Liverpool Fans Can Now Forget Gerard’s Slip – Klopp

Liverpool boss, Jurgen Klopp has said the bad memories of Steven Gerrard’s sad slip against Chelsea can now be long forgotten because Chelsea got beat 2-0 at Anfield to head back to the top of the EPL table.

An header from Sadio Mane and a worldie from Mohamed Salah in the second half sealed the victory for the reds who were hoping to kill their opponent’s title dreams just like they did years ago under Mourinho.

Klopp said, “At this point, we can finally close the slipping book — Robbo slipped and nothing happened, so it’s not a Liverpool thing,”

“Done. All good.

“I am so proud of what the boys did, and I loved, loved, loved the atmosphere — it was outstanding what the people did. You could feel it, they are all on their toes, so let’s try to do that seven more times and then we see what we get for it.”

On Salah’s goal, he said, “It blew me away,”

“I was really happy. I saw it really well; maybe I saw it first the ball would go in. It was a really, really outstanding finish. And I don’t want to minimise that but I loved the first goal exactly the same.

“It immediately reminded me of the 4-3 against Borussia Dortmund, only Hendo [Jordan Henderson] instead of Millie [James Milner] and Sadio instead of Dejan [Lovren], but a similar situation with this wonderful cross in that area and really good team play.

“The performance was really good, but to really make it happen you need the goals and we got them, all good.”
