shared his thoughts on the match and obviously had a lot to say about the thriller which saw both sides accumulate four goals.

Here is what Klopp had to say via the BBC:

“Crazy game, a bit too crazy for my tastes to be honest. The start was really good, the finish was outstanding, in the middle it was not good enough, it’s as easy as that.”

The game marked the final appearance in Liverpool colors for stalwart James Milner and forward Roberto Firmino. Both players have been instrumental in Liverpool’s recent success, contributing significantly to the club’s trophy-laden years.

Milner’s professionalism and versatility, along with Firmino’s unique blend of skill and work rate, have made them fan favorites at Anfield. The departing duo alongside Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Naby Keita will undoubtedly be missed, and their contributions will be fondly remembered by the Liverpool faithful.

The draw against Southampton served as a reminder of the rollercoaster nature of the season, highlighting the need for consistency and improvement. Klopp and his coaching staff will analyze the team’s performance and identify areas for development during the offseason.

The transfer window will provide an opportunity to bring in fresh talent and inject new energy into the squad, ensuring Liverpool remain a force to remain reckoned with in domestic and European competitions. The disappointment of not securing a higher league finish will fuel the determination of Klopp and his players to come back stronger next season.
