Ian: Jurgen Klopp is more than just a manager of Liverpool. He is fun, caring and had Liverpool playing some of the best football I have ever seen. He is an total one off.
Chubb: Cannot say emphatically enough how much Jurgen has done for our club. We were a wounded animal when he took over and had been weakened by a series of quite poor managers. He asked us to believe, so we did, and by gosh didn't he deliver! If he had not been competing against Manchester City all that time, he would have won almost everything going.
Oscar: For most of my life Klopp has been a massive figure in football and I am so sad to see him depart.

Jurgen Klopp's leadership at Liverpool has been "a huge act of togetherness", according to Neil Atkinson from The Anfield Wrap.
"He's managed with emotion all the way through," Atkinson told BBC Radio 5 Live on Saturday, before Klopp's final game in charge of the Reds on Sunday.
"He's harnessed what is an exceptionally emotional place and fanbase from all over the world, and that's been part of the magic of the whole thing.
"It's going to be a sad day at Anfield tomorrow. I think he's going to find himself very upset indeed, but all things must pass. He's got a life to go and live.
"Now we find ourselves at the end of this process and we've all been able to prepare for it for an extended period of time. It's no longer a shock - everyone's known it's on the cards - and we've got tomorrow to celebrate the whole thing and play a game of football."
Asked about his best memories of Klopp's time at Anfield, Atkinson added: "The whole of 2018 was incredible.
"It was the determination, I think. If I could relive one year of my life as a Liverpool supporter, it would be 2018 - despite everything in 2019.
"That was the brilliance of Klopp. It was the brilliance of the journey. There was genuinely no messing around.
"It was the greatest year to be a Liverpool supporter and that was because of Jurgen Klopp."
Sutton's predictions: Arsenal v Evertonpublished at 17:14

Chris Sutton is making predictions for every Premier League game this season against a variety of guests.
For this weekend’s final games of the season, he takes on Gladiators star Legend.
Sutton's prediction: 3-0
Sean Dyche is a scrapper and his Everton side are enjoying a strong end to the season. He would like nothing more than to end with a positive result here, but I cannot see past an Arsenal victory.
With 15 wins, one draw and only one defeat from their past 17 Premier League games, the Gunners don't deserve to finish second but that is what is going to happen. Other than the Community Shield, they are going to finish trophyless too.
Arsenal have invited players from their Invincibles side - who remained unbeaten last time they were champions in 2004 - so they will want to put on a show for them.
They should have something to smile about, even if there is no title to celebrate.
Legend's prediction: 5-0
If Spurs had got a result against Manchester City, I think we still would have won this game, but it would have been tighter. The stress would have been outrageous and we might have only won by a goal or two, which would have been a worry if City were only behind us on goal difference.
Now, even though it is not completely over, our players know it kind of is. That takes a lot of the pressure off and this could be an absolute hiding, with Kai Havertz scoring a couple of goals.
Legend on Gunners boss Mikel Arteta: From day one, when I first heard him speak, you could tell he was going to be good, although I didn't think he would be this good.
Even when we are playing badly, you want to get behind the side he has built because they have such amazing team unity. We don't have one megastar and, even though some players are clearly better than others, it feels like the whole squad look at each other as equals, which makes a massive difference. Everyone tracks back and works hard defensively, for example.
Whatever happens this season, Arteta is still young and so are a lot of the team, so you have the feeling that it is only going to get better.
Look at what we have done this year compared to three or four years ago - it is unbelievable. Arteta has created such a positive environment and the club is going in an upward trajectory. This is just the start, hopefully.

