    Robin Smit: So sad that Klopp moaned about the referee tonight, Southampton were excellent over both legs & deserved the victory

    Quinex: This downward movement by Liverpool is shocking. The loss to Chelsea on Tuesday can send them out of Top Four

    David Melton: Anyone says Klopp has to go is talking nonsense. I love the guy, he needs time and thankfully Liverpool will give him that.

    Dave calls in on BBC Radio 5 live's Football Social: "Jurgen Klopp is not a trophy-winning manager and he needs to be replaced. He has not sorted the defence."

    That was as flustered a post-match interview as I've seen from Jurgen Klopp this season. 

  12. 'It would be nice to hear the referee's whistle'published at 22:23 GMT 25 January 2017

    Liverpool 0-1 Southampton (Agg: 0-2)

    Liverpool

    Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp: "They won both games, they deserved it. We did really well, we cannot create more chances than we did in the second half, we were dominant. It is difficult because you have to take risks but too many risks plays to their strengths.

    "We had big chances and no luck. A lucky save, a good save but a lucky save. The ref didn't see the handball of Long and it doesn't help in a game like this. 

    "We had seven good chances. You have to score, and we didn't do so we lost. I'm fine with the performance but not the result.

    "If we could hear a referee's whistle it would be nice. I don't know how many times that has happened this season. Against Manchester United we had a clear offside goal [Zlatan Ibrahimovic], nobody says anything. Tonight a penalty, nobody says anything."

    Phillip Mulvaney: Liverpool should keep the manager he's doing a excellent job let's hear it for Jurgen FLOP.

    Si's insights: Klopp's honeymoon is over, if he ever had one.

    Dhru Patel: Painful to watch Liverpool at the moment. But the better team won over two legs. Good luck Southampton in the final.

    Nice spirit from Dhru there.

    Southampton manager Claude Puel: "It is fantastic for all the squad and a good reward for their hard work. It was difficult to find this opportunity to play a final at Wembley. In the two legs we deserved the win. We were fantastic in the first leg at home and tonight we had chances in the first half.

    "In the second half it was difficult but now we go to Wembley, not just to participate but to win this cup. I have been there once, just to watch France beat England."

    Jay: Forster, Ward-Prowse, Redmond - just some of the names for Klopp to keep in mind when Liverpool raid Southampton next.

    Ali-Reja Panjwani: Utterly horrendous Jan for Liverpool. Out of title race, out of the only trophy we could have won & top 4 hopes in the balance.
