This season has been a huge disappointment for Liverpool. If the Reds fail to secure at least one place in Europe next season, it will be a big failure, and they will compare themselves with the likes of Chelsea, even though they are 11 points ahead, and their club policies are totally different to the ones cherished by the new Blues owner. Unlike the London club, who smashed half a billion pounds on transfers and will appoint a fourth manager in just under a year (Mauricio Pochettino), the Reds have a long-term manager at the helm and have spent modestly, but not enough. And Jurgen Klopp has a lot of credit for securing the title and a Champions League trophy, but the German knows that next season is crucial. So, he decided that the 8th of July is the D-Day for the next season.🚨 NEW: Jürgen Klopp has drawn up Liverpool’s summer blueprint. The Liverpool manager stressed the importance of the club’s pre-season plans and has chosen July 8 as the day his players report back, with those involved in international matches after the end of the domestic… pic.twitter.com/trdQBO1jni— Anfield Watch (@AnfieldWatch) April 26, 2023 Jurgen Klopp believes injuries, an imperfect pre-season, 64 played games, and a disappointing finish to last year’s quadruple bid are all to blame for Liverpool’s mixed form this season so he wants to start the new season as soon as possible – on July the 8th, while his players will show up in Liverpool on Monday, 11th.“This year must be different. We have to step up. And we have to prepare that in the pre-season, and that’s why I want them back together as quickly as somehow possible, respecting the necessity of holidays. I know that, and I respect that. I want them to go on holiday for as long as possible but, for this year, we have to make sure we are together as soon as possible and can go from there. The next season stands above everything, to be honest” said Klopp. Jurgen Klopp on Bellingham: Even a five-year-old wants a Ferrari for Easter…Unlike the last year’s pre-season, to which the German later complained, this time around, he will take the team to his homeland, after which they will fly to Singapore in late July to play some friendlies. And while Liverpool’s quest to appoint a new sporting director remains ongoing, Klopp expects that most of his new players are bought before July 8th and can join the team immediately. The German tactician wants to set everything up as early as possible so that new players can soak up his ideas ASAP and the new season can start with a proper title quest.PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 33TuesdayWolverhampton – Crystal Palace 1-0 (1-0)/Andersen 3 (og)/Aston Villa – Fulham 1-0 (1-0)/Mings 21/Leeds – Leicester 1-1 (0-0)/Sinisterra 20 – Vardy 80/Wednesday21.30: (5.90) Nott.Forest (4.00) Brighton (1.58)21.45: (4.20) West Ham (3.60) Liverpool (1.95)21.45: (1.70) Chelsea (3.60) Brentford (5.30)22.00: (1.60) Man.City (4.10) Arsenal (6.25)Thursday21.45: (5.10) Everton (3.60) Newcastle (1.80)21.45: (2.35) Southampton (3.40) Bournemouth (3.25)22.15: (3.00) Tottenham (3.50) Man.Utd.
