(The Guardian) The assistant referee Constantine Hatzidakis will face no further action from the Football Association following an apparent elbow on Liverpool defender Andy Robertson as the players of Liverpool and Arsenal left the field at half-time during last Sunday’s Premier League draw at Anfield. Jürgen Klopp is currently talking to the pressd ahead of his side’s match against Leeds United on Monday night and says he is satisfied with the decision. “I think it has been dealt with really well,” he said. “I wasn’t aware of it during the game; I spoke to Robbo and the other guys, not the assistant, but now we can carry on.” Hatzidakis was stood down from duties this weekend while the investigation took place but will be free to resume them next week. The official is reported to have spoken to Robertson directly and apologised for his actions.
Klopp on Jude Bellingham: “I have nothing to say on that,” he said, when quizzed about Liverpool’s very public withdrawal from the stampede to secure the England midfielder’s services from Borussia Dortmund. “It is not about Jude Bellingham, but I never understand why we talk about things we cannot have, theoretically. We cannot have six players in a summer, everyone for £100m. That is clear. “You have to realise what you can do and then work with it. That is your job. We are not children; when you ask a five-year-old what they want for Christmas and they say, I don’t know, ‘a Ferrari’, you would say that is too expensive and you cannot drive it, If this kid then was really unhappy because he didn’t get his Ferrari, it would be a really sad life. You look what you can do, and you work with that.”

(The Guardian) Leeds manager Javi Gracia wants his players to learn from the second-half capitulation that ended in a humiliating 5-1 home defeat by Crystal Palace last Sunday. “Of course we have to analyse the things that happened in that game because nobody can understand how we could change so much from the first half to second half,” said Gracia, speaking ahead of Monday night’s game with Liverpool. “It’s something we have to analyse and try to improve. After the game, we spoke about what we spoke about in half-time – trying to improve some details, defending, set-pieces. In the first half we played a good first 45 minutes. “But after, with more distances, not being so aggressive, not being so intense, then the spaces appear and in that moment, the quality of Palace players as well is something. In three minutes we conceded two goals and it was the key. After that the third goal, it was hard to manage and very tough to manage for us. “It was like when a boxer received a punch – one, two, three seconds a little bit – I think something similar happened. It’s something we have to learn from and after that try to prepare for the next game. “It’s never easy to manage the defeat. You always live better with a good result but I think it’s necessary sometimes to feel that disappointed and to learn to grow up. It’s important to feel that experience – if you learn from it. In this case, I think the players felt that difficult moment and now for the rest of the season, I hope it helps us for these games and to compete better (for them).” Leeds haven’t beaten Liverpool at Elland Road since goals from Sam Hyypia, Christian Ziege and Vladimir Smicer were trumped by Mark Viduka (24, 47, 73, 75) in the year 2000. John Helm is your commentator.
Where is Mark Viduka now? There seems some confusion. Did we all know the Modric connection? Wiki: “Viduka and his wife Ivana have three sons together: Joseph (born November 2002), Lucas (born September 2006) and Oliver (born May 2008). His father Joe immigrated to Australia from Croatia in the 1960s, and Croatian footballer and Ballon d’Or winner Luka Modrić is his cousin. Viduka currently lives in Zagreb, where he owns a coffee shop and enjoys making coffee.” 2022 Planetfootball article: “Viduka lives a quiet life back in Melbourne with his wife and three sons. He’s still a diehard supporter of the Knights, the only Australian club he represented since the age of six. When he watches them now, he does so from the Mark Viduka Stand.”

(The Guardian) Liverpool: Good news for the Reds as Luis Diaz is set to return to the squad after an absence measuring six months and 31 games due to a knee injury in October and a further setback in December. “He’s 100 per cent ready in training so that’s it now. He is now completely normal in training and now we have to reintegrate him. He will be in the squad, if nothing happens Luis will be in the squad and from there we go. That’s it,” said Jürgen Klopp of the Colombian as the Reds prepare for Monday night’s trip to Leeds. “Yeah, absolutely it is [like having a new signing]. Luis, he developed massively. In that time his English is getting better, so he is really settled. He was here every day – how it is with injured players and especially long-term injured players, they are even more at the training ground than all the others, so every day together with therapists and stuff like this. He really matured again, he is much more comfortable than he was in the beginning with everything in a new country, so that’s really good and it will help him as well. So, we are really happy to have him back. “He is like a breath of fresh air every day he is in training. He loves it out there, I said in the beginning when he came that he cannot train without a smile on his face and that’s something really special and that’s exactly how he acts now.”

(The Guardian) PreambleLeeds and Liverpool were both involved in fantastic fightbacks last weekend. Unfortunately, Javi Gracia’s side saw a 1-0 lead become a 5-1 defeat to Crystal Palace to leave them in a precarious position in the league. They sit two points above the drop zone but a win today would leave them looking in a very pretty position, thanks to the tight nature of the fight for survival. They would have been a bit more confident going into this match two weeks ago but Liverpool have picked up somewhat. Their 4-1 loss at Manchester City was followed by a tedious 0-0 at Chelsea and wondrous comeback against league leaders Arsenal in front of a boisterous Anfield. The main disappointment from the draw with the Gunners was that they failed to turn it into three points. They had chances late on but could not find that all important third, and might be eager to take out their frustrations on tonight’s opponents. Liverpool’s week has been overshadowed by the news that Jude Bellingham will be not tapping the ‘This Is Anfield’ sign next season because the club cannot afford his transfer fee and wages. There is no need to despair, there are plenty of other good players out there and the transfer committee will undoubtedly do a pretty decent job. Javi Gracia does not have the luxury of looking to the summer. He does not know which division Leeds will be playing in next season and his “flexible contract” does not offer much of an inclination of his future. The best way to extend his time at Elland Road would be a win tonight and maintaining Leeds’ Premier League status. Let’s see if Patrick Bamford can do a Tony Yeboah. It should be a fun night!

(The Guardian) Peter Oh emails: “Liverpool being priced out of the Ferrari Bellingham makes me wonder what the makes and models of the current crop of Reds players would be. Audi TAA? Bugatti Virgil? Hendo NSX?” Jeff Sax emails: "What's TTR's view on Roman Abramovitch & Todd Boehly, billionaires that changed and are changing Chelsea....the former improved them, the current one causing them to implode?”

(The Guardian) Jurgen Klopp speaks …--On Leeds: “The circumstances are clear, Leeds are involved in one of the most exciting relegation battles of all time. We expect a hostile atmosphere and a real fight.” --On Diaz: “It is all going in the right direction. It is a long break for Diaz. He is not at 100% but the thing he needs now is minutes.”

(The Guardian) Bill Preston has been in touch: “Liverpool not being able, or perhaps willing, to put a stomp on the transfer market their fans desire is probably for the best. A proper, well thought out restructure will do the club well, rather than opting for Bellingham who is, to be fair, thrilling. “Heroics are required by so many at the bottom end of the table: Leeds scratching a 2-2 draw here should see them safe, at the expense of Everton.” *reads the last bit of Preston's missive* We should be so lucky...
