James Milner:

"It was one of those games at the end of the season where you get in front like that and you take your foot off the gas slightly and you get punished at this level." #lfc [lfc]
Milner: "And that's what happened; you have to be at absolutely 100 per cent and obviously we weren't. But it says a lot about the boys to be 4-2 down and to keep going until the end and get the two to get it level."
Milner: "And we had good chances to go and win it. Entertaining for the neutral, disappointing not to win but the boys kept fighting until the end, you could see that."
Milner: "It wasn't our best performance, we know we should have done better with the goals we conceded, but the fight was always there."

Fabinho on Liverpool fans:

"When I arrived, I expected to hear 'You’ll Never Walk Alone' and for the fans to sing songs. I loved all that. But nothing prepares you for what it’s like live. How every action on the pitch gets a reaction in the stands." #lfc [the players' tribune] Image
Fabinho: "So, after every tackle, pressure, every possible foul, I was turning around and paying attention as the fans were going crazy. Man, I was fascinated. I was just admiring them. That noise, that passion. I’d never seen anything like it. The fans are part of the team."
Fabinho: "They inform how we play. 'Heavy metal football' doesn’t work without them. They are the ones pushing us into every move. They never let us stop. Even in those moments when the ball is stuck in midfield and it seems like nothing is going right."

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain on Liverpool's success:

“I think we’ve done a bit of it all. We’ve stayed at the top level with the mindset we’ve set.‌ The first season was the year we realised we could really achieve something special." #lfc [mirror] Image
Oxlade-Chamberlain: "We were winning games 4-0, 5-0, Mo [Salah] couldn’t stop scoring and Hendo gave us the belief we could win any game. The second season was when you saw a really big jump up when we just missed out on the league that year, by one point."
Oxlade-Chamberlain: "And that was when the team felt unstoppable. We had some tough times, we lost Virgil [van Dijk], Joey G [Gomez], we had to really dig in and fight for the Champions League. It’s not always been plain sailing through the success."

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain on his plans post Liverpool:

"I still want success, I’ve had a taste of it here, they’ve been the best years ever. So, if by any chance, I can have another sniff of achieving anything like that again then I’d bite your hand off." #lfc [mirror] Image
Oxlade-Chamberlain: "I think I need to go and play somewhere as consistently as possible. They say you’re coming into your peak at 29, so I want to go and test myself, play consistently. I’m still hungry, I still feel I have a lot of games left in me and a lot of energy left."
Oxlade-Chamberlain: "I don’t like to say a point to prove, but that’s always been my attitude. From when I went to Arsenal, I felt like that. When I went to Liverpool, that’s how I felt. When I walked through the door, I felt like I needed to do that. It’s the same again."

Jurgen Klopp on Naby Keita:

"Naby is an exceptional footballer, what a player he is. Maybe one or two injuries too many just hindered him from getting really through." #lfc [lfc] Image
Klopp: "But if you go through – and I would really recommend that – if you go through our really big games of Liverpool FC you might be surprised how often Naby was in the starting line-up and how often he played incredibly well."
Klopp: "It was a bit of a shame, when it was really going well then a little injury here, a little muscle thing there. That was not too cool and that is probably what people might remember as well, but in his moment he is world-class, without a shadow of a doubt."

Fenway Sports Group president Mike Gordon on Jorg Schmadtke:

“Firstly, I would like to welcome Jorg to Liverpool in the knowledge that he will bring a wealth of knowledge and experience into a role in which such qualities can only be beneficial both to him and us." #lfc [lfc] Image
Gordon: "Jorg will work with our football operations department as it continues to provide support for Jürgen Klopp, in keeping with our ongoing endeavour to keep growing and developing the club in all areas."
Gordon: "At the same time as we welcome Jorg, we must also bid a fond farewell to Julian Ward, who has served us with unstinting diligence, fortitude and energy in a number of roles, the most recent one being sporting director."
