Embarrassing as Dejan Kulusevski has rubbished Jurgen Klopp’s suggestion.
Dejan Kulusevski has rubbished Jurgen Klopp’s suggestion of replaying Tottenham’s clash against Liverpool, remarking that it arose out of their frustration at losing the game.
Luiz Diaz’s goal in the first half of the clash was incorrectly ruled out for offside, with VAR failing to intervene to overturn the call.
The PMGOL subsequently released the audio from the incident, with the tapes clearly demonstrating that there was a miscommunication between the referee and VAR, with the latter thinking that the goal had been given on the field (Sky Sports).
A few days after the incident, Jurgen Klopp controversially stated that a fair resolution would be to have the game replayed (Guardian).
Klopp’s statement was met with widespread criticism for his comments (Mirror), and it has since been reported that the Premier League have made it clear that there is no prospect of replaying the fixture (Football Insider).
The Liverpool drama should be put in the past
Kulusevski has said that while he understands Liverpool’s frustration, refereeing mistakes are part of the game.
When he was asked about Klopp’s comments, the Tottenham man told Fotbollskanalen: “I don’t think anything will happen. Mistakes happen in every game.
“It was just a mistake and they were very angry that they got zero points even though they played a good game, and I understand them. That (that a match is replayed due to a ruling) has probably never happened and I don’t think it will happen.
“There are so many mistakes every match, it’s absolutely insane. Sure, it was a big mistake in a top game and they were obviously very disappointed because it affected the game. But I can find mistakes in every match. So it’s part of the game and you move on.
“We were really good. We played really well when it was eleven against eleven. Then they got a lot better when they got a man sent off and we got a little worse.
“Then they got another man sent off. Both red cards were fair, 100 per cent. Then we had a hard time scoring a goal and in the last second, they scored an own goal. It was incredibly heavy for Liverpool and really important for us.”
Spurs Web Opinion
I think it is time for everyone to put this incident to bed and move on. The important thing is that VAR has learned from the error and the communication protocol has been changed in order to avoid this happening again in the future.

But instead of letting his condition define him, Isaac has become a beacon of hope, proving that nothing can hold back his love for life and the beautiful game.

‘The ball doesn’t want to go in’ – Nunez feels goal drought down to ‘bad luck’
Darwin Nunez has scored just once in his last 13 appearances in all competitions, and knows he must raise his performance levels.
Darwin Nunez conceded he has not been performing “as well as I should”, but has felt like “the ball doesn’t want to go in” during his recent goal drought.
Nunez is underperforming his 10.55 xG, while he boasts a modest 11.11% shot conversion rate.
The Uruguay international’s struggles continued as he saw a penalty saved in the shootout that saw the Reds exit the Champions League at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain.
The truth…
Despite leading the Premier League by 12 points, Arne Slot’s side were beaten by Newcastle United in last weekend’s EFL Cup final, while they suffered a shock FA Cup defeat against Championship side Plymouth Argyle.
https://twitter.com/i/status/1902114065524158733
Nunez knows he must raise his performance levels, but does believe much of his difficulties in front of goal have been purely down to bad fortune.
“It’s been a tough few weeks for me, personally,” he said. “These are moments that you go through in football.
“I’m not someone who throws in the towel because I can’t play; I’m going to fight to be able to play every game. I know I’m not performing as well as I should.
“It’s difficult because when you’re doing well or playing well, your confidence changes. But the next game, you find out you’re not playing, and that makes you feel down.
“But I always try to train to be well and help my team-mates in any way I can; that’s what matters. The ball doesn’t want to go in. I’m running a lot, playing well, and not being able to score a goal. It’s bad luck.”

‘Agreement is complete’ – Liverpool player has agreed all details on Anfield exit, now needs signing
Over the past year or so, multiple claims from Spain have stated Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold is a target for Real Madrid.
The right-back’s contract expires in June and Los Blancos tried to sign him in January, but the Reds refused to sell for a bargain fee.
AS claim the Liverpool player, Real Sociedad’s Martín Zubimendi and AFC Bournemouth’s Dean Huijsen are the names that ‘stand out’ in Real Madrid’s list.
With regards to the England international’s move to Real Madrid, AS state ‘agreement between the parties is complete’.
The right-back has agreed all details of the agreement and only his signing is missing for it to be made official. The newspaper states he knows the duration of the contract and the salary he will receive from the Spanish giants. At this stage, his signing is ‘99% done’.
