And then there was one. One more match remaining with Jurgen Klopp as Liverpool manager.
The German is a self-proclaimed disciple of ‘heavy metal football’, and that was in evidence tonight as the Reds drew 3-3 away to Aston Villa in a thoroughly bonkers match in the Midlands.
At numerous intervals throughout the night, the travelling supporters burst into extended renditions of “I’m so glad that Jurgen is a red”, making sure to serenade the 56-year-old as much as possible before his final game in charge on Sunday.

After the final whistle, Klopp walked over to the Liverpool fans, who broke into the chant in his name yet again, and took a minute to soak up the appreciation, clutching his heart and waving to the crowd in gratitude.
His reaction is bound to tug at the heartstrings of every Red, with one last dance next weekend and one final opportunity to let this man know how much he’s loved.

Van Dijk has become a burden on the team, and it is better for him to play in the second or third division league. I cannot believe that this player plays for Liverpool. He is the cause of all the losses for the team. It is better to search for an alternative who is not strong enough to protect Liverpool’s defence. Go outside, that is enough.
I agree and every time he takes off Endo we fall to s***..he is a great player and does his job very well
