Richard Keys slams Jurgen Klopp for two decisions as Liam Gallagher aims dig at Liverpool

Here are your Liverpool evening headlines for Tuesday, October 25.

Richard Keys blasts Jurgen Klopp for two decisions

Richard Keys has criticised Jurgen Klopp for his team selection in Liverpool's 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest.

The only goal of the game came from former Red, Taiwo Awoniyi, who tapped in during the second-half. Liverpool had their fair share of chances to get on the scoresheet but their luck was out on the day.

Virgil van Dijk has a number of opportunities and saw one of his best efforts clawed off the line from Dean Henderson in the dying moments. But for Klopp , his injury problems were laid bare as Thiago Alcantara was a late withdrawal to add to the mounting casualty list.

Unfortunately for the Reds, they couldn't follow up their wins over Manchester City and West Ham as Steve Cooper's side picked up just their second win of the campaign as they look to move out of the relegation zone.

As a result of the injury issues, Fabinho, Harvey Elliott and Curtis Jones started in midfield with Jordan Henderson on the bench.

Disgraced former Sky Sports presenter Keys took aim at Klopp for his decision to leave Trent Alexander-Arnold and the Liverpool skipper on the bench after the Spaniard pulled out of the clash in the early hours of the morning.

Liam Gallagher fires 11-word jibe at Liverpool

Liam Gallagher has used Liverpool's 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest on Saturday afternoon to form his latest swipe at Reds supporters.

The former Oasis lead vocalist has made no secret of his dislike for Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp in recent years, with the intense on-pitch Premier League rivalry between the two sides frequently pushing Gallagher to take to social media to poke fun at supporters if Klopp's men uncharacteristically stutter.

And after the Reds were defeated in Saturday's early kick-off at the City Ground, thanks to a second-half striker from former Liverpool frontman Taiwo Awoniyi, and Manchester City later bounced back from their misery on Merseyside by defeating Brighton, Gallagher could not resist poking fun at Liverpool supporters.

"How’s my LFC crew getting on still loving the game LG," he tweeted to his 3.6m followers.

While Klopp admitted earlier this month that his side are not in the Premier League title race, Pep Guardiola will be pleased to see the gap between the two sides extend to ten points following the results on Saturday afternoon.

Liverpool have the visits of Leeds United and Southampton to Anfield sandwiched between their visit to north London to face Tottenham before the Premier League halts for its World Cup break. Meanwhile, City face Leicester, Fulham and Chelsea.

Earlier this month, Gallagher took aim at comments on Sky from Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville about Erling Haaland, creating a new nickname for the pair.
