Benteke doesn't get on in cup final.... changes made and still on the bench today. Think that final nail is slowly being hammered into his coffin.
And now here’s Jurgen Klopp. Was Liverpool’s 4-1 win at the City of Manchester Stadium his team’s best performance this season? After a long pause, and a smack of the lips, he answers. “Yes, I think as a full package it was the best one. Everything came together. We played brilliant and they didn’t play too well to be honest. It was pretty good. But what can we expect after Sunday? We want to strike back. They took something we wanted to have. They won something that we wanted to keep. But the good thing in sports is we can fight. We are experienced enough to know the final was the final, and we have to carry on. But we had nothing to celebrate on Sunday night!” Klopp also points out that Daniel Sturridge is rested, and not injured. “He had a little bit of a calf problem, but that is normal after 120 minutes. He wanted to be in the squad, but I said to him that if he was in the squad, I would want him on the pitch and that doesn’t make too much sense. It was my decision so he can have some recovery and be back for Sunday after a long injury.”
Makes a change fro him hammering a nail through his own foot into the ground next to where the opposition centre back is standing,
I would be happy tonight to just see Flannagan wipe out Sterling. Don't care if it's red card worthy, it would be worth it.
and yet is our equal top Pl goalscorer with Firminho. Yes he hasn't worked out but have a certain sympathy as the midfield to some extent screwed him over. i keep reading he doesn't make runs but he was earlier in season but he was nearly always offside as our midfield always took another touch before releasing the ball. He then started waiting so midfield stopped playing thru balls from then on he was stuffed as noone in our team apart from Smith and occasionally Milner can cross. Now he has no confidence and doesn't want to know just as Klopp has clearly given up on him. For both parties the summer transfer window cannot come soon enough
We actually play the ball better when we don't have time to think about it...not perfect like but better than if we get to touch it fifty times...
