The way Liverpool play isn’t a plug and play move; it is bespoke, built around remarkable qualities. But there is also a thing where Liverpool respond to the key events. For Liverpool, though, it is about setting up a glorious April. Your correspondent has long argued a good season is one which is still alive in April. Well, no season has ever been more alive as the clocks move forward. Then the shape changes to a 442 and there is clarity but not much quality. Ibrahima Konate is excellent under the circumstances and Liverpool are fortunate to have him. But no one has been so much in all the here and now as these lads. The fluidity doesn’t help — there is such a thing as too much flexibility. Europe has been the only target. No season has ever had as much going for it at this stage. For Forest it will feel like a decent audition should they match their ambitions this season. The best chance of the game for Nottingham Forest is followed by a Liverpool goal. As ever, there is this thing within matches around changing the times of the key events.

Thank you for subscribing!We have more newslettersShow meLiverpool had extra pressure piled on their FA Cup quarter-final meeting with Nottingham Forest before a ball had even been kicked, with the draw pitting the winners against Manchester City and Pep Guardiola in the semi-final at Wembley. Jürgen Klopp and his staff seemingly did well at keeping this from the players, with Diogo Jota learning the draw for the first time in his post-match interview, but for the fans it added an extra layer of nerves to what was always going to be a tricky cup tie. However, Liverpool will not shy away from it, and the intense run of meetings with Manchester City could yet play into the hands of Klopp. His counterpart is more prone to crack under pressure, and there is no doubt that this looming semi-final has ratcheted it up another notch. Nottingham Forest have just handed Liverpool the perfect solution to fix key Jürgen Klopp issueLiverpool FCNottingham Forest produced a stellar display against Liverpool and one player in particular caught the eye. It was all about getting it done against Nottingham Forest, particularly with something of a reset in the form of an international break on the horizon. It’s the semi-final stages of the FA Cup now, so big clashes are to be expected, but there is no doubt that Liverpool would have preferred to take on Crystal Palace or Chelsea in the capital. Nottingham Forest were good value, but Liverpool were ultimately able to earn progression, setting up the huge Man City fixture in the process.

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?

If they have to play Chelsea twice in the semi and then Liverpool in the final, that will mess with their heads. If Liverpool were to win the Premier League this year I think it would be their best win of all time. They will be needed in the two matches against Manchester City and Benfica and also the other league matches and they’ve got to be ready for it. Let’s hope that it’s nothing too serious but he needs a break because he’s played so many games. He just hasn’t been able to show what he’s got continually. With all due respect, there’s only three top teams in the league.
