After Spurs were knocked out of both the EFL and FA Cup in the space of four days, Pochettino declared winning trophies “only builds your ego” and that his main focus was always a top-four finish in the Premier League. While his comments were criticised in some quarters, Klopp understands “100 per cent” where his counterpart was coming from after the 2-0 FA Cup loss to Crystal Palace. The Liverpool manager pointed out how participating in Europe’s top-tier club competition is pivotal because of the revenue it brings in, even if supporters may see a greater value in winning silverware....

WATCH: New Zealand keeper’s terrible mistake Klinsmann trotted out a 4-3-3 rather than the more commonly used 4-4-2, deployed DeAndre Yedlin as a wide forward and played Michael Bradley in a bit more of an advanced role while Perry Kitchen earned an audition in defensive midfield.