Real Madrid have done their part and it’s down to Alexander-Arnold to sign the contract, which he’s expected to do so.
Liverpool are aware of his desire to join the La Liga club but haven’t given up on renewing his contract.
The report claims the 26-year-old is unlikely to sign an extension at Anfield unless there’s a last-minute surprise. At this point in time, it’s not expected for him to change his stance about leaving Liverpool.
Tears for Trent: Young Liverpool Fan Isaac Reacts to Rumors of His Departure
Liverpool fans worldwide are struggling to come to terms with the possibility of Trent Alexander-Arnold leaving the club. But for one young fan, the news has been particularly devastating. Isaac, a passionate seven-year-old Liverpool supporter, was left heartbroken when his parents spoke to him about Trent’s potential departure. According to his mother, the news hit him so hard that he cried himself to sleep.
Trent has been a hero to many young Liverpool fans, embodying loyalty, passion, and skill. For Isaac, the right-back represents everything he loves about the club. The thought of watching a Liverpool team without Trent is almost unthinkable for the young Red. His emotional reaction mirrors the sentiments of countless fans who have taken to social media, urging the club to do everything possible to keep their vice-captain.
Tears for Trent have not been limited to Isaac alone. Across social platforms, the hashtag #StayForIsaac has started gaining traction, with fans pleading for Trent to reconsider any plans of leaving. The young defender, who grew up as a Liverpool fan himself, surely understands the deep connection supporters like Isaac have with him.
As contract talks and transfer speculations continue, Isaac’s heartbreak is a reminder of the emotional impact football has on its youngest supporters. For now, his only hope—and that of many Liverpool fans—is that Trent stays and continues to make history at Anfield.
Isaac’s Mum Speaks on How He Copes with His Disability at Home – A Heartfelt Truth That Will Inspire You
When asked on Instagram how Isaac feels about his disability, his mum’s response was both touching and inspiring. In a world where differences are often highlighted, Isaac’s perspective on life stands as a powerful reminder that confidence and self-worth are not defined by physical limitations.
Isaac’s Mum Speaks
According to his mum, Isaac has no awareness of his disability. He sees himself just like any other child, playing, laughing, and interacting with his friends without a second thought about what sets him apart. “He honestly doesn’t see himself any different to his friends. And I love that, he’s so full of confidence,” she shared.
However, at home, moments arise when Isaac realizes his physical limitations—especially when compared to his little sister. While he is full of self-belief, there are times he gets frustrated because he can’t do as much physically. But in those moments, his sister steps in with unconditional love and support, always ready to help him in any way she can.
Isaac’s story is not just about coping with a disability; it’s about a mindset that many can learn from. His unwavering confidence, the love and support he receives from his family, and his ability to focus on what he can do rather than what he can’t is a lesson in resilience. His mum’s words remind us that disability does not define a person—attitude does.

Arne Slot may be making same mistake Jurgen Klopp publicly admitted to regretting as Liverpool manager
Harvey Elliott came off the bench to record an assist in the Carabao Cup final and may now be pushing for a starting berth.
Jurgen Klopp will not look back on his time at Liverpool ruing too many mistakes. Given what he built during his nine years as Anfield boss, why would he? Klopp arrived in October 2015 with the Reds little more than Premier League mid-table fodder. By the time he left, the club were back dining among the European gentry. Seven major trophies were added to the trophy cabinet. They included a sixth Champions League and a first league title in 30 years.
Klopp’s final season at supremo, at one stage, was on the verge of arguably being his best. Granted, Liverpool were not in Europe’s elite club competition but after beating Chelsea in the Carabao Cup final to win the competition for a record 10th time, the word quadruple started to be uttered.
How quickly things unravelled, though. Liverpool were dumped out of the Europa League after a damaging home defeat by Atalanta in the quarter-finals, while they lost to bitter rivals Manchester United in the FA Cup. In addition, the Reds could not keep strides with Manchester City and Arsenal as the title race turned towards the home straight. A draw against United before losses against Crystal Palace and fierce foes Everton meant Klopp’s side could not keep apace and the German would win a solitary piece of silverware in his final campaign.
Klopp’s regret
Klopp was contemplating why Liverpool’s form towards the business end of the season jettisoned. There’s no doubt that a busy fixture list and a squad that was made up of a brand-new midfield – with Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, Wataru Endo and Ryan Gravenberch all signed in the summer – were factors.
