Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has hinted at his future with the club following their 0-0 draw with Chelsea in the Premier League.
Liverpool's Premier League clash with Chelsea
on Tuesday night resulted in a goalless draw, leaving Liverpool in eighth place
in the table and seven points behind the top four with a game in hand. In an
effort to shake things up after their loss to Manchester City, Liverpool
manager Jurgen Klopp made six changes to the starting lineup, including leaving
out key players such as Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk, and Trent
Alexander-Arnold.
Liverpool now has 10 remaining Premier League
fixtures to try and secure a spot in Europe. So far, the Reds have only managed
to amass 43 points from their 28 matches, which is 23 points lower than at the
same point last season.
After the match, Klopp was asked if he had
ever experienced a similarly challenging campaign in his career, to which he
responded: "No, thank God. I wouldn't be the manager of Liverpool if I had
a couple of these seasons."
“We
have to get through it. That’s how life is. You have to fight to change your
fortunes.”
Klopp added: “Both teams played last year in
two finals, two of the best 0-0s I ever saw. Today it was two teams low on
confidence but really fighting. We’re fine with a point, a lot of good stuff.
We showed a lot of fight. We have to keep going.
“We
struggled with the last line in the beginning but changed three times. The
balls in behind were tricky but then we recovered well. We got better into the
game.
“The midfield was well-connected. We had our
opportunities up front. It was not speculator. It was a step. That’s what we
have to do – make steps. Sometimes smaller steps.
“We
need to have these chances. You need to keep having chances. I’m not disappointed
about that. They scored twice but both goals were disallowed.
“I
didn’t expect a team with six changes to play the best game of the season. The
boys who came in used their opportunity and showed they were ready.
“We
cannot talk about the goals we have if we don’t get points. We don’t give up,
we will fight. We can talk a lot but we have to show. We saw a step in the
right direction tonight. Some needed a rest.”
