Ahead of their third round League Cup tie against Derby County, Klopp says they wouldn’t be in it if they didn’t want to win it. When I thought what I had to do in the transfer window, I always heard about: ‘We have to sign this striker or this kind of striker.’ It’s really hard out there to find better strikers who are available.

Given that Cundy’s job is to talk football, and that he appears to have a problem with Liverpool, it was always going to be likely that he crossed paths with the former Liverpool defender again.
If Liverpool are to have any chance of competing for a Champions League place this season, they’ll need to learn how to win tough, even with their backs against the wall. It was pretty clear it would make sense to sign him.
Conte’s Chelsea still sit fifth in the Premier League table, but the west Londoners have now gone two games without a win after drawing 2-2 at Swansea City in their outing prior to Friday’s Liverpool clash. Giving Klopp a full season we could see some drastic improvements and I believe Anfield will have a reason to cheer once again. There are a lot of players in the second division who could play in the first division. It’s not about how the player feels, it’s about how I feel.
Ragnar Klavan is fit again so he should start in defence and could be joined by Mamadou Sakho as the French worldwide needs game-time as he looks to try and resurrect his career at Anfield. “Today is the fourth day and he had already three, so he’s in [contention for Tuesday]”.

“Like I said before the game he could have played, the medical department told me, but I heard the word risk too often. It’s a long, long time since he played”. Georginio Wijnaldum, another top performer from Chelsea game, is a doubt after suffering a cramp late in that epic encounter. “If a player has an issue, of course we wouldn’t risk him, but it’s not about resting 100% fit players”. We know how to handle it, we know about recovery.
