Liverpool musn't 'tear everything up' says Michael Owen, Rio Ferdinand defends Virgil van Dijk
Michael Owen has stressed that Liverpool’s players and management “deserve a bit of patience” after all the club has achieved in recent years. Jurgen Klopp’s side have struggled for consistency this season, as perfectly demonstrated recently when they followed up a remarkable 7-0 win over rivals Manchester United with a 1-0 loss at Bournemouth less than a week later. Ad As it stands, the Reds are six points adrift of the Premier League’s top-four and face the reality of potentially missing out on next season’s Champions League, a competition they reached the final of last year, losing to Wednesday’s last-16 opponents Real Madrid.
