Liverpool

The Football Association have confirmed they are in contact with Liverpool and Manchester City.

However, the governing body later released a statement saying: “The FA will be liaising closely with both Liverpool FC and Manchester City FC on all match arrangements, including supporters travel for the upcoming Emirates FA Cup Semi Final fixture at Wembley Stadium, with further details to be announced in due course. “We are also continuing to work with both Network Rail and National Express to find a solution so that supporters of both teams are able to travel to and from the fixture with as minimal disruption as possible.” Stephen Evans, the son of former Liverpool manager Roy, tweeted: "No trains running from Liverpool or Manchester to London for the whole of the weekend when the semi final is on is a joke. SOS tweeted: "Fan reps of both @LFC & @ManCity are appalled at the shambolic travel arrangements #notrains for the prestigious @EmiratesFACup semi-final at @wembleystadium and are in contact with each other, full joint statement to follow later from ourselves & @WeAre1894". Jurgen Klopp was asked about the situation when speaking pitch-side at the City Ground after the game on Sunday and while the Liverpool manager was unaware of the transport issues, he hoped there could be some intervention to ease supporters' travel fears. If we could play with supporters that would be really good for both teams.” The Football Association were unable to provide details of any plans that were in place that would help fans travelling from the North West that weekend when contacted by ECHO on Monday morning, while Liverpool said they were looking into the matter. However, both sets of supporters face a logistical nightmare to get to the national stadium due to no running trains from the North West to the capital over the Easter weekend. Avanti West Coast confirmed that it will not be running any trains into London Euston from April 15 to 18 because of engineering work that is scheduled to take place across a number of locations.

Liverpool and Manchester City will play twice in April, once in a potentially decisive Premier League showdown at the Etihad Stadium and again in an FA Cup ...

As with Forest and Liverpool in the late 1970s, so with City and Liverpool today. “The further you go in whichever competition, the more likely you are you will face City at one point.” That tends to be the way when you are one of the two leading teams of a particular era. Whether Simeone’s idiosyncratic style of play will exploit what few weaknesses City have is a fair and open question, particularly as Guardiola will have the Liverpool fixtures to consider of either side. “We have Watford, Benfica, City, Benfica, City, United, Everton [after the international break],” Klopp helpfully pointed out at the City Ground. “From a Liverpool perspective, these are all massive games. Plenty has changed in that time, for one club more than the other, but none of the old intensity was lost at the City Ground. If the last four or five years have taught us anything though, it is that quality usually shines through, and that these two have quality in abundance.

Liverpool and Manchester City's bid for historic trophy-winning hauls will clash in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley next month after coming through their ...

This is a quarter-final today to get to Wembley and if you haven’t got the confidence to play, you can quickly flip it and say ‘Have you got the b------s to play?’ Excuse me, but that’s the football reality. Because of a lack of confidence and a lack of what I just said. “We didn’t play that badly today and Palace didn’t play that well, and we lost 4-0. We played at 70 per cent throughout the whole game and that’s not good enough.” “There is only so much time you can keep buttering someone up to give them confidence. “You can hear the atmosphere in the stadium, the fans; this is what they wanted and we wanted to give it to them.”

“It’s a sense of resignation,” added Dave Roth, 49, a season ticket holder at Manchester City since 1984. The FA’s spokesperson said: “The FA will be liaising closely with both Liverpool and Manchester City on all match arrangements, including supporters travel for the upcoming Emirates FA Cup semi-final at Wembley Stadium, with further details to be announced in due course. “I’m not surprised,” Liverpool supporter Gavin told i.

City outlasted Southampton 4-1 and Liverpool edged past second-tier Nottingham Forest 1-0. Tottenham defeated West Ham 3-1 in the Premier League.

City currently leads Liverpool by one point in a fascinating title race _ and then in the FA Cup semifinals at Wembley Stadium on the weekend of April 16-17. The most lethal attacking partnership in Premier League history combined for all three of Tottenham’s goals in a 3-1 win over West Ham in a big result in the race for Champions League qualification. Forest left 97 seats vacant for the game to honor the Liverpool fans who died as a result of a crush at Hillsborough Stadium in the FA Cup semifinals in April 1989, when the two sides last met in the competition. For Guehi, the center back who headed in the opening goal, it was a perfect way to celebrate getting a first call-up to England’s squad this week ahead of friendly matches against Switzerland and the Ivory Coast. Forest had beaten the previous two winners of the competition Arsenal and Leicester in earlier rounds and gave Liverpool a big scare at the City Ground. Frustration was building for City at 1-1 when the visitors won a penalty that was converted in the 62nd minute by Kevin De Bruyne, before goals by substitutes Phil Foden and Riyad Mahrez in the space of four minutes from the 75th added gloss to the scoreline at St. Mary’s Stadium.

According to reports, Bayern Munich manager Julian Nagelsmann has turned down Manchester United in order to wait for Liverpool and Manchester City jobs.

The experience is there, similar style of football, right foundations for the whole club. With Jurgen Klopp set to leave in 2024, could we see a like for like replacement? Such big shoes to fill, so who better than Bayern Munich manager Julian Nagelsmann?
