      Klopp clanger feels like his version of Rafa’s infamous ‘FACT!’ rant – and proves Liverpool boss worried about Man City

      by

      IT felt like Jurgen Klopp’s version of Rafa Benitez’s infamous ‘FACT!’ rant.
      Yet, unlike Benitez, the Liverpool boss snapped with a whopping factual inaccuracy in the build-up to Manchester City’s visit to Anfield.

      When Klopp claimed that City had enjoyed a ‘two-week break for Covid reasons,’ having insisted his own team were suffering from mental and physical fatigue, it was a very peculiar own goal by the German.
      Needle between managers in a Premier League title race has been scarce in recent years —  so this little spat is a much-needed addition to the gaiety of the nation.
      The golden age of Arsene Wenger exchanging grenades with Sir Alex Ferguson and Jose Mourinho, or Benitez and Kevin Keegan exploding at Fergie, are all long gone.
      But Pep Guardiola reacted with incredulity — and no little hint of irritation — to Klopp’s jibe.

      Like a teacher admonishing a naughty child, he claimed he ‘didn’t expect’ this behaviour from Klopp — and that he would be having a conversation with him at Anfield.
      He didn’t think Klopp was the mind games type of guy.
      Certainly not like old sparring partner Mourinho. City’s players actually had just two days off after Christmas — when their training ground was closed due to a severe Covid outbreak and their visit to Everton on December 28 was postponed.
      The following weekend City travelled to Chelsea, minus five senior players in self-isolation, and proceeded to wipe the floor with Frank Lampard’s side. They led 3-0 at half-time after their best 45 minutes of the season.

      So for Klopp to bring up City’s Covid outbreak as an excuse for the leaders’ apparent freshness during their 13-game winning run, only served as a reminder of how impressive Guardiola’s men had been, without many key players, at Stamford Bridge.
      Klopp and Guardiola have gone head-to-head over seven of the past eight seasons — first with Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga — and then since 2016 with City and Liverpool.
      The German has now replaced Mourinho as the defining managerial rival of Guardiola’s career.
      Guardiola has never won at Anfield as City boss and has clearly been forced into an impressive reboot after conceding the title to Liverpool by 18 points last season.
      City can certainly boast a reinforced defensive steel, having not conceded a meaningful goal in nine Premier League matches — eight clean sheets plus a 90th-minute Chelsea consolation goal.
      Despite an intense professional rivalry, there has barely been a cross word between Guardiola and Klopp — until now.

      While their playing philosophies are poles apart, their mutual respect has been genuine.
      Yet City and Liverpool have grown to loathe each other as clubs, especially since the attack on City’s team bus by Liverpool fans before the 2018 Champions League quarter-final at Anfield.
      While Liverpool and supposedly bitter rivals Manchester United cosy up and collaborate over the Premier League’s ‘Project Big Picture’ and even a potential European Super League, the enmity between the league leaders and the champions is real.
      So it is nice of Klopp and Guardiola to join the party before tomorrow’s clash.
      Guardiola was quick to point out that, unlike Liverpool, City had not enjoyed a proper pre-season — due to their brief involvement in the latter stages of the Champions League in August, where they were defeated by Lyon in the quarter-finals.
      Guardiola said: “Of course he forgot it. We didn’t forget it — but they did.
      “It was a challenge — but we cannot complain when people are suffering much more than us all around the world. We are incredibly lucky and fortunate.
      “When you have a lot of Covid cases in the beginning,  injuries —  and when we had Covid before the Everton game — we said, ‘It is what it is’.

      Sixty days ago we were 12th and now we are first
      Pep Guardiola

      “We had 14 (fit senior) players, and we go there (to Chelsea).“It happened to us, Newcastle, to Atletico Madrid right now and, in the past, it happened to many clubs around the world.
      “Don’t look back, just say, ‘What’s next, how many players do we have?’  Prepare the game and if we win, continue, if we lose, continue.”
      Guardiola is adamant Liverpool will not be out of the title race even if they inflict a third straight home defeat on Klopp’s men — and open up a 10-point lead with a game in hand.
      He added: “Sixty days ago we were 12th and now we are first.
      “I’m very good —  but I can’t predict the future.”
      We might, though, predict a curt exchange of words between the rival managers tomorrow.

      Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez’s absence not only makes Liverpool worse at the back – it stops them scoring as many goals

      by

      WITHOUT Virgil Van Dijk and Joe Gomez, Liverpool are missing their two quickest defenders.
      Their absence has affected them scoring goals, not conceding them.

