It is almost impossible for Liverpool to finish in the Top 4 this season, Jurgen Klopp has said. He recently revealed that the team has made very insane mistakes that might end up costing them this campaign.
According to him, it is a shame that nowadays, opponents do not even have to create lots of chances against the Reds because his players keep making one mistake after another.
Klopp added that he is very lucky that the club’s owner, sports director and players do not doubt the process at the club, and he expects the Reds to fight their way through the current struggles eventually.
His words, “The opponent usually doesn’t need a lot of chances against us because we make big mistakes, insane ones that can almost be described as slapstick.”
“On the other hand, we create a lot of chances, in the ‘expected goals’ we are still second behind Manchester City in the Premier League, but far from them in the ones we actually scored. This problem has been going on throughout the season.”
“I like to be an optimist, but in the league it is almost impossible to qualify in the competition for the places that we have.”
“At Tottenham, Gareth Bale is now playing again, and they are also in the running. Plus City and Manchester United, who are far away. Chelsea is on the rise. Reaching Champions League qualification through the league will be difficult, we know that. You don’t usually win the Champions League itself in a year with injury worries as big as we have, you know that, Lothar.”
On missing out on the UCL, “It would mean a huge financial loss. Otherwise not that much. I am aware: in almost all football clubs in the world, I would be questioned in a situation like our current one. This is completely normal, reality, the business. I would accept that immediately, but it’s different here in Liverpool.”
“Our owners, the sports director, even the players: nobody doubts anyone here. We have accepted the situation for ourselves and fight our way through it.”
