"It's an amazing feeling" - Jones' pride at captaining Reds to FA Cup victory

Speaking to Liverpoolfc.com after the momentous victory, Jones said:
“It’s an amazing feeling. “The boys, the coaches, the staff that …

Firmino created three of the …
Will this be Liverpool's starting lineup against Southampton on Saturday?
Liverpool play Southampton this Saturday at Anfield in their final game before a two-week break. We've had a look at Jurgen Klopp's likely starting eleven for the game.

Reasons why Liverpool can sign Werner, Sancho and Havertz
It feels as though Liverpool are the only top team not allowed to have more than eleven good players. Whenever there’s a link to a top player, the media and countless pundits pipe up to claim they’d struggle to break into Jurgen Klopp’s starting XI so they shouldn’t be signed.
It’s happened recently with Timo Werner. He’s been linked with a move to Merseyside for the best part of three years now but reports claiming he’s set to leave RB …
Is Jurgen Klopp the Enemy of the Football League? Or it's Defender?
Whether you’re a Liverpool supporter or not, you’ll almost certainly have an opinion on Jurgen Klopp’s comments after (some) of his world champions drew 2-2 against a battling Shrewsbury at New Meadow Stadium. The main talking point from the game was the upcoming replay the Shrews had just valiantly earned themselves in fighting from 2-0 down. Klopp immediately dampened the tone stating, "We will not be there".
This was the most cutting line he delivered post-match as he used the …