      Joe Gomez is another defender unlikely to play again this seasonCredit: Getty Images – Getty

      Since the game with Everton in October, they have not conceded more than ONE goal in a Premier League game.
      But they have not recaptured that free scoring ability this season after failing to net in four of their last six.
      The pace that both VVD and Gomez possess was central to Jurgen Klopp’s high intensity style.
      Last season, their recovery of the ball was phenomenal.

      They would be able to close down any threats on the half way line in an instant and turn it into an attack instantly.
      Meaning opposition defenders would still be pulled out of position, giving the likes of Salah, Mane and Firmino more space.

      Now with either Fabinho or Henderson slotting in not only are they missing their energy in midfield but also aggressive recoveries in defence.
      Forcing them to dominate the ball without any clear conviction in their play.

      Yet, that being said coming up against Man City could allow Liverpool to go back to old ways.
      Not dominating the ball at Anfield could be a blessing in disguise as they can play to their strengths on the counter-attack.

      Which is exactly what we saw in their wins against West Ham and Spurs.
      But make no mistake this is a must win game for Klopp and he may want to take notes.
      Because Guardiola has mastered the balance between defence and attack by adapting City’s play.
      While Klopp is still searching for it without his two defensive pillars.

      Southampton players will be in huge shock… defeats like the Man Utd 9-0 feel like a car crash

      by

      THERE is no lonelier place than a football pitch when you are on the receiving end of a proper thrashing.
      And while I’ve never suffered a 9-0 hiding, I was watching through my fingers as Southampton were stuffed at Manchester United – and felt their pain.

      Southampton were stunned by the 9-0 thrashing at the hands of Manchester UnitedCredit: AP:Associated Press

      I’ve had quite a few fives and sixes against Manchester City and Liverpool and the feeling of humiliation and self-doubt can feel crushing.
      There will have been senior players in that Saints team thinking to themselves ‘have I lost it?’ and ‘how can this be happening to me?’.
      And there will have been young kids thinking ‘Good God, this is the big boys league, will I ever really belong here?’.
      In my experience, players don’t chuck in the towel or hide.

      You probably run even harder, like a maniac, to make sure no one thinks you are slacking.
      You’ll have a fitness coach ready to tell you that you only ran 7km, instead of your usual 9km, and that is the last thing you want to hear after a thrashing.
      And you will always feel you could have done more to stop them — even a team as good as Pep Guardiola’s City.
      I doubt there were any rucks or rows in that away dressing room at Old Trafford.

      You will be more likely to have a slanging match with a team-mate after a narrow defeat.
      This will have left them in shock, like a car crash.
      And there will have been the mother of all awkward silences on the long journey home.
      Everyone will want to talk about what happened, to say ‘I was bad today’, but at the same time nobody will want to bring it up.
      Weirdly, the fact Southampton also lost 9-0 last season, at home to Leicester, and recovered so well, might make it easier to deal with.
      This one felt more freakish than the Leicester game. Back then the Saints were in a relegation battle, with boss Ralph Hasenhuttl under serious pressure.
      This time, against United, everything just went wrong.
      Teenager Alex Jankewitz is sent off in a matter of seconds, Che Adams has a goal disallowed for offside, then a second controversial red card for Jan Bednarek at 7-0.

      Those Southampton players are still going to have needed some lifting before facing Newcastle on Saturday.

      The senior pros will have had a few words with Jankewitz to make sure he is aware of the consequences when you are sent off early, especially against one of the Big Six clubs.
      But they will not have wanted to destroy his confidence, just to ensure the same thing does not happen again.
      Those Southampton players are still going to have needed some lifting before facing Newcastle on Saturday.
      The next game cannot come soon enough after a thrashing and that is why our 6-0 defeat to City in the FA Cup final was as bad as it gets because we spent all summer dwelling on it.
      You couldn’t even post a holiday snap on Instagram for fear of a battering.
      There will have been an inquest at Southampton’s training ground but it might not be as harsh as you’d imagine.
      When you’ve been hammered like that, the last thing a player needs is another hammering.
      You want a high-energy training session. As a striker, I’ve probably just had 90 minutes without a shot, so you want to do a lot of shooting.

