Jurgen Klopp admits Liverpools unsettled forward line is affecting ... (Planet Sport)

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp accepts Mohamed Salah is suffering from being in an unsettled forward line and is having to learn a different way of playing.

"When Darwin is playing there, he is obviously more high up, going in behind. "There is no light at the end of the tunnel - there are finals and there are trophies at the end of the tunnel. We have to work hard. "Oh yes, of course he is suffering. "If you had scored hundreds of goals in the past and now you are not scoring then that is the first thing you would think about but that is not our problem at the moment. "That is not cool but we cannot expect just to be back to our best and win 5-0 and go to the next game.

It is all good if they would all be in and we could build something, but we haven’t been able to do that yet.’ That’s not Darwin’s game, he wants to have other balls at his feet and he is a real handful there. ‘Now we have Cody as a really important asset, like a connector, he can play the wing and the centre as well. It is specific, offensive play that requires a lot of work and lot of information, and not always obvious information. I’m happy if he scores one, and in another game someone else scores one and we keep a clean sheet.’ The Egyptian will spearhead Liverpool’s attack at Brighton tomorrow and his manager is looking for big things.

Even when Sadio was there, he was dropping in moments, and that is not Darwin’s game. This situation is not perfect, but the basis of the last two games [a 0-0 Premier League draw with “It is how to work, how to move, obvious information where you create a feeling about where your teammate is where you can pass the ball, no look or whatever. The only thing I know is the better and clearer you behave in your down moments, the better it will be in the high moments after that. Usually, you have a real basis you build on and that is what we don’t have. So that is not cool but we cannot expect just to be back to our best and win 5-0 and go to the next game. Everyone suffers [when it is not like that], that is clear.” Asked if the lack of continuity within his forward line is harming the Egyptian, he replied with a smile: “Oh yeah, of course.

'Consistency is the most difficult thing': Jürgen Klopp cautions ... (The Guardian)

Jürgen Klopp is intrigued to see how league rivals 'deal with little drops' before Liverpool visit Brighton in the FA Cup on Sunday.

But I can’t talk here like we’ve won them already so we have to fight, be positive and work hard and make the next step. So far we’ve not given them lots of reasons but we are still in two cup competitions and we’ll not give up in the league. But it is pretty likely it will get tougher for everybody up there to stay in the league, to qualify for Europe, Champions League and especially to become champions. It will be absolutely difficult because of the quality of the teams, the money around and the quality of the coaches.” Progress in those competitions is reliant on getting past Brighton onSunday and Real Madrid in Europe – the first leg of their last-16 tie is on 21 February. “Consistency is really the most difficult thing to have in football and we will see how that goes for other teams,” Klopp said.

Jurgen Klopp's awkward blunder and correcting Jamie Redknapp ... (Manchester Evening News)

The Manchester Evening News spoke to former Manchester City man Nedum Onuoha on his ventures into football media.

"Jamie was just making a mistake but Jill, because she was on there for the first time, and technically so was I, she was just going to let it go but it's important people know who's who," he explains. Guardian Football Weekly might be very different to when I'm on ESPN which might be very different to when I'm on the BBC but all the while it's still a chance for me to be myself and just talk in a different way to a different audience. "So from when he said that my first instinct, and this is because of the broadcasting side, I thought that's going to be really good content. "Football is my specialist subject and to be lucky enough to be given the chance to talk about it and stuff which I always wanted to say as a player - that's easy. Onuoha labels the session "very very impressive" and giving back to his local community is something else he likes to do following his retirement. I think the key is understanding what the show is, understanding the people in that and just build the relationship. When someone asks me what I think about something, well this is what I think and from there we can have conversations because I love having conversations with people about the sport." But for me, the biggest emotion was the sense of relief that we stayed up because when we're 1-0 down at half-time and we're going down, no way did I think I'd be able to walk off the field afterwards knowing that we'd stayed up and then I look at it and everybody in the stadium is happy. He continues: "In terms of the punditry stuff that I do, if I'm not enjoying it I just won't do it. Unlike the tried and tested pundits - some of whom Onuoha believes do the job just to stay involved in the game rather than for enjoyment - Onuoha only takes on gigs when and if he is happy doing them. I thought somewhere there was going to be misery and I didn't know which side it was going to be. Having been there at the start of the season I'd seen the work that had been put in to get that opportunity.
