No word from Julen Lopetegui, who can now concentrate on Premier League survival. But Andy Hunter’s report is in, and here it is. Thanks for reading this MBM. Nighty night, and stay wrapped up warm.
A smiling Jurgen Klopp speaks to the BBC. “[I enjoyed it] a lot. A lot. It is a pretty rare feeling, it feels like ages ago that we had that feeling. We had to fight hard at the end, but that’s the nature of the competition. It feels great for the moment. It was the reaction we wanted to see, and the boys delivered. [Harvey Elliott] was good, especially with an early knock on the ankle. The goal was exceptional. But I had a few men of the match today, just the others didn’t score. It was really good passion. A cup game. Great! It is my job to help the boys, and find a formation they can feel. But on the pitch the boys have to make it. I liked the game a lot.”
