that it could be...
Nantes complete signing of Liverpool’s central midfielder
French club Nantes have completed the signing of Premier League giants Liverpool’s central midfielder Pedro Chirivella. The former Spain U17 international is now set to leave the Anfield club on a free transfer once his contract with the current European champions comes to an end on June 30. Liverpool announced the decision on their official website in a lengthy statement where the club wished Chirivella the best for the future. “Liverpool FC can confirm Pedro Chirivella is set to join French side Nantes upon the expiration of his contract at the end of this month,” read the statement. “Everybody at Liverpool FC thanks Pedro for his contribution to the club and wishes him the best of luck in his future career.” Nantes had a difficult time in the Ligue 1’s 2019-20 campaign where they finish...

Report: Klopp identifies 24-year-old ‘sensation’ who is at the top of Liverpool ‘summer hitlist’
Liverpool will be looking to bolster their attacking options in the summer. The likes of Adam Lallana and Xherdan Shaqiri are expected to leave, and Jurgen Klopp will be looking to bring in new faces to fill the void. According to reports from The Sun, Liverpool have made Wolverhampton Wanderers star Adama Traore their number one target for the summer. The report claims that Klopp has placed the Spanish attacker at the top of his transfer wishlist in the summer. The Reds have been heavily linked with a move for RB Leipzig’s Timo Werner but it seems Klopp wants to bring Traore to Anfield instead. Traore has improved immensely under Nuno Espirito Santo at Wolves and has enjoyed a phenomenal 2019-20 campaign for the Premier League side. The 24-year-old winger has scored six goals an...
Report: Jurgen Klopp stance on £90k-a-week West Ham and Crystal Palace target
According to The Express, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is ready to let Nathaniel Clyne leave this summer, with West Ham United and Crystal Palace interested in the defender. Clyne is out of contract at Liverpool at the end of next month, and manager Klopp is reportedly ready to let him leave on a free transfer instead of offering him a new deal. The report has added that London clubs Palace and West Ham are interested in securing the services of the 29-year-old right-back, who earns £90,000 per week as salary. Disappointing Liverpool spell Clyne has been at Liverpool since 2015, but the former Southampton star has failed to make a massive impact at Anfield. There have been injury issues, and when the right-back has played, he has not been exactly great. The 29-year-old former Palace righ...
Chelsea still keen on signing RB Leipzig forward Timo Werner
Chelsea are maintaining their interest in RB Leipzig forward Timo Werner despite the fact that Liverpool are leading the race to sign the Germany international, 90min reports. The 24-year-old has enjoyed a superb season with Leipzig where he has scored 27 goals and registered 12 assists across all competitions. Out of those, 25 goals and seven assists have come in the Bundesliga, where he has helped his team keep up with Bayern Munich in the race for the Bundesliga title. In recent months, Jurgen Klopp’s side have been touted as the favourites to sign the German forward but they have yet to make an official approach to land his signature. Werner currently has a £52m release clause on his contract but the Reds are yet to trigger the value, given they are assessing the financial impact of th...
