Jurgen Klopp: Liverpool’s crosstown rivals, Everton are on the verge of relegation. The Reds manager Klopp was asked if he would miss the Merseyside derby if the Toffees were relegated at the end of the season.
“Of course (I will miss it). I think we’re all used to having two clubs in the city playing in the Premier League,” the German replied.
“It’s a bit different this week because we played Manchester United the other night, but usually the full week before you play Everton there are just talks about the derby.”
LFC are in the midst of a season where they are currently in competition for all four trophies the English game has to offer. The gaffer was asked to describe the situation the club are in.
“It’s an incredibly tough situation and we play pretty much all the time. We love the situation we are in,” Jurgen Klopp explained.
“You cannot plan on being in everything. We won one competition, that’s great, but there are still three more competitions to go. We are looking forward to everything that is coming up.”
When asked about the impact Spanish midfielder Thiago has had on the team, Klopp was all praises.
“Thiago wanted to join us and he knew how we play and he knew he will fit in.
He’s a real football person, he thinks a lot about football.
“Thiago only had one problem, he was injured, that didn’t help, but there was never a question about whether he would fit,” he said.
