Klopp sends message to Liverpool board on Danns and co

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp sent a message to the board after their FA Cup win against Southampton.

Lewis Koumas and Jayden Danns (2) scored the goals for last night's 3-0 win.

Klopp said: "I understand it 100% but it is a little bit like the new darts sensation (Luke Littler), it is fine for tonight.

"But from tomorrow, leave the boys in the corner, please. And don't ask: 'Where are they now? Where are they now? Where are they now?'

"They have a lot to improve and a lot to learn. And everyone who is with us, we should have our moments, they will have more moments than they ever would have expected, probably, so that is one thing.

"They are exceptional talents but of course it is not natural that a boy, 18, is calm as you like and just chipped the ball there (Danns's first). The second goal I would have expected him to be there because he saw when Conor Bradley shot that the goalie cannot take it. He really arrives in these moments and he was hoping the keeper couldn't hold it.

"We've said it a few times that the future does not look too bad but maybe the people don't forget it when the transfer window opens. We have a couple of pretty promising players already, so don't close the door for them with 12 signings."
