I feel good and I am back in the race, Klopp said. I figured if I feel bad I should stay at home, but I feel good.If I am not fit, then I cannot help here and I would be at home. Everything is OK and we dont have to talk about this any more.I am very thankful for our doc (club medic Andy Massey) because he said we should go to hospital - I was not too sure - and the surgeon was great, a season ticket-holder who told me we both didnt want to see the game, I had the best nurses and everything was okay.Managerial responsibilities against Sunderland fell to the Germans coaching staff including Zeljko Buvac, Peter Krawietz, Pepijn Lijnders and John Achterberg but Klopp does not think his absence affected the result.It was not necessary to give the points away but that is not something we can change, he said. Liverpool first-team development coach Pepijn Lijnders was extremely disappointed with the 2-2 draw against Sunderland on Saturday It makes no difference if you are in a deep sleep or on the bench - you cant change it any more.There were a lot of positive things and if you pick out the last 10 minutes it was a really good game; how you should play and we should have scored a few more goals.A significant number of Liverpool supporters - some estimations suggesting as many as 10,000 - staged a 77th-minute walk out during the clash with the Black Cats in protest at next seasons ticket prices. Sky sources understand Fenway Sports Group and Liverpools senior management team have since held talks over whether to review the new ticket price structure. Liverpool fans staged a 77th-minute walk out during the 2-2 draw with Sunderland The fan groups Spion Kop 1906 and Spirit of Shankly, who organised the protest, have threatened further action and Klopp is hopeful a solution can be found.Its not too easy for me to say much because I wasnt there, he said. Jurgen Klopp says Liverpool have to find a solution to their ticket price problems. Some fans left their last match early in protest of rising prices. I know it is my problem too, but everything I could say would make it more complicated. I have to collect more information because the club is speaking to find a solution.It is not what we want for fans to leave the stadium before the match is finished.Daniel Sturridge, Philippe Coutinho and Divock Origi are all in contention to feature for Liverpool against West Ham as they attempt to set up a fifth-round tie with Blackburn Rovers. Daniel Sturridge could make his return from injury against West Ham Daniel was fit enough to be on the bench on Saturday and was impressive on Friday in training, Klopp said. I hope to have Divock and Philippe Coutinho in the squad tomorrow.It is complicated because extra-time is possible. They cant all start together because then we have to make three changes.

Even decked out in his flashy Roughrider-green, Sligo outfit, the pride of Weyburn, Sask., looked as if he belonged here. He was confident and more than capable of playing in a major as he did his recon work for Thursdays opening round. He boomed drives and ripped low irons off onto the rock-hard fairways of Muirfield, watching them run and run. He seemed at ease, as though he was playing a Saturday morning nassau. He smiled often and stopped to sign autographs. Quite clearly, the leading Canadian golfer was enjoying himself this day. The Open Championship marks DeLaets first major, a big step up for the 31-year-old. But its certainly no surprise. This year, hes been playing some exceptional golf and a look at the PGA Tour statistics gives clear evidence. DeLaet is No. 1 in Greens in Regulation; first in Actual Scoring Average; first in Ball Striking; fifth in Total Birdies; second in Par-5 Performance and 12th in Driving Distance. The list goes on, showing his stirling play so far in 2013. The numbers are almost mind-boggling. Some players can be good across one or two categories, but hes near the top in so many, its easy to lose count. "Its felt pretty consistent all year," said DeLaet, who is also 28th on the money list with just over $1.5 million. "Ive been hitting the ball well. Ive been driving it better the past month or so, which I was kind of struggling with earlier in the year, which is kind of my strength. "And Ive been holing a lot more putts this year which is kind of the difference between finishing top 25 and having those 50th- and 45th-place finishes.dddddddddddd" Still, even with his great play this year, the Open Championship is a major, a different beast where the best bring their best. DeLaet senses the rarified air at Muirfield but isnt shying away. "Obviously theres a different feel around the week," he stated. "The infrastructure around the golf courses is pretty unreal but at the same time I think if I would have qualified for this back when I was playing PGA Tour Canada, it might have been a little overwhelming for me. But we see this week-in and week-out (on the PGA Tour) just not quite at this level." DeLaet has limited experience playing links golf. He teed it up in the Dunhill Cup twice (its the European Tours answer to the Pebble Beach Pro-Am) and played in the British Amateur a while back. Despite that, he feels comfortable with the bumps and humps and wind hell face this week. "Im not a wily veteran by any means," he said, "but I feel I have an understanding of how to play, especially from a mental standpoint. "Out here its really controlling your emotions just as much as your golf ball. Youre going get some bad breaks, youre going to make some bogeys when you hit good shots, but thats links golf." DeLaet said his plan is just to commit to each shot as they unfold, however, as he chatted by the home hole after finishing his practice, he didnt miss the chance for one longer-term vision. "The goal is to be here on 18, late on Sunday." That would be a major achievement for DeLaet. ' ' '
