Where are they now? Klopp’s second string Liverpool FA Cup XI from 2016

On February 9, 2016, a young Liverpool side exited the FA Cup with a 2-1 defeat away to West Ham United.

While new boss Jurgen Klopp helped the Reds get to the League Cup and Europa League finals during his first season at Anfield, a second-string side exited the fourth round of the FA Cup.

Angelo Ogbonna’s extra-time header saw Klopp’s men dumped out at the hands of West Ham United in a midweek replay at Upton Park, with Klopp making 10 changes to the team he had picked in the Premier League at the weekend.

None of the starting XI from that day is still at the club, emphasising the amount of change we’ve seen under the former Borussia Dortmund boss. Here’s what they’re all up to now.

Mignolet lasted longer than many fans expected before finally departing Liverpool in 2019 to return to his native Belgium with Club Brugge.

The local lad was no longer a fixture in the side by 2016, with injuries preventing him from building on a breakthrough 2013-14 campaign – this was one of just eight appearances in a season in which he was very much a backup.

After two loan spells away from Anfield, as well as being sentenced for common assault, Flanagan made an eventual exit to Steven Gerrard’s Rangers in the summer of 2018.

The full-back made 39 appearances during his two years in Scotland before joining Belgian side Charleroi on a free transfer in November 2020.

He didn’t make a single appearance for the club and subsequently moved to Danish outfit HB Koge – managed by his former team-mate Daniel Agger – last summer.

Liverpool fought hard to sign Ilori, winning the battle to bring the English-born Portuguese defender over from Sporting in 2013, but he had to wait until the 2015-16 season for his first-team debut.
