Liverpool news: Jurgen Klopp insists each member of his squad must accept they will not play every match in title run-in
Jurgen Klopp has insisted every player in Liverpool’s squad must accept they cannot play all the matches in their title run-in.The Anfield chief played down rumours of unrest between him and captain Jordan Henderson after the England midfielder reacted angrily whensubstituted in the goalless draw at Manchester United.
4Klopp has said his players must accept when they’re not chosenSunday’s Merseyside derby at Goodison Park is a match all the players want to be involved in and as the title race ticks down each game will become more important.However, Klopp said whether players were happy or not they had to fall into line.“They accept it. I don’t think they are happy,” he said.“Hendo played a lot of games this season then for a while had had an injury here and there. Milly (James Milner) had the same, Gini (Wijnaldum) had them, Naby (Keita), they all had their problems. “The most important thing is how it will fit for the next opponent? That’s the first thing I think about.“Then if more things than one could fit, then you start thinking about who may need a rest or whatever, or who is a little bit better in this, or this.“Hendo has played a really good season. I told him. He looked like he was not happy (at Old Trafford), but (he was) completely OK.“I don’t tell players before the game that they will not play. I don’t walk through the dressing room and say ‘You don’t play, you don’t play’.
4Henderson and Klopp had a little scuffle during the Manchester United match but were all smiles after the Watford victory on Wednesday“You see that on the training ground, and as a player of Liverpool you know that you don’t play all the games. It’s a normal situation.“But because of the stories after the United game, after my reaction, I thought it made sense to tell [Jordan] it has nothing to do with that, because it was nothing. That’s it.”Local tensions will be more of an issue on Sunday as Liverpool head to Goodison Park with memories of their added-time victory over Everton at Anfield in December still relatively fresh in the mind.It was memorable for Toffees goalkeeper Jordan Pickford’s error, Divock Origi’s goal and Klopp’s 40-yard run onto the pitch to celebrate with goalkeeper Alisson Becker which earned the Reds boss an 8,000 fine.Klopp insists there will be no repeat performance at the weekend.
4Klopp’s side travel to Goodison Park to face Everton on Sunday“We all know my celebration. I will not do it again, but what happened that day was very surprising,” he added.“(Everyone thought) the ball was out, Virg (Virgil Van Dijk) already turned (away) after his wonderful volley, but Div stayed awake and scored that goal.“It was a very special moment, but it’s not the time, two days before the game, to say we want something like that again.”The defeat sent Everton’s results into a downward spiral to the extent there is a 33-point gap between them and their neighbours.Everton fans would love nothing more than to put a huge dent in Liverpool’s title aspirations.
4Klopp celebrated wildly in the last derby between the sides“Of course the fans of Everton don’t want us to win anything, and our fans are the same with them. It’s only very emotional, very passionate and for me that’s how football should be,” said Klopp.“I am not sure if it is possible to be more motivated than they were and we were that day! Of course the game was special.“We know it will be really tough. At Goodison they really support their team, so now let’s go there and use that atmosphere.“It will be loud, it will be wild, it will be everything, and we have to deliver that on the pitch as well.”
