Jurgen Klopp has called on his experienced players to raise their game in the run-in for the Premier League title.
"When we were in a position we didn't win the league in the end, so that's how it is. We lost by a point and stuff like this, so what kind of experience is that – [that] we know how to get there?" Klopp said.
"It's not about that, that is not the main difference. It's good to know that you are good, that you can cause other teams problems. But the thing is clear: if you want to be champion in the Premier League, you have to be close to perfection.
"And if we are not perfect, you have to deal with the setbacks in the best possible way or in the perfect way
"We need Trent Alexander-Arnold, of course, but we need him in a really good shape, in form and that's now what he has to get up to. It's not about him, it's not his fault if he wouldn't be, it's just the situation, so how quick can we get him rolling? Same for Diogo, for Robbo [Andy Robertson], it's the same for Mo [Salah].
"They all had injuries which they never had before, if you want – the length. Dom Szoboszlai, same. Curtis Jones, the same," Klopp added.
The gaffer is absolutely spot on. Liverpool's senior players have underwhelmed in recent games, particularly in the final third where the Reds have scored one goal in three consecutive games.
