Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has stated that the Reds haven’t forgotten what they were good enough to achieve last season – when they were just a few games away from a quadruple.
Last year’s Champions League finalists have made their worst start to a season in a long time, sitting ninth in the Premier League afrer 12 matches and being thrashed 4-1 by Napoli in Europe.
That has led many to believe Klopp’s Liverpool have passed their peak, but they looked back to their best on Tuesday night, beating the Italian team 2-0 at Anfield in a match they largely dominated.
After it, the manager stated that his players haven’t forgotten what they’re capable of doing and just needed to work through their struggles.
“We are Liverpool, a top team,” he said. “Nobody forgot what we did last year. The boys didn’t forget that but it now isn’t important really. I know people might get sick of it when I keep saying it but we really have to fight through and in that moment, then the football has a good chance to come back.
“The real football that we can play. But we showed everything tonight, pieces of really good football and defensive stuff was on a high level. Napoli is in the moment a real force so it could be extremely difficult for us but the boys played a really good game.
“We need consistency and stability. We will take the right conclusions from this game even though the next will be a difficult game. We will take the good stuff out of this game and start the next fight against Tottenham.”
