The Brazilian goalkeeper has come under fire in recent weeks after a series of blunders against Manchester City and Leicester. However, on Tuesday, he was not beaten by a solid RB Leipzig side, although he was saved by the post on a first-half chance. What did Klopp have to say? “Definitely. But he had big moments in the Leicester game, eh? But of course, a clean sheet helps, as you can imagine," Klopp said after the game....
The Reds will welcome the Premier League leaders to Anfield on Wednesday for the first leg of an eagerly-anticipated continental clash. Klopp has locked horns with Guardiola sides on a regular basis down the years, and boasts a decent record having emerged victorious in six of their 12 meetings to date. He is, however, prepared to admit that the former Barcelona and Bayern Munich has often topped him when it comes to trophy collecting and he is fortunate to have worked with some of the best teams on the planet....
The hosts took the lead at Anfield after Mason Holgate was adjudged to have fouled Adam Lallana, with James Milner converting the consequent spot-kick 10 minutes before half-time. Reds boss Klopp raged against a similarly questionable call in last month’s 1-1 Premier League draw against the Toffees, when Dominic Calvert-Lewin went down under pressure from Dejan Lovren, and he felt the two incidents were comparable. “It was a similar situation, the first one [in December’s match] was no penalty in my opinion and this one wasn’t also,” he told BBC Sport....
Last season’s runners-up Liverpool overturned a 3-0 first-leg deficit to reach the final with an incredible 4-0 win against Barcelona at Anfield on Tuesday. Klopp is yet to win a title since moving to Liverpool - who are a point adrift of Manchester City heading into the final Premier League match of the season - in 2015 but the German revelled in the club’s memorable comeback. “It’s really not about me, it’s really about the club,” said Klopp, whose Liverpool will face Tottenham in the June 1 final....

Having worked closely with and being hugely impressed by Edwards, who had served as the club’s technical director, Klopp has no apprehensive over the appointment. “From my point of view, it’s a very natural decision,” the Reds boss said at Melwood on Friday....
Klopp revolution only just starting The dark clouds which hovered over Anfield in the final days of Brendan Rodgers’ tenure have faded away as Klopp has instilled belief that glory lies in waiting under his stewardship. Klopp has already led the Reds to two cup finals in his first year at the helm, playing a brand of explosive football which is pleasing on the eye. The former Borussia Dortmund manager has refined Liverpool in several areas but there is one key department in which the club must improve in order to fulfil its lofty potential under his guidance....
The Reds sit two points ahead of Manchester City at the Premier League summit but Pep Guardiola’s side do have a game in hand – a rescheduled Manchester derby at Old Trafford on April 24 – due to their progress to the semi-finals of the FA Cup.

Jackson was on the Knicks' only two championship-winning teams, in 1970 and 1973....
Previously, the Knicks have used the Erie BayHawks as an affiliate, sending players like Jeremy Lin and J.R. Smith's brother, Chris Smith, down to play for the team. Amare Stoudemire also spent time with the BayHawks as part of the team because of injury. The Knicks' new D-League affiliate will push the team count to 18 for the 2014-15 season. “We are thrilled to work with the New York Knicks and Westchester County to bring NBA D-League basketball to White Plains,” said Dan Reed, NBA D-League president....
While the Knights of the Old Republic games carry a level of prestige with them, a relatively underappreciated aspect of the titles is the exploration of more macabre horror elements that are not seen elsewhere in the Star Wars franchise. Given the recent state of Star Wars media and a growing fan desire for more unique approaches to the franchise’s media, remakes for the Knights of the Old Republic games would do well to lean into these aforementioned horror aspects....

In a piece titled “Letter to My Younger Self” that was published on The Player’s Tribune , Bryant touched on how spoiling his family and friends with gifts held them back and didn’t allow them to grow as people. “Purely giving material things to your siblings and friends may appear to be the right decision,” Bryant wrote. “You love them, and they were always there for you growing up, so it’s only right that they should share in your success and all that comes with it....
