By AFPMore by this AuthorLIVERPOOLJurgen Klopp has seen Liverpool's title ambitions given a major boost from the most unlikely source ahead of Sunday's eagerly-awaited Merseyside derby at Everton. That was an indication not only of the excellent seasons being put in by both but also the evolution of Liverpool's play and the game in general. For so long, an unheralded hero among Liverpool's galaxy of big-name stars, the unassuming defender is finally receiving the plaudits his play and attitude deserve. "I am not sure if it is possible to be more motivated than they were and we were that day. Of course the game was special," Klopp said of the 1-0 victory over Everton earlier this season.
