“This is a season that is different, there is no question about that, but this does not mean we should not look to make the most of it just as we have in every other campaign.
“I am sure for our supporters it will be strange not being able to come to Anfield for the next six weeks so hopefully we can sign off in positive fashion today so that we can look forward to being reunited again next month with everything we have.”
On the visiting Saints, he added: “For our opponents Southampton it is the first game of a new era with Nathan Jones having succeeded Ralph Hasenhuttl as manager, so I would like to extend an especially warm welcome to Nathan and also to wish him well for the future.
“His is a story that I really like. If you love football, you pretty much have no option but to like his story. If you look at his career both as a player and a manager, he has never done it the easy way.
“He has served his apprenticeship, I would say, learning about football at different levels and in different countries, developing himself and the players he has worked with and now he has the biggest opportunity of his career so far.
“The other side of the story is one I like less, of course, because for one manager to get a new job another has to lose his. This is the nature of the business we are in, and we all accept that, but this does not make it any easier, especially when the manager involved has given as much as Ralph gave to Southampton.
“Again, I wish him only the very best and hope it will not be too long before Ralph returns to the game because it is clear that he has so much still to offer.”