      When Watford were beaten 8-0 by City early last season, manager Quique Sanchez Flores showed us a highlights reel of all the things the team had got right in previous games.
      I was only just off crutches after an injury but Quique texted me on their way home from Manchester and told me to make sure I, as captain, was in the team meeting to address the players, whereas usually those doing injury rehab would come in at a different time.
      In somes ways it is even more awkward to address the team when you haven’t been involved yourself, because you don’t want to feel you are patronising your team-mates.
      No one wants to be patronised after a humiliation.
      There is a flipside to all this and that is the amazing feeling of handing out a proper thrashing — and nothing can do more for your ego than that.
      The one that sticks out to me was when Watford were 2-0 down at half-time against Blackpool and we scored seven goals in the second half.
      It feels like you are three stone lighter and it is as if you’re playing Fifa on your Xbox.
      Everything feels automatic, you don’t feel you can misplace a pass or do anything wrong. Oh to experience that elusive feeling again!
      TACKLING RACISM – WRIGHT ‘N WRONGS
      The fight against racial abuse on social media can feel unremitting and never- ending at times like these.
      It feels as if BAME players are being abused on a daily basis — and that we are all expecting it.

      While watching Saints’ loss at Manchester United, when teenager Alex Jankewitz was sent off in the second minute, one of my pals in a WhatsApp group messaged to say, ‘how long before he gets racially abused online — ten minutes?’
      In fact it was even sooner than that.
      We have to keep putting pressure on social media platforms to act, we have to keep taking a knee and highlighting racism and — on the various committees I’m involved in — we have to keep devising ways to fight this evil.
      But what was so depressing for me this week was the court case involving the racial abuse of Ian Wright by an Irish teenager on social media.

      It is thoroughly depressing for all of us who suffer racist abuse.

      Wrighty has gone down the legal route and done everything by the book but still his abuser is not even given a criminal conviction, with the judge merely talking about his ‘naivety’ and ‘immaturity’.
      This belittles the problem, offers no deterrent, giving the offender his five minutes of infamy without genuine punishment. It is thoroughly depressing for all of us who suffer racist abuse.
      I’ve also read that Twitter are claiming that the monkey emoji does not violate their rules.
      Sure, that emoji can be used in a non-racist manner but, when it is directed at a black footballer, anyone with two brain cells knows the context is racist.
      So we will keep fighting — even if sometimes it feels as if we are banging our head against a wall.

      Ian Wright’s racist abuser should have been JAILED – we will get nowhere by pussyfooting around despicable insults

      by

      TEENAGER Patrick O’Brien was so upset at losing a Fifa video game, he sent Ian Wright 20 racist messages on Instagram.
      Wright recoiled. O’Brien later asked his forgiveness. Well he would, wouldn’t he?

      Ian Wright’s racist abuser has dodged jail after a court hearing in IrelandCredit: PA:Press Association

      His solicitor in Tralee District Court said he was a good boy in school. Well, he would, too, wouldn’t he?
      He pleaded that the judge should put him on probation. Which he did, didn’t he?
      Wright, an outstanding commentator and wonderful footballer, speaks more common sense than a dozen of those judges and solicitors.
      He said he accepts O’Brien’s apologies but that didn’t alter the fact that he was disappointed his abuser has hardly been inconvenienced by his punishment.

      I’ll say it for Wright. O’Brien should have been jailed.
      The judge had an opportunity to set a deterrent and a precedent, but instead brushed this vileness aside as if it meant nothing.
      And so, the abuse continues.
      In our most depressing week in football Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford, Axel Tuanzebe and Anthony Martial were all targeted, as was Southampton midfielder Alex Jankewitz.

      Humanity and social media at its worst. Yes I’m a black man and I live every day proud that I am. No one, or no one comment, is going to make me feel any different. So sorry if you were looking for a strong reaction, you’re just simply not going to get it here 👊🏾
      — Marcus Rashford MBE (@MarcusRashford) January 30, 2021

      Rashford described the abuse as “humanity and social media at its worst”.
      And I can assure you whatever you have read, it will only be the tip of the iceberg of what these young men, and many others, are being subjected to.
      Two things become clear to me. First, we will get nowhere by pussyfooting around racism.
      It is dehumanising, humiliating and cowardly and must be treated as a most serious crime, ranked alongside assault at least.
      Wright said: “An individual wished death on me because of my skin colour.
      “No judge’s claims of ‘naivety’ or ‘immaturity’ will be acceptable to us.”

      I advise social media companies to set about catching everyone or, better, forcing people to identify themselves to send messages.

