Klopp admits he would have taken CL qualification at start of season

Liverpool fans expected this to be a transitional season but when Jurgen Klopp announced he was leaving the club, it meant that we needed more immediate success yet that doesn’t mean it’s been unsuccessful if we don’t see any more.

Speaking on Sky Sports, the boss responded to claims that our campaign has already been a monumental success and said: “It is, it is – who would’ve thought that? Absolutely right.

“I wouldn’t have been angry if someone told me at the start of the season if we could just qualify for the Champions League.

“I wouldn’t have just taken it as you’ve got to let the season have a chance but it’s been a positive season. But if you went and asked people with a microphone after the Palace game, would they have said it was a great season?

“It’s not like that. We are influenced by things that happen recently but the job is to get a positive view again – it starts with me and I’m in a good mood. I will try my best to give that to the boys. The next big job is in front of us.”

Having been top of the league with less than 10 games remaining, it will hurt if we don’t clinch the silverware but the Reds have been overperforming for what we all expected from them in August.

Let’s hope the positivity is back soon and that we can regain our place at the top of the tree, just in time for when the campaign grinds to a conclusion.
