Jurgen Klopp has revealed that Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister will likely be ready to face Chelsea in midweek. The Argentine World Cup winner was a surprise absentee from the matchday squad for Sunday’s FA Cup fourth-round meeting with Norwich at Anfield – Liverpool’s first game since their manager’s bombshell announcement on Friday that he will be stepping down from his role at the end of the season. However, the Reds did not skip a beat without their influential midfielder, thrashing overmatched Championship opposition 5-2 with five different goal scorers in Curtis Jones, Darwin Nunez, Diogo Jota, Virgil van Dijk and Ryan Gravenberch. Klopp revealed after an emotional occasion…

Andy Robertson believes Liverpool fans will continue to ignore Jürgen Klopp’s wishes after he began his Anfield farewell on Sunday. Liverpool put five past Norwich in the FA Cup in what was the first match since Klopp announced he will leave at the end of the season. Klopp asked fans not to sing his name before the game and insisted focus must remain on his players, with Liverpool still in three cup competitions and sitting top of the Premier League. That plea fell on deaf ears though and ahead of the clash with Chelsea on Wednesday, Klopp has repeated his request. “We need the…
It took just 57 seconds for Jürgen Klopp’s pre-match request to be ignored. The Kop just couldn’t stop itself from serenading the outgoing Liverpool manager — and man whose work over the last eight or nine years will never be forgotten at Anfield. It takes someone who has had a special kind of impact on a soccer club for the reaction to be quite so far-reaching. Klopp was the headline news the world over when he announced — completely out of nowhere — that he was stepping down. So much for a couple of relaxing days before a straightforward cup tie. “It’s…
Liverpool continued its push to end the season with silverware by putting five past Norwich in the FA Cup at Anfield. The Reds swept the Championship side away in what was Jürgen Klopp’s first match since announcing he will leave at the end of the season. The final at Wembley in May could turn out to be Klopp’s last ever game in charge, if Liverpool makes it, as they face Southampton or Watford in the fifth round. They were joined in the hat by a host of Premier League sides, who negotiated tricky fourth-round ties. Manchester City edged out Tottenham on Friday night,…
After the big news that Jurgen Klopp would be leaving Liverpool at the end of the season, we now know that the same will happen with Xavi at Barcelona. He officially announced that he is leaving Barca at the end of the season – it’s over. The latest result was a terrible defeat at home to Villarreal, but my sources tell me that the atmosphere has been quite toxic around the manager. Xavi tried his best along with his staff to make things work at Barcelona, but it wasn’t working. It’s not just about Xavi, but the atmosphere around the…

In their…
