Since Klopp’s arrival as Liverpool manager, and the Reds’ continued success in domestic cups and the Europa League, his side’s capabilities have been tested.

If it was a good night for Randolph, it was not so positive for Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp, as his hectic fixture list had another game added to it and he seemed less than happy in his BT Sport interview.
Milner said the change of manager, from Brendan Rodgers to Klopp, has been hard but believes the Merseyside club can lay foundations for further success by winning the Wembly contest against his former club. “We can not ignore this, we will not ignore this”, he said, according to This Is Anfield.
“Nobody wants to play a replay because of the schedule, but we can live with that”. Hopefully, one player or other will come back from injury in the next few weeks and then we’ll have enough players. We have to be really sensitive with all the information we get.
“If we can do that, it should be exciting times at the club”.
Emre Can and Joe Allen have looked like the most energetic midfielders in the squad and Klopp has to reward Allen after he has proven himself after coming on as a substitute.
The 27-year-old goalkeeper took to social media after the Reds dew 0-0 with West Ham in the FA Cup.
“So I don’t think it is going to be the team that played at Exeter … it won’t be Benteke plus kids”.
“It is a big change, you are playing with different players and everything is new”.
“There was a picture of him at about 75 minutes and there wasn’t a bead of sweat on him – I know it’s cold, but even so”.
LIVERPOOL: Mignolet, Clyne, Caulker, Lovren, Smith, Stewart, Allen, Brannagan (Sinclair 86), Ibe (Ojo 80), Teixeira (Enrique 90), Benteke.
Slaven Bilic insists West Ham’s Premier League double over Liverpool, first in the 52 years, will count for little when the teams meet in the FA Cup fourth round on Saturday.
After the game Bilic revealed his delight at “Randy’s” performance.
Klopp said: ‘He is still working.
As it is they will have to go to Upton Park the week after next, meaning they have lost the chance of a much-needed break with a seventh successive midweek now pencilled in. I was like ‘why Liverpool?’.
