Jamie Carragher has taken to social media to praise Liverpool for their performance after the Reds thrashed Manchester City 3-0 at Anfield in the Premier League on Wednesday night. That’s how it is and that’s what we try to do but, of course, it is not too easy for Flanno because he has a lot of qualities but I don’t think patience is the biggest one.

“I’ve not heard anything until now about any real issue but I have to wait for the final judgement of the doctor”.

“We don’t want to go and risk tomorrow, but who is available is available and then we have to make the choice”, Klopp said.

Kompany says he doesn’t mind that his side is a bit behind on the log, insisting they are well-motivated to chase down their rivals.

Liverpool fans in the Transfer Tavern are rubbing their hands in anticipation due to the latest reports that have filtered through, which sparked life into the moping bunch of lads by the bar feeling sorry for themselves after the Capital One Cup final defeat.

“He’s a young player – he’s starting his career – and knows how to deal with the pressure”.

“I don’t have any doubt at all”.

“[Lallana] is a great, great player and for our game very important because he is a lively, energetic player and he loves pressing and counter-pressing”.

Hailed as the man to give Brendan Rodgers’ side a new option and provide the physicality they’ve often missed, Benteke indeed started well with a vital goal in a narrow home win over Bournemouth and a spectacular scissor kick at Old Trafford against Manchester United.

The Academy graduate is likely to be at right-back with Nathaniel Clyne shifted across to the left. Pellegrini expects both sets of players to be exhausted but hopes the joy of Wembley glory will put an extra spring in his side’s step.

“We had just defenders or one striker to make the change, so I think that was the difference in the game”.

“We are very fortunate in that everything we generate goes back into the team”.

“I feel absolutely flawless here, not after losing a final but the next day because I know everyone here is working so hard”.

For Liverpool, Europa League a chance of revival
