Jurgen Klopp's selection gamble vindicated as Liverpool eye revenge against Leicester

Jurgen Klopp might have been tempted to make more changes than he did for the match against Cardiff, but I think he did the right thing.

Players need games and you need to keep the momentum.

Klopp showed Cardiff and the FA Cup a lot of respect and put out a team worthy of winning that match.

It was great to see Thiago come on. All of sudden, you’re looking at the squad we’ve got and it looks very rosy.

Luis Diaz has come in, Harvey Elliott has come back, Thiago’s now fit, the cavalry of Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane are coming back.

If you think about all the little problems that we’ve had over the past couple of years, it’s as strong now as it’s ever been under Jurgen at this present moment in time.

Let’s hope we keep them all fit between now and the end of the season, as we’ve got three cup competitions to sort out and we can still keep Manchester City on their toes.

Cardiff brought about 8,000 fans to Anfield. They got a lucky draw. They enjoyed the day out but their fans didn’t impress me.

The likes of Shrewsbury, Leicester, and now Cardiff - some of the things that we had to endure - they don’t sing about their own team half of the time.

But they’ve had a day out, had a bit of a jolly and got a goal. I thought they’d won the whole game the way they celebrated it.

I’ve noticed that the away fans this season seem to have gone a lot more volatile.

You used to get an atmosphere like that in the old days of the Kop when it was all standing.

But all of a sudden the away fans are coming and standing and they’re definitely more volatile than they were before.

In any case, we got the result and their goal didn’t matter because it was a cup game.

The Cardiff fans have had a good day out in one of the best stadiums in the
