Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp believes that his team's performance has not decreased, despite falling to fourth place and not scoring any goals in the last 3 matches in the English Premier League.
After the 0-0 draw with Manchester United at Anfield on Sunday, Liverpool played 3 consecutive league matches without conceding the net for the first time since March 2005.
Klopp said that his team is not suffering from exhaustion, but it needs improvement in ending the attacks, and told reporters before receiving Burnley in the league on Thursday, "We did not score many goals, and this does not mean that the performance has declined. We know that we are in a place we do not want and the reasons are not very important," We must play football at a high level, and this was not achieved in the last third of the field. "
"We must work to score goals, we must be calm and make good decisions, and the situation will change," he added.
The German coach believes that Liverpool must play with "almost perfect" performance to retain the league title, after Leicester City became the latest team to rise to the top on Tuesday to clinch the summit from Manchester United, who succeeded Liverpool earlier.
"The changes are always going on because the positions are close, and this makes the league race different this year and we must prepare well, and I know that what is important is the results alone, and the last result was good (a draw against United)."
Liverpool are fourth with 34 points from 18 games, 4 points behind leaders Leicester, who has played more matches than the defending champions.
Klopp admitted that his team did not achieve progress in its level compared to last season, and considered that the current situation is not disastrous, but urged his players to work in order to get out of it and improve the results of the team.