Chris Sutton is making predictions for every Premier League game this season against a variety of guests.
For this weekend’s final games of the season, he takes on Gladiators star Legend.
Sutton's prediction: 4-0
I can only see one outcome here. Mohamed Salah to score, Liverpool to go out with a bang under Jurgen Klopp, and send him off with a smile.
Wolves are not in great form, with only one win - and seven defeats - from their past 10 matches, and they have not been good enough as of late.
They were the club who triggered the vote over the future of video assistant referees (VAR) this summer, and they have been wronged by it this season, but Gary O'Neil needs to focus on their performances rather than decisions that are out of their control.
This game is all about Klopp and Liverpool, though. It is going to be an emotional day and I don't think there will be many dry eyes at Anfield - I'll be crying myself, even though I won't be there.
Being serious though, I am gutted he is going because he is a brilliant manager and his departure is an enormous loss to the Premier League as well as to Liverpool.
Klopp is spiky at times, but he always says what he thinks and I admire that. Most football fans will be really sad to see him go, whoever they support.
As well as what Klopp has what won, you have to appreciate how he has pushed City so hard in the seasons where they edged Liverpool to the title. He built an excellent team that could challenge them, and, without him, City would have dominated even more than they have done.
Legend's prediction: 5-1
It's Klopp's last game and it could be a big score. There will be a wild atmosphere.

Arne Slot is inspired by Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola, studying every small detail.
"I certainly don't want to compare myself to Pep, but he is a control freak just like me," Slot said in an interview with Voetbal International in May 2023.
"If I look at myself, I try to win a match in the week before it is played, by conveying the training, pre-match team talks and tactics to the players as perfectly as possible."
He said previously watching Guardiola's teams gives him the "ultimate joy in football".
"There is no team in the world I would rather watch than Manchester City, followed by Napoli, Arsenal and Brighton," added Slot.
"But City - and again it is not my intention to compare us with them - have a similar style of play to how we want to play with Feyenoord: 4-3-3, building up from the back, wanting to apply pressure quickly."
Last season, Leeds and Crystal Palace were said to be interested and Tottenham were very keen on his services, but Slot opted to stay in the Netherlands, where he had just won the title and was looking ahead to guiding Feyenoord in the Champions League.
Dutch legend Marco van Basten doesn't think a move to the Premier League would be a step too high.
"If you get AZ and Feyenoord to play [good] football, you will also get the big clubs to play [good] football," says Van Basten.
"I think it would only become easier for him because you have better players who understand quicker what you want. Those players are also more stubborn, but I think Slot is smart enough to manage that."
'A city of open arms' - Klopp's open letterpublished at 12:17

Outgoing Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has written an open letter to his adoptive city in which he describes it as one "of open arms".
The German will take charge of his final match when Wolves come to Anfield on Sunday, having been with the Reds since October 2015.
In a letter published in the Echo on Saturday, external, Klopp said "the biggest lesson I will take with me is that giving up is definitely not in the Scouse dictionary", adding: "I love this more than I could ever say."
And referring to the "extraordinary" homecoming parades he has experienced - in 2019, when Liverpool won the Champions League for the sixth time and also in 2022, when the Reds claimed both domestic cups but narrowly missed out on the Premier League and another European title - he said, simply: "Wow."
"On and off the pitch, we have created memories between us that will live with me forever.
"Sharing moments of success with the people could only ever be special no matter what club you are at, but the way that Liverpool does it takes it to a whole new level."

Jurgen Klopp is leaving Liverpool having led the club to eight trophies - including the Champions League and a first Premier League title.
But what do you know about his Black Forest roots, and his journey from second division footballer to managerial master?
Sportsworld's John Bennett takes you to Klopp's home village of Glatten, to Mainz where he was a player for a decade, then tasted promotion and relegation as a manager - and to Dortmund where he won trophies, became a celebrity and had a pop song written in his honour.
This BBC World Service programme, which won an SJA award for best audio documentary in 2021, is the comprehensive backstory of one of the most revered coaches of modern times - updated to include Klopp's nine years at Anfield and the legacy he leaves in Liverpool.
Hear from school friends, players, executives and fans about how he developed his coaching philosophy, his big personality, his gifts as an orator and the man-management skills that set him apart from many of his peers.
Before Arne Slot announced he was going to replace Jurgen Klopp as the new Liverpool boss, the Planet Premier League podcast took a look at whether the Dutchman is the right man to replace the outgoing Reds manager.
'I am looking forward to seeing how Anfield sends him off'published at 10:53

