Fans react as Ireland and Liverpool legend says 'a few prayers' in Knock Shrine for Jurgen Klopp

In a visit to Knock Shrine, former Liverpool and Ireland player, John Aldridge, took a moment to connect with his spiritual side in saying a "few prayers" for "the quadruple" and for "Jurgen to change his mind".

In a post on social media, the football legend shared a photo of himself outside the holy landmark with the caption: "In the shrine in Knock folks what a spiritual place. Said a few prayers including the quadruple and Jurgen to change his mind."

As the season has progressed beyond its midpoint, Liverpool stands in a strong position across four major competitions, potentially capable of achieving a quadruple - but not without a prayer!

Fans online took to the comments to share whether they think John will have his prayers answered. 

One sports fan replied: "Will settle for the first, don’t think the second has a chance."

Another comically asked: "Is there any statues to Jurgen in the stalls at the car park beside the pictures of the sacred heart and child of prayer?"

One social media user agreed that miracles can come true: "I was there in 1994 saying a prayer for you in that heat at the World Cup".

Meanwhile a disbeliever said, "Even our lord has got his limits".

Liverpool take on Arsenal in the premiere league this Sunday afternoon in a top of the table clash.
