Klopp admits Reds "really needed that" as top-four hopes are kept alive
Liverpool boss Jürgen Klopp says his side "really needed that" after their 2-0 win over Southampton on Saturday night.
The Reds kept their slim hopes of a top-four finish alive thanks to goals from Sadio Mané and Thiago Alcântara and a man of the match performance from goalkeeper Alisson Becker.
The win moves Liverpool within six points of fourth-placed Leicester City with a game in hand on The Foxes.
Speaking at his post-match press conference, Klopp was asked about how …
Klopp - Class is Permanent
When Jurgen arrived at Anfield, he followed three managers after Rafa Benitez had departed. He was a wonderful manager, a brilliant tactician & a man that brought the Champions League back to the red half of Liverpool. Istanbul stands as the greatest of finals, and the result will stand the test of time.
That kind of achievement cements a place in Liverpool folklore.
Rafa understood the reds, he understood the fans and understood the need for more. His final disagreements …
Who is Donyell Malen and why might Liverpool be interested?
For a team reportedly not in a position to add an attacker this summer, Liverpool are being linked with a lot of forwards.
The most persistent one seems to be to Donyell Malen. The 22-year-old is having the season of his career with 24 goals and seven assists across the Eredivisie and Europa League for PSV.
According to reports, his form hasn’t gone unnoticed and a host of clubs from across Europe are keeping tabs on the former Arsenal youngster. …
Bissouma reaction: Some Liverpool fans will never learn
If you're expecting a memorable summer in the transfer market at Liverpool, you're in for a horrible shock.
Unfortunately, this isn't FIFA or Football Manager, so the Reds won't be splashing an endless stream of cash, as Jurgen Klopp's men look to bounce back from this most dispiriting of seasons.
Given the impact that COVID-19 has had on football, and the fact that Liverpool are highly unlikely to be in the Champions League next year, some perspective is needed.
It's …
Will this be Liverpool's starting eleven to play Southampton on Saturday?
Liverpool meet Southampton at Anfield in the Premier League on Saturday night. We've had a look at the likely starting lineup for The Reds.
Jürgen Klopp will again have plenty of decisions to make. Not only with regards to the starting eleven but also about the formation Liverpool will use.
I'm guessing Klopp will opt for a 4-2-3-1 shape in this one, just to get all his best-attacking options on the pitch right from the start. This would see Mohamed …
Virgil Van Dijk's impact on Liverpool
When Liverpool paid a club-record £75million to bring Virgil van Dijk to Anfield, they hadn’t conceded fewer than 40 Premier League goals in a single season since 2009/10. On a couple of occasions, they’d even conceded 50.
To challenge for a place in the top four, teams generally had to finish with a goal difference of around +30. It is obviously a bit more complex, but if you look back over the years, that, more often than not, seems to …

New Mohamed Salah Contract Needs To Be Liverpool's #1 Priority
Mohamed Salah’s future at Liverpool has been speculated about frequently over the course of the last few months.
After Salah granted an interview to Spanish newspaper AS in December in which he didn’t immediately dismiss the prospect of one day playing for Real Madrid or Barcelona, many fans wondered whether the Egyptian was trying to engineer a move away from Anfield.
Others, however, including the Athletic’s Simon Hughes, are of the opinion that the Reds’ number 11 is keen to …
Reds reported to have joined the race for Borussia Dortmund star
Liverpool are reported to have joined the race for the signature of Borussia Dortmund's exciting forward Jadon Sancho.
The 21-year-old England international winger is viewed as a potential improvement on the out-of-form Sadio Mané - or Mohamed Salah if the Egyptian King decided to up sticks and leave. If Sancho is not signed to replace either player, he would be a fantastic addition to Liverpool's squad, allowing further rotation of the front trio.
Currently, Jürgen Klopp has Diogo Jota, Roberto …
Two Liverpool defenders step up rehabilitation from long-term injuries
Liverpool defenders Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez continued their rehabilitation from long-term injuries at the AXA Training Centre this week.
The official club site posted some pictures that should be hugely encouraging to Reds fans as we look forward to next season. Van Dijk and Gomez can be seen doing some light running and work with the ball in those photographs.
The scars of the surgeries Gomez has undergone can be seen. The 23-year-old defender has suffered a fractured …
