It took Liverpool fans just eight minutes to fall in love with Diogo Jota. An attempt to explain why that will now last forever as we try to make sense of his unimaginably tragic fate in Zamora, Spain.

- Representatives of Liverpool FC, including most of Diogo Jota's team-mates, have gathered at Igreja de Matriz church for the Reds striker's funeral service in Portugal this morning.
- Loved in Dortmund, wanted by Man Utd, unused with England. Someone, somewhere, is making an error of judgement over £100m Jadon Sancho.
- One of these was deemed a high boot and worthy of a sending off. The other was apparently not even a foul. Making it up as they go along on a week by week, game by game, minute by minute basis. 🤷🏻♂️
- Oasis’ first gig in 16 years pays tribute to Diogo Jota during the performance of Live Forever.
- Liverpool played the Carabao Cup final with 11 first-team players out and then Gravenberch went off injured during the game. Endo left Wembley in a cast. I don’t ever remember this being wheeled out then 🤷🏻♂️"The timing of this injury crisis is far from ideal" 😬 How will Manchester City's injury challenges affect their upcoming fixtures? 🤔
00:00 - Klopp: "I was not overly happy with the atmosphere behind me. I wondered what they wanted. We need Anfield on Saturday. We need Anfield on their toes without me being in an argument with their coach or whatever. If you're not in the right shape, give your ticket to someone else."
- Are Man City guilty of one player losing his footing in one specific game? No. 115 allegations of financial impropriety over nine seasons? Quite possibly.
- Klopp: "Firmino was outstanding. Mo gets a lot of attention, rightly so. Bobby for people with football knowledge, people will write books about how he interprets the false 9. We don't say he invented it but it looks like at times. It was insane."
- Delighted to be able to officially say I’ve been appointed as @JamesPearceLFC’s successor as the Liverpool ECHO’s LFC correspondent. Big shoes to fill. I’m simply aiming to make sure it’s not as disastrous a replacement as when Aquilani took over from Alonso.
- Liverpool are looking to do a deal with Fulham to sign Fabio Carvalho before the end of the transfer window. Full story to come on @LivEchoLFC
- Liverpool are looking to hijack Spurs move for Porto’s Luis Diaz. Initial fee thought to be around £37m.
- Difficult to have sympathy for any perceived wrongings for managers now after their chance to make a collective stance to improve officiating went begging after Spurs v Liverpool. Bleating about subjective calls just doesn’t cut it now."I just don't understand what happened" 🤯 Burnley manager Vincent Kompany left confused after a dramatic late VAR decision meant his team were beaten 2-1 against Bournemouth 👀🧐