It is Jurgen Klopp's passion, rather than a key individual moment, that stands out for me over the years.
Especially in interviews, with some of his one-liners! His personality on the touchline when he celebrates and the way he puts his arm around players too.
Klopp has just been a really good fit for Liverpool.
They have had success and they have changed the whole football club - on and off the pitch. There has been a new training ground and the stadium has been done, as well as the squad being revamped.
Everything he has been involved in has been a whole new Liverpool.
He has done a wonderful job, with a work ethic that is second to none and with a real passion and enjoyment. His smile has changed over the years and it seems to have got a little bit brighter!
It is a sad day but I am looking forward to seeing how Anfield sends him off.
It will be special and they will do it right, I am sure of it.

Some people on social media are saying they will be crying come Sunday evening.
Not tears of joy at a trophy win nor of frustration at a final-day nightmare, but tears because of the closing of a chapter.
When Liverpool host Wolves on the Premier League's final day, Anfield's farewell to manager Jurgen Klopp looks set to be, to borrow a term the Merseyside youth use, 'heavy'.
Many fans did not want this day to come - like the return to work after 14 days of sea and sunshine. Others seem right up for the party and songs of farewell, though I wonder if sadness will still come for them.
In eight full seasons under the German, the Reds have never finished lower than fifth. In the eight before his arrival, they had slumped lower than that in five of them.
Klopp has brought progress and a new, more powerful synergy between player and fan. He has brought stirring comebacks. Almost every trophy worth winning has been won - and it feels like every emotion worth living has been lived by the supporters.

A magnetic connection has blossomed between manager and fan.
Klopp stood on the touchline embodying what Liverpudlians the world over hoped to convey: attack, take it on, fight, invest yourself. Whether home, away or at a neutral venue, his side wanted to play their way.
The great Bill Shankly once said: "I want to build a team that's invincible, so that they have to send a team from bloody Mars to beat us."
There were spells when Klopp appeared to have moulded a team Shankly would have been proud of - a fan's dream and a rival's worst nightmare.
"It's much more important what people think when you leave," Klopp said in his first news conference as Liverpool manager in October 2015.
When Shankly left in 1974, the Reds won the league seven times in the next 10 years.
Change, emotional though it can be, does bring with it new horizons.
It seems only right Sunday brings a melting pot of feelings for Liverpool fans, just like the eight or more years that have gone before.
'Uncertainty throughout the whole season is difficult'published at 10:14

Everton defender James Tarkowski says he is "proud" of how the team have dealt with "uncertainty" of the season.
The Toffees have dealt with two points deductions for breaking profit and sustainability rules, which left them fighting for their place in the Premier League.
Speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live's Friday Football Social, Tarkowski said: "It was tough. It was just the uncertainty of what was going to happen a lot of the time. We got hit with the 10 points out of the blue, then it was about the appeal for so long.
"Then we got the second charge. We got some points back and then we thought we might get some more taken away, so that uncertainty throughout the whole season is difficult to deal with. But I think we have coped with it quite well.
"With everything that has been chucked at us, to get 48 points on the board with one game to go makes me proud of where we have come in a really difficult season."
Tarkowski also praised 35-year-old club captain Seamus Coleman, who has been offered a new contract, for his influence in helping the side get through the difficult season.
"There is just one standout character - Seamus Coleman. If anyone knows him, or has seen him work day to day, it is incredible.
"He is priceless to us for what he brings every day to the team and to the club. Even when he is injured he'll do a speech before the game, or maybe the day before he will galvanise us.
"He is just everything to Everton. He is basically a fan who plays for the club because of how much he does for them. We’ve got a few big characters, but Seamus is the standout one."
