“We have no one else to blame” — Jurgen Klopp

Liverpool obviously did not see their defeat to Manchester United coming before the Red Devils did the comeback to haunt their Merseyside visitors late on in extra time of the FA Cup and neither did manager Jurgen Klopp.

The German who had the one chance to inspire Liverpool to a historically quadruple in his last season with the Reds, faced what was a shocker in the last minute thanks to an Amad Diallo strike past goalie, Caiomhin Kelleher to make it 4-3 on the day.

This was after Liverpool had taken the lead twice, first in the first half after going down to a Scott McTominay lead, and in first half of extra time thanks to Harvey Elliott. However, the Merseyside team struggled to maintain control of the game and then suffered a rather cruel fate at Old Trafford.

Speaking of the game, Jurgen Klopp rued the missed chances while the game was at 1-2.

He said in his post-match interview;

“We could have won the game and we would have deserved it. But United deserved it as well. At 2-1 up we had so many chances to kill the game. Last pass not right, or in a rush in some moments. The rest is already history, if you want.”

Jurgen Klopp goes on to insist that;

“The longer the game goes, the decision-making does not get any better. Congratulations to United, going to the semi-final, we have a game less, or have two games less, and we try to use that in the next few weeks,”

The sad defeat sees Liverpool exit the FA Cup while their arch rivals are set to meet Coventry City at Wembley.
