Liverpool face Manchester United in the fourth round of the FA Cup this weekend, just one week after their pretty dire 0-0 at Anfield in the Premier League.

Since then, the Reds have ended their 68-match unbeaten run at home after losing 1-0 to Burnley on Thursday evening.

Here’s what Jürgen Klopp had to say to the press ahead of this weekend’s clash.


On Klopp taking responsibility

“We go again. No doubt about that. I said what I thought after the game. When things don’t work out as we want them to then there’s an issue. The issue is that I didn’t tell the boys things clearly enough. I have to change the way I tell the boys (these things).

“Confidence isn’t a natural thing. Some things have to work out for us to build confidence. But it’s not like we can’t find it again – we have to work. I don’t have five million different words for the same issue, but we didn’t get the results we wanted for a few weeks now.”


On their gameplan

“We want to win the game, that’s clear. The game will be decided on the night. That’s how we will make the line-up.”

“When you don’t like a situation, you have to change the right things. I like to say and see that in each match there is a chance. I spoke to my players last night and will do again today, it’s not for a press conference what I will say to them.”


On clarifying his ‘I don’t make transfer decisions’ comment from Thursday

“Of course somebody else is making decisions! It’s always been like that! We discuss pretty much on a daily basis, I make recommendations but I cannot spend the money. That’s not how it is. I don’t make those decisions and I never did.

“I don’t want to confuse anyone. I just said what I said. Hopefully we can clarify it now.”
