Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp has stated that he is already setting his sights on next season and has urged his team to use their remaining matches in the Premier League to prepare strongly. Klopp told reporters: "If we do not qualify for any European competition, it will clearly be a huge disappointment, but we must make sure that we do not waste time during that period." He hopes that "the team can extract some things from this season that are more useful than just realizing that it has gone wrong."
Liverpool has had a disappointing run in the Premier League this season, currently sitting eighth in the standings with 47 points, nine points behind the fourth place that secures qualification for next season's Champions League. Klopp, who saw his team crush Leeds United 6-1 last Monday, has made tactical changes in recent weeks as the Merseyside team looks to rebuild before next season.
