Klopp vows to help Gerrard become ‘best’ manager

Can they just suddenly turn it on in the cup games now that realistically represents Liverpool’s sole chance of silverware this season?

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has admitted he conducted a thorough chat with is players following the 3-2 loss to Swansea City on the weekend.

Defeat was a blow to Liverpool’s title hopes and their season is in danger of unravelling as they now have to overturn a 1-0 deficit against Southampton in the second leg of their EFL Cup semi-final before leaders Chelsea are the next league visitors to Anfield.

“One defeat doesn’t make you a bad team, we’ve still got a lot of confidence in the squad”, said Henderson. “For us, 1-0 is no different to 0-0, there is still all to play for, everything is still possible”.

Liverpool have never lost when Matip has played and the 25-year-old seems likely to return to central defence on Wednesday following his problems with injury and global clearance. That is a very important part of the game and was very disappointing today. “The lad is quick, has played in midfield at youth level and we need someone there with pace to stretch teams like Mane does”, he told the Liverpool Echo.

Philippe Coutinho, now fully recovered from injury, made his first league start since November after playing for 65 minutes in Wednesday’s FA Cup win at Plymouth, but showed only occasional sparks of creativity during a tepid first half.

“When you are in the hard moments, that’s when you have to stay on track and still believe, and that is what we see”.

Liverpool legend Steve Nicol has warned the Anfield class of 2016-17 that “a team doesn’t win the Premier League shipping goals in the way they do”.

Sigurdsson picked up the victor. That’s great for us as a club and I think for him it’s ideal because being a manager is a job you have to learn.

“I can feel around us, it’s not that positive any more”. We were pleased with him.

“We are still in the race, that’s really good“, Klopp said.

“It will give everyone a big boost, this victory”.

They lost their last game in the Premier League against Swansea and they will want to react and of course to do a second leg with a strong game. I speak about the whole defence of the team.

“We were rolling forward and the crowd was finally there, atmosphere was for us to win at 2-2, but the third goal was just a huge mistake”.

“(It is about) people knowing their jobs and responsibilities.