      Second, it is time the Government got tough with online social media companies, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and the rest, to ensure they act responsibly.
      Twitter, which has more than 330 million users and is valued at more than £30billion, takes no liability for comments made on its platform.
      They insist they are just “enabling communications” rather than publishing content — a crucial distinction which means they are not liable for trolling or abuse.
      Tell that to anyone, myself included, who has been on the wrong end of violent abuse, threats of rape or murder, or racism.
      If you report someone on Twitter their account may be blocked. But the troll simply sets up another account, in another name with another email address, and the abuse continues.
      So, I advise social media companies that instead of making noises about independence of views and the difficulties in rooting out these creatures, you should set about catching everyone or, better, forcing people to identify themselves when they send messages.

      On the basis they think they can hide anonymously behind their keyboards, making it easy to identify them so they can be held responsible for their words will have the biggest deterrent of all.
      As for the abusers themselves, you are despicable.
      All 20 Premier League clubs have united and we are determined to make eliminating you, and your abuse, a priority.

      F1 may see races in Africa, insists new CEO Stefano Domenicali as sport looks to broaden horizons

      by

      FORMULA ONE could see new races in Africa according to new CEO Stefano Domenicali.
      The Italian revealed that the sport’s owners, Liberty Media, have been approached by interested parties looking to put on races in northern and South Africa.

      Domenicali also revealed that F1 are still in negotiations over a race in Miami, with more races in the USA.
      He said: “There is a discussion in place with Miami, that is true.
      “I can tell you that our strategy for the future is to have more presence in the US with more than one GP.

      “Austin has been very important in the last years of our calendar and it will be for the future and we are discussing the renewal of the agreement with them.

      “Miami is a place we are looking at and there is big interest from both parties to be there and let’s work together to see if we can confirm that.
      “There are other areas that I can tell you have shown interest that is in northern Africa and South Africa.
      “This is something that’s very important I think in terms of having new places or old places with heritage back in Formula One.
      “We don’t have to forget that we had also lost some European races that now are showing the interest to be considered again.”

      F1 will again press ahead with their record-breaking 23-race calendar despite the pandemic.
      While the situation remains flexible and the Australian and Chinese GPs have been bumped from their original dates, Domenicali says he is confident that F1 will get their season completed.
      ‘RIGHT BALANCE’
      But he also admitted that with more interest in new races, there needs to be a limit.
      He added: “What is going to happen in the future is we need to decide what is the right balance in terms of the number of races.
      “What are the areas that we need to strategically invest – for teams, for the interests of broadcasters, for the interests of media, for sponsors’ interests – and decide what will be the right way to go.

      “We know that 23 races is at the top end of the scale of what we are doing today.
      “If we are doing a good product you may say that if the value is high you may reach the same kind of business without being too numerous in terms of races.
      “If you are able to make the right choices, I think that will be the way to go. It may not be in the shortest time but that is the target.”

      Ruben Dias is Vincent Kompany replacement Man City desperately needed, claims club legend Richard Dunne

      by

      RUBEN DIAS is the defensive leader Manchester City have craved to fill Vincent Kompany’s boots.
      And the Portuguese centre-back can help them finally smash the Anfield hoodoo which has haunted the club for the last four decades.

      Ruben Dias is the centre-half Manchester City have been crying out forCredit: Getty Images – Getty

      That is the view of former Etihad captain Richard Dunne, who has been hugely impressed by the winning mentality Dias has brought to the club.
      The former Republic of Ireland international, 41, was in the line-up when City last triumphed at Liverpool, a 2-1 win under Kevin Keegan in May 2003.
      And he feels they have a great chance to put the record straight on Sunday, with £64.5million rock Dias at the heart of their defence.
      The former Benfica man, 23, has helped CIty keep 13 clean sheets out of the 19 Premier League games he has played.

      In other competitions there have been a further five shut-outs from seven starts.
      In fact, City have conceded only four goals in their last 20 games — and much of that has been down to Dias.

      Vincent Kompany was never really replaced at City – until nowCredit: PA:Press Association

      Dunne said: “I feel like City have been crying out for a leader since Vincent Kompany left.
      “Even towards the end of his time at the club, when he didn’t play as often, you’d say it was a bit of a weak spot for City.

      “But Dias coming in has changed all that.
      “He’s the talker in that defence, the one who gets them organised, even though he’s younger than Aymeric Laporte and John Stones.”
      When City shipped five goals at home to Leicester in just their second game of the season, there were fears boss Pep Guardiola’s men were in decline.
      But Dias joined the following day and made it clear right from the start what he was all about.

