One decent result, followed by a terrible one. And then, a couple of encouraging wins – ruined by an inexplicable loss. Rinse and repeat. That’s how Liverpool’s season has been going so far. But their coach Jurgen Klopp focuses on the positives as he urges his players to finish the season strongly and get the confidence back in time for the next campaign.”I would say that we’ve had a few really good games this season. We’ve had a lot of good games in the Champions League and a few really good ones in the Premier League. They’ve mainly been at home, but we’ve even had good away games. It’s just in some of them, we didn’t get results.”Klopp when told he can go to a club with more money & spend that money: “Yes, but this is MY CLUB. Are you suggesting I quit here & wait for the next job? I don’t know what you want from me honestly. We have to do business in the market, and we will do.” (@BeanymanSports) pic.twitter.com/xh3RxIBwBB— The Anfield Talk (@TheAnfieldTalk) April 14, 2023 Sitting eighth in the Premier League, Liverpool are 12 points away from the top four with nine games remaining and have lost more league games in 2023 than they did throughout the whole of 2022 – the year they won two trophies and were runners-up in the Champions League and Premier League.Their away form has been a huge reason for that drop-off. Having won 10 of 15 away matches at this stage last season, they’ve managed just three victories on the road this time around.”If you have consistency, then the difference between away form and home form is not as big as it looks this year. We never had this issue in all our successful seasons. We had an impressive away record and that’s what you need.”##NAJAVA_MECA_7180196##The Reds have only lost once at home in the Premier League this season and last weekend’s impressive comeback against leaders Arsenal again reminded Klopp what is achievable in front of their own supporters.”It’s a start that we have to build on for next season, but we can’t rely on it. Of course, it’s encouraging but it’s not that I think ‘Okay, that part is sorted, we can focus on the away form’. We know we have to work on our football in general and the way we set things up.”PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 31SaturdayAston Villa – Newcastle United (in progress)17.00: (2.85) Southampton (3.00) Crystal Palace (2.81)17.00: (2.73) Chelsea (3.20) Brighton (2.75)17.00: (2.16) Everton (3.45) Fulham (3.90)17.00: (1.53) Tottenham (4.30) Bournemouth (6.50)17.00: (2.60) Wolverhampton (3.05) Brentford (2.75)19.30: (1.20) Man.City (9.00) Leicester (15.0)Sunday16.00: (6.25) West Ham (4.10) Arsenal (1.63)18.30: (4.90) Nott.Forest (3.60) Man.Utd.
