Jurgen Klopp appears to be still in agony about Liverpool’s inability to score against one of Manchester United’s worst teams in years.
Three days after the stalemate at Anfield on Sunday, Klopp is still thinking about it. So much so that he felt compelled to bring it up when his team advanced to the Carabao Cup semi-finals.
In reality, United played carefully and primarily in their own half, with the backline leading one of their greatest performances of the season by preventing every Liverpool assault.

Surprisingly, few teams, especially ones in poor form, would travel to Merseyside intending to sit back and allow their opponents stroll the ball into the net, but that appears to be what Klopp was anticipating.
After Liverpool missed their chance to rise to the top of the Premier League standings, Virgil van Dijk and Klopp went on to criticize Manchester United for how they set up in the game.Tonight, the German couldn’t help but mention United once again, addressing reporters after Liverpool’s quarter-final triumph (as recounted by Lewis Steele):

‘I’m wondering if I’ve ever witnessed that.’ The Sky studio adored Cody Gakpo’s post-match interview.
After Liverpool’s 5-1 Carabao Cup quarter-final triumph against West Ham United on Wednesday evening, Cody Gakpo startled members of Sky Sports’ studio with a post-match gesture featuring Curtis Jones.
Jones was named man of the match for his performance in the sweeping win against the Hammers, in which he scored two high-quality individual goals to mount a claim for a starting berth against Arsenal in the Premier League on Saturday evening.
Regular first-team opportunities have been difficult for him to come by for the 22-year-old, who has fallen further down the pecking order with the additions of Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, Wataru Endo, and Wataru Endo this summer.
Given his chance on Wednesday, Jones impressed in the absence of Mac Allister and Gravenberch, and he will be hoping for a sustained run in the side during the holiday season.
“I am really proud of you. You work really hard, but no one sees it since it is done behind closed doors. Continue on.” Jones said, “I respect you, every time, brother.”