      Richard Dunne has been hugely impressed with DiasCredit: Sportsfile – Subscription
      Dunne said: “I remember watching his first interview and he said he was a winner — and you can see that he is.
      “He’s made a huge impact on the team since he came in.
      “He seems to take great pleasure in clean sheets, he really celebrates them at the full-time whistle.
      “City’s defenders like to play out from the back but with Dias his first thought is to clear the ball. With him, they are not making errors any more.
      “Dias has also had a huge impact on John Stones, although he’s the type of player who can make anyone that plays alongside him look better.
      “They just look really strong defensively and they’ll be full of confidence for Sunday now.
      “I don’t think Dias and Virgil van Dijk are similar in terms of styles of play, but in terms of the impact they’ve made you could certainly compare them.”

      City know they will be in for a big test against the Reds, despite the indifferent recent form of the defending champions.
      But surely there will never be a better time to lay their Anfield hoodoo to rest, with no fans on the Kop and Jurgen Klopp’s men failing to score in their last three home matches.
      Amazingly, the victory Dunne enjoyed there in 2003 was the only one the club has managed in almost 40 years.
      The one before that was way back on Boxing Day 1981, when Asa Hartford, Kevin Reeves and Kevin Bond scored in a 3-1 win.
      Dunne said: “It’s mad that it’s been 18 years since City last won at Anfield considering everything they’ve achieved in the meantime.
      “I remember the game well, two goals from Nicolas Anelka, one of them late on, and Peter Schmeichel making a lot of saves.
      “City have given themselves a bit of breathing space with this winning run they’ve been on but you’ve got to say it’s a must-win game for Liverpool now.
      “This would be the perfect time for City to set the record straight and get that win.”

      Harry Maguire reveals he was fined by Man Utd team-mate Nemanja Matic for using phone – despite being on fines committee

      by

      HARRY MAGUIRE has revealed how he was hit in the pocket by Manchester United’s own disciplinarian – Nemanja Matic.
      The Red Devils captain is joined by the experienced Serbian midfielder on the players’ fines committee at Old Trafford.

      And fines chief Matic, 32, decided Maguire was guilty of using his phone in a no go area at the club’s Carrington HQ which led to a pay-out, something the centre-back still disputes.
      Maguire told the official Utd Podcast: “I’ve been fined once which is still debatable. It’s crazy but I let Nemanja do it. I took the hit and put the money in the pot.
      “When you meet in the gym before training for pre-activation you are not allowed your phone. We did pre-activation, I didn’t have my phone. 
      “But then you go outside to put your boots on and you aren’t allowed to go on your phone in that period. I had my phone and carried it out with me.

      “I wasn’t on my phone because straight after training I was going to put my trainers back on and go up for a massage instead of coming all the way back. 
      “I could have gone straight to a massage and Nemanja fined me for that. He’s strict with everyone so I’m happy. I can set the standard.”
      Maguire and Matic keep it simple when it comes to the fining system for their team-mates.
      And by now, you would think United players would be used to getting penalties!

      The England defender, 27, added: “We have lates for training, meetings and travel. They are the three big ones.
      “We mainly have one set fine but double on match day. I just like to keep it simple. If you have too many fines it ends up too messy.
      “We have a good fining list this year. I don’t know who is top of it. They have been good. Everyone has been on time, everyone comes early.”
       “That’s the aim and aspirations of joining this club.”

      Harry Maguire says Man Utd winning Premier League title would silence rival fan taunts – but insists he enjoys the hate

      Maguire knows United are either loved or hated across the country   following the glory years under Sir Alex Ferguson and says lifting his first trophy as captain will be all the sweeter.
      When asked by ex-United defender David May if he enjoys the fact everyone hates the club, Maguire said: “I enjoy it. I don’t mind it at all.
      “When I lift my first trophy at this club it will put a bigger smile on my face knowing there’s a lot of people not wanting us to do that.
      “We are the most talked about club in the world. A lot of people don’t want us to do well.

      “A lot of people want us to fail and that’s the world that we live in. I’m pretty used to it now.”

      But Maguire, who cost £80million from Leicester in the summer of 2019, is demanding more from his team-mates to deliver silverware at Old Trafford.

      Maguire, 27,  told the Utd Podcast: “I’ve felt from the moment I walked into this club we have improved a lot.
