Jurgen Klopp claims Leeds thrashing was 'best game' Liverpool have played this season

Jurgen Klopp has affirmed his belief that Liverpool's performance in their 6-1 demolition of Leeds United on Monday was the best performance they've put in all season.

The Reds have endured a rather miserable campaign following their successful 2021/22 season, falling way below expectations and in desperate need of a squad rebuild.

They managed to put their crisis to one side on Monday with a dominant display at Elland Road, hitting struggling Leeds for six.

Cody Gakpo and Darwin Nunez grabbed goals either side of braces from Mohamed Salah and Diogo Jota, while Trent Alexander-Arnold returned to form with a pair of assists.

Speaking to Sky Sports post-match, Klopp was full of praise for his side's efforts.

"I think it's the best game we've played this season from all different perspectives," Klopp said. "We forced a lot of errors, sensational goals and counter-pressing, the best game for long time.

"There were a couple of tough moments, we conceded an unnecessary goal, but these things happen. Apart from that we were in control of the game."

Liverpool hammered rivals Manchester United 7-0 at Anfield back in March, but Klopp doubled down on his belief that the showing at Leeds was their most complete performance, insisting it isn't always about how many goals you score.

"I'm not bothered about scoring six, it's about the performance. This was a winning performance," he added. "We can be super offensive orientated if we react in the right moment. I can't explain why our counter-pressing didn't work [earlier this season], but tonight it clicked.

"I'm not sure how many goals we scored after we won the ball back - that makes all the difference."

Liverpool's biggest and best wins in 2022/23

The 2022/23 season won't be one that Liverpool fans will fondly remember, especially when compared to the glorious successes of previous campaigns.

But while there is need of fresh impetus at Anfield, the Reds have still managed to sparkle at times this year with some unbelievable scoring displays and important wins against quality opposition.

Donations by top 50 US donors fell again in 2023, sliding to $12B − Mike Bloomberg, Phil and Penny Knight, and Michael and Susan Dell led the list of biggest givers

The top 50 American individuals and couples who gave or pledged the most to charity in 2023 committed US$12 billion to foundations, universities, hospitals and more. That total was 28% below an inflation-adjusted $16.5 billion in 2022, according to the Chronicle of Philanthropy’s latest annual tally of these donations. The Conversation U.S. asked David Campbell, Angela R. Logan and Michael Moody, three scholars of philanthropy, to assess the significance of these gifts and to consider what they indicate about the state of charitable giving in the United States. What trends stand out overall? David Campbell: As was the case in 2022, more than one-third of these big gifts – $4.4 billion – went to donors’ personal foundations. Another $764.3 million flowed into donor-advised funds. Also known as DAFs, these charitable savings accounts make it possible for donors to reserve assets such as cash, stocks and bonds for future charitable gifts. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, ...
