Liverpool headlines as Klopp contemplates ‘unthinkable’ in title race (Echo)

Here are the Liverpool evening headlines on Tuesday, June 23. Salah and Robertson boost but double blow confirmed Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson are likely to be fit for Liverpool’s next game against Crystal Palace on Wednesday evening. The Reds are marching towards a first league title in 30 years after a goalless draw on Sunday. Salah sat out the game on the bench, while Robertson wasn’t part of the 20-man squad. But when asked about Salah’s fitness, Jurgen Klopp said on Tuesday afternoon: “(He) trained yesterday completely normal, will train today completely normal, then he is available. What I will make of the line-up then, you will have to wait! “It’s the same with Robbo; he trained yesterday as well completely normal, so that is the same.” Klopp wouldn’t confirm however, if the duo would be in the starting lineup. Joel Matip and James Milner were both ruled out of tomorrow’s game. Read More

Klopp makes Liverpool and Man City claim Liverpool have produced the “unthinkable” by being so far ahead of rivals Manchester City, according to Jurgen Klopp. City have been in fine form since returning to Premier League action with back-to-back victories against Arsenal and Burnley, scoring eight goals. It has helped shorten Liverpool’s lead at the top to 20 points, which remains the most significant lead in top-flight history before this season. It is an achievement Klopp is not overlooking, and ahead of their meeting with Crystal Palace on Wednesday he took time to celebrate it. “The only thing I realised when I watched the game last night was how is it possible that anybody is 20 points ahead of this team?” he said on Tuesday. “That’s pretty much unthinkable actually. So we must have done obviously a couple of things really well and right that we can have this situation. “I don’t think about City catching us, I think about Crystal Palace. “What I mean is I’m really only concerned by what we are doing and what we have to do in the next game."

Exclusive: Sir Martin Broughton on future FSG ‘exit strategy’ The FSG era of Liverpool is proving a successful one. After collecting the Champions League last season, Liverpool are on course for the Premier League crown, their first league title in 30 years. Now, one of the main players involved in the transition from Tom Hicks and George Gillett to FSG, Sir Martin Broughton, has been speaking on a variety of topics including the deal to sell the club to the current owners. “It’s one of the best,” he said when asked if it was the greatest deal he’d ever struck. “It’s so different to most of the others I’ve been involved in. “Some of them have been extremely successful, but in the end in a way which is quite hard to evaluate. Because you buy a corporation, merge it into your existing corporation. After a time, it’s hard to know what the financial benefits are. You just know the whole is a great deal better than it was before."
