Klopp says he heard Gabby Agbonlahor slaughtering United at Brentford on Talksport while driving home from training. "He lost 6-0 here with Villa in my first season. He wasn't a mentality monster in that game. I was close to calling in."

- Jurgen Klopp on Chelsea owner Todd Boehly's idea for a north v south "All Star" game: "He hasn't waited long! Oh great, maybe he can find a date for it. It's completely different in America. Does he want to bring the Harlem Globetrotters as well?"
- Bullshit. This footage is of fans climbing on to the ramp that leads up to the stadium concourse, where the gates are.
- Liverpool have asked the Premier League to review the use of VAR in the derby, in particular the failure to scrutinise Pickford's foul, which part of Mane's body was offside and the moment VAR decided to freeze the frame.
- Jurgen Klopp: "I don't need a break. Privately it has been a tough time but I'm 53, 30 years as a coach, I can split things, I can switch off. Nobody has to worry about me. I am full of energy. We will sort it. Thanks for all the support but nobody has to worry about me."
- Sam Allardyce on visiting a foodbank this week: "It's depressing that a country like this can need so many. It's going back to the dark ages and it's growing at a rapid pace, not just for people on benefits but for people in work. It's a disgrace."
- Jurgen Klopp claims Calvert-Lewin "makes step in front of Dejan Lovren but he doesn't push him, just contact" Asks who thought it was a pen. Most in the press room put their hands up.
- Frank Lampard on the Gordon/Matip penalty incident: "It was a penalty. You don't get them here. If that's Mo Salah at the other end he gets a penalty. It was a clear foul."
- Jurgen Klopp not impressed with the pitch invader at Anfield v Norwich either. "You see a man with his dick swinging around. Who wants to see that?"
- Frank Lampard enjoys the biggest win of any Everton managerial debut.
- Liverpool city council are working with #LFC on plans to mark title victory at end of July. More details in next few weeks. Tony Reeves, council CEO, also says: "As soon as it is safe to do so, we plan to stage a parade to mark this huge moment for the city and its people."
- Marco Silva on Jurgen Klopp's Sunday celebration: "Now I have seen it and it is not a matter. The emotion and to celebrate that way was normal." On Klopp being fined: "I don't think he should be but the FA decide the rules."
- Diego Simeone very magnanimous in victory #LIVATM "Today is unjust because we had 30 mins of extra time to score three away goals. Liverpool never had that. We had 30 more minutes to score an away goal and Liverpool didn't. That's not fair."
- Jurgen Klopp on Oxlade-Chamberlain's injury: "It is not fair but, as they say, if you have a lemon make lemonade. We will wait for him like a good wife waits for a man in prison."
