But now, we have to show a reaction and I know our people want to see that. Arsenal were dominant, but in the end, Everton had really good chances before they scored and they could have scored in other moments as well, so we prepare for the team we saw against Arsenal. “I don’t understand why we talk about one player. The boys have delivered a lot of great moments. “And you could see that in the last game. Virgil (Van Dijk), I don’t think is that close, but we will work on that. “The players are back in training in different stages. We have to see.

A frustrated Jurgen Klopp has sprung to the defence of Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson amid criticism from some over his recent performances.

"When you have changes up front, you want a settled midfield where it's clear what is happening. The last season was long ago, we try to manage things like workload as much as we can. We don't turn into bad people overnight, or we lost the football brain or stuff like that. "People don't want to hear it because it sounds like an excuse," Klopp laughed. "When he's not playing, you miss that. At 32, Henderson is the oldest of the bunch, behind only 37-year-old bench option James Milner.

Jamie Carragher on Liverpools season to date: Its never been as poor as this. Its not just the results, its the performances. Liverpool havent been unlucky, ...

There has been in the past, and that's something Sean Dyche has to get into himself and fix. A lot of that's down to a mentality, and not in terms of working hard, but at times there's almost a fear to win from Everton players. But Liverpool know they've got someone special, it's been a poor season for everybody concerned, but Klopp's still the man for me." "Some of the performances have been pretty shambolic. They've run so far, so long, so fast, and had so much quality in games over the last few years, but it's been a huge drop-off and you can't dress it up as anything else. It's not just the results, it's the performances.

After an era of high-performance from Liverpool, they have found themselves 10th in the Premier League table and out of both domestic cups this season with ...

Klopp is one of the greatest managers of the Premier League era and you simply cannot sack him after winning the title, Champions League, FA Cup, EFL Cup, reaching four other major finals and twice missing out on the title by a single point. The revamped front line has yet to click, partly because Jota and Diaz have been out injured for a long time, and it will not happen overnight. Are we are reaching the end of another seven-year cycle? At the moment, Liverpool are in such a state of transition that I would make Everton slight favourites to win the Merseyside derby on Monday night.

Sportsmail looks at how Jurgen Klopp can undergo a rebuild at Liverpool - including being forced to cut some of his biggest success stories to help land key ...

But even given his under appreciated ability to play just about anywhere on a football pitch to a competent level, he is another of Klopp's ageing stars and at 37 the end of his top-flight career is nigh. A curious feature about Firmino is that he has never scored more than 15 league goals in a season for Liverpool and his strike rate this term of seven from 13 makes it one of his better campaigns. He looks to have plenty of talent but he has been wildly inconsistent and his first-team appearances have become fewer - playing just three minutes in the top flight since October. He may not be part of the long term plans as he approaches 30-years-old but he most certainly will be crucial short term, and with a contract until 2026 there is no pressure to sell. Joined Liverpool for £60million in the summer of July from RB Leipzig but never quite lived up to the excitement of his transfer fee. Not only is he one of the best at the club, he is arguably one of the best in the world. At 25 years old with a contract until 2027 there is no need nor pressure to sell one of the Reds best defender - and that's before you factor in his usefulness for home grown quotas. The Dutchman is still Liverpool's best defender but he has been starting to struggle with injuries in the latter part of his career and at 31 is now going to start losing transfer market value. There is enough cover at the club to ensure it would not be too much of a risky move. But this could be a transitional transfer window for the club, and the 24-year-old's past form has earned him a chance to prove his poor form could just be down to an 'off-season'. Robertson has been essential at the back and going forward for the Reds and at 28 years old with a contract until 2026, there is simply no need to axe one of Klopp's trusted lieutenants. He may be Irish but he also counts as a home grown and that is a major factor to keeping him on board.

We have to make sure it is clear in the game as well," Klopp said. "I believe the better behaved in lower moments the quicker you get into good moments again. "It's a time we can show that the club is really special.

Indeed, he claimed that the question about the days off would have come sooner in Germany, where he implied there is a fixation on the 'old-school' approach of using days off as a kind of reward. “We played bad at Wolves, next day we came in, made the analysis and spoke to each other and then gave them two days off because it is a very long time between Saturday and Monday (the following week).