But by Klopp’s admission, he did not utilise Harvey Elliott more in the latter stages. The former Anfield boss said before a 3-3 draw which was his penultimate match in the dugout: “If I regret one thing a little bit it’s that Harvey didn’t play often enough maybe. It was in a very important and intense period. January, [with] a lot of injuries, he played really good, he was probably our best player, right-wing, right midfield, all these kind of things. Everybody came back and he had minutes here and there and then he didn’t start anymore. [He] came on [and had] a big impact but it’s really nice that he could show.”
Finding a regular starting berth for Elliott was tough for Klopp. Mo Salah was always the undisputed first choice on the right flank while Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister operated in the number-eight roles. As a result, Elliott was often used as an impact substitute. Still, after a goal and assist in a 4-2 win over Tottenham Hotspur, that was perhaps when Klopp realised the diminutive attacking midfielder should have been handed more chances.
After an assist in Liverpool’s Carabao Cup final defeat by Newcastle United last weekend, maybe Klopp’s successor Arne Slot will start to think the same. In truth, Elliott can have had few complaints about not playing too much in the Dutchman’s maiden campaign in the L4 hot seat. Liverpool are on track to be crowned Premier League champions as they sit 12 points clear with nine games remaining. In the top flight, Elliott has not featured from the outset once. Szoboszlai has chiefly been the No.10, with Curtis Jones also deployed in the role. That is despite Elliott believing it is where he thrives best.
It would be an almighty shock if Liverpool did not claim their 20th title given their advantage. But the past four games have made the finale more nervy than it perhaps should. The Reds were knocked out of the Champions League by the potential winners in Paris Saint-Germain. However, their performance in the first leg, despite earning a 1-0 smash-and-grab win, was well below par.
Recent impact
Their first-half display against a Southampton team that could genuinely go down as the worst in Premier League history was abject. Luckily, the calibre of opposition meant the game could be salvaged after the break. But the Newcastle loss was insipid. In truth, a 2-1 reverse flattered Slot’s men. They appeared fatigued mentally and physically and many agree it was not a short-term consequence of playing 120 minutes against PSG and losing on penalties.
Slot has been reluctant to rotate his team for much of the season. The Southampton game was a prime example as players such as Ryan Gravenberch and Ibrahima Konate started. Liverpool appear they may just get away with possibly the ex-Feyenoord’s only glaring mistake in his maiden campaign but they require a fillip after the international break.
Elliott underlined how much of a livewire he can be at Wembley. He made an impact and slipped in the clever through ball for Federico Chiesa’s equaliser. It was no surprise the England under-21 international made a difference.
Per Opta’s Matt Reid, in Elliott’s past 43 games, he ha started 16 times. In that period, he has scored seven goals and recorded assists – averaging a goal involvement every 97 minutes. In that period, he has scored against Tottenham, Manchester United Lille, PSV Eindhoven and PSG.
Elliott could scarcely bang on Slot’s door at the AXA Training Centre when Liverpool were on a rampant run of form. How could he make a case to feature ahead of Szoboszlai, Jones or Mac Allister? But now the Reds have lost two games in a row for the first time in Slot’s tenure, there is a genuine debate to be had.
That, of course, is it Elliott is fit enough to feature when Liverpool’s season recommences after the international break given he limped off the Wembley pitch following a heavy, unpunished challenge from Newcastle’s Joelinton.
If Elliott is available then he has every right to start clamouring to come into the starting XI against Everton in the Merseyside derby on April 2.

Liverpool fans are getting excited after hearing what world-class Netherlands international said to Ryan Gravenberch
An interaction between Ryan Gravenberch and his Netherlands teammate while on international duty has got people talking as Liverpool continue to be linked with the player.
Liverpool are preparing for an active summer transfer window, according to Sky reporter Florian Plettenberg, as Arne Slot looks to “reshape” his current squad with a number of departures and new signings.
Caoimhin Kelleher, Wataru Endo and Harvey Elliott are mentioned as potential departures alongside Federico Chiesa and Diogo Jota, while a host of talent have been tipped to join the Reds.
One of those players is highly-rated Bayer Leverkusen defender Jeremie Frimpong, the 24-year-old full-back who has established himself as a regular under Xabi Alonso at the BayArena.
In fact, the Reds are said to be in ‘regular contact’ with the £33 million-rated Netherlands international, according to German publication Sport Bild, after Slot spoke warmly of signing the player last summer.
Amid ongoing speculation around Frimpong’s future, a clip from the Netherlands camp ahead of their Nations League double-header against Spain has got people talking.
