I have witnessed this club go from doubters to believers, and from believers to champions. It took hard work and I always did everything I could to help the club get there. Nothing makes me prouder than that.
Us crumbling to yet another defeat this season was very painful and not what our fans deserve. I want to see Liverpool go back to being the heavy metal attacking team that opponents fear and back to being a team that wins trophies. That is the football I know how to play and that is the identity that needs to be recovered and kept for good. It cannot be negotiable and everyone that joins this club should adapt to it.
Winning some games here and there is not what Liverpool should be about. All teams win games.
Liverpool will always be a club that means a great deal to me and to my family. I want to see it succeed for long after I have moved on.
As I’ve always said, qualifying to next season’s Champions League is the bare minimum and I will do everything I can to make that happen.
Jurgen Klopp offers one tip to Liverpool in regards post Salah era:
“This specific kind of player is irreplaceable. There will be a void that somebody will fill. But the specific player, Mo Salah? I’m not sure there is even another one existing out there.
“So, if it is impossible, why should you try? I’m not in the role to advise anyone. But just bring players in and play the kind of football which can be successful!
“That is pretty much everything. We lost Sadio Mané. We could sing a song about him. What a player he was! Bobby Firmino - oh my god. On the day Gini went, probably none of you thought, ‘that was a big miss’ until he was not there anymore and then you thought: ‘Oh!’ He was the combination of technique, power, tactical discipline.
“Then Hendo left. Some thought: ‘Good! It’s time!’ Milly went. That’s just how it is. But other players came in: Macca [Alexis Mac Allister], Ryan [Gravenberch], Dom [Szoboszlai]. That’s how it is.
“Don’t try to chase the shadows. Find a new way and play!”

🇭🇺 Dominik Szoboszlai created the most chances (4) in the game between #LFC and Man Utd today.
Don’t really understand the criticism.
His energy is so important to this team.
Constantly ran up and down the pitch, tracked back when needed to minimise the impact of United’s counter attacks.
