Summary

From the moment Jurgen Klopp walked into the media room at Melwood this afternoon, you could tell this was going to be a good press conference. Unsurprisingly, the Liverpool manager is asked first whether he watched Manchester City’s win at rivals Manchester United – he did – and what he made of it. He also provides an update on the condition – if that’s the right word – on Mohamed Salah after the in-form forward’s trip to New York, and the fitness of Fabinho and Dejan Lovren. Klopp is also quizzed on his summer transfer plans, in which he categorically rules out a move for one reported target, as well as talking about Huddersfield Town’s visit to Anfield on Friday, and this most close-run of title races, and why this season is only the start for his record-breaking side. Also on the agenda is the ‘machine’ James Milner, the inclusion of four Liverpool players in the PFA Team of the Year and the importance of Simon Mignolet and his fellow squad players. And, perhaps best of all, what advice Klopp would give to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.  For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.