As you can see from the footage below, Frimpong delivered his best scouse accent as he welcomed Liverpool midfielder Ryan Gravenberch. He could be heard saying: ““You alright, la?”
Moments later, the full-back embraced Reds captain Virgil van Dijk.
Here’s how fans on social media reacted to the scenes.
One said: “Yeah he’s coming isn’t he,” while another commented: “Frimpong practicing his scouse accent for a summer move to Liverpool.”
A third wrote: “Either he’s signed for us or he’s absolutely taking the piss out of Liverpool,” and a fourth said: “If Trent leaves then we need to get him.”
A fifth added: “I can see the welcome video starting with this already.”
https://x.com/AnythingLFC_/status/1901942617086058920
Earlier this week, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano provided an update on Frimpong’s current situation as he continues to be linked with a summer move.
“Jeremie Frimpong remains one to watch in the summer, one more goal and assist performance on Sunday,” he wrote on X. “Dutch RB could leave Leverkusen in the summer with many clubs interested. The clause into his contract is worth fee around €40 million.”
As mentioned above, Frimpong is attracting interest from a number of clubs, including Manchester United, Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Liverpool star ‘bitterly disappointed’ after playing potential last game for club – rivals ready to swoop
Chelsea and AFC Bournemouth have been linked with Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher.
Caoimhin Kelleher admitted he was ‘bitterly disappointed’ after Liverpool’s Carabao Cup loss against Newcastle United.
The Reds goalkeeper could not win the competition for a third time in his career after a 2-1 loss at Wembley. Kelleher was handed the gloves ahead of No.1 stopper Alisson Becker. He is Liverpool’s regular stopper in the Carabao Cup and was the match-winner in the 2022 final win on penalty shootouts over Chelsea and impressed in the 1-0 triumph against the same opposition two years later.
But Kelleher – and Liverpool – had to settle for runners-up medals. Newcastle were deserving of claiming their first trophy since 1955, with Dan Burn powering home a header in at the end of the first half before Alexander Isak doubling the advantage in the second period. Federico Chiesa bagged a consolation goal for Liverpool but it didn’t prove enough.
Reflecting on the game, Kelleher said via club’s website: “To be fair to Newcastle, I thought they deserved it, so fair play to them. We’re bitterly disappointed.
“It’s tough to take, obviously. I think we know ourselves we could perform better than that, which is probably that bit extra hard to take. To be fair to the lads, they gave everything, ran as hard as we could, but we just came up a bit short.
“We’ll believe right until the very end and it was a good goal to get us back into it and then anything can happen. But unfortunately we couldn’t get a second. To be fair to them, they closed out the game well. It’s obviously difficult when the ball is in the corner to take it out and then create a chance from there. To be fair to them, they closed it out well.”
Future uncertainty
Kelleher’s Wembley outing could well be his final Liverpool appearance. He has been at the Reds for the past 10 years after joining from Irish club Ringmahon Rangers aged 16. He graduated through the academy ranks before establishing himself as deputy to Alisson.
Kelleher has made a total of 66 appearances for Liverpool and has been highly impressive in the vast majority of those games. Former manager Jurgen Klopp labelled the Republic of Ireland international as the best No.2 in the word.
However, Kelleher has made it clear on several occasions that he wants to play week in, week out. That is something he has been denied at Liverpool because of Alisson’s ability, with the Brazilian regarded as the world’s best by many. Alisson is first choice in the Premier League and likely to start the remaining nine fixtures of the title push.
Kelleher is now aged 26 and his Anfield contract expires in June 2026. He will likely feel he is at the stage where his career needs to kickstart. In addition, Liverpool are signing Giorgi Mamardashvili from Valencia in the summer transfer window for a fee of £29 million to add to their goalkeeping department.
Speaking while on international duty last September, Kelleher said: “I’ve made it clear in the last few years that I want to go and be a number one and play week in, week out. The club’s made that decision to get another goalkeeper and from the outside looking in, it looks like they’ve made a decision to go in a different direction.
“Sometimes from the outside looking in, it looks like that’s 100% my decision but at times it’s not always in my hands. It’s been reported that Liverpool have rejected a few bids as well. My ambition is clear that I think I’m good enough and I want to go out and prove it.”
Kelleher has been linked with several clubs, with talkSPORT suggesting that AFC Bournemouth are leading the race. The Cherries currently have Kepa Arrizabalaga on loan from Chelsea. The London side have also been credited with an interest.
