Joe knows<\/h2>\n

Joe Gomez has accepted that winning trophies will not tempt Jurgen Klopp to reverse his decision to leave Liverpool at the end of the season.<\/p>\n

The versatile defender played a crucial role in the Reds\u2019 Carabao Cup triumph over Chelsea after replacing the injured Ryan Gravenberch in the first half.<\/p>\n

Even with injuries and dependence on academy players, Liverpool secured a dramatic 1-0 win courtesy of Virgil van Dijk\u2019s extra-time header.<\/p>\n

But Gomez knows the manner of victory will not persuade Klopp to stay at Anfield.<\/mark><\/p>\n

The ex-Charlton ace, 26, said: \u201cNah, definitely not.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnderstanding how long he\u2019s been here, I think he knows he has done everything he can. He has won it all. Everyone respects his decision and we understand it.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is one of the wisest men we know and when he says he\u2019s ready, he\u2019s ready. It is what it is, we can\u2019t dwell on that, we just have to do him justice.\u201d<\/p>\n

The City boss, 53, said: \u201cHe\u2019s young and can improve.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always had this sense of he can score. I met him when he was 16 years old, he trained with us and a little bit like Cole Palmer, they arrive and always have the feeling they can score.<\/p>\n

\u201cPhil has this incredible ability to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe must use this feeling because this is a new generation and we want to keep the success of this club.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are not happy and it hurts. We left everything on the pitch.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe team put in a lot of effort and we had a lot of opportunities, we hit the post, and we had chances to maybe kill the game but we couldn\u2019t do it.\u201d<\/mark><\/p>\n
