Read our privacy policy Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp joked he is six times happier than he was a year ago with his team top of the Premier League. “Obviously it’s better to be first than sixth, but both gives you a lot of work to do for the rest of the season.” While much is made of Liverpool’s attacking options – they have scored in all but one of the last 37 matches – it is their defence on which the foundations of this season have been built. Recently we stepped up counter-pressing-wise, which helps as well, as that means everybody reacts better – front line, midfield line and in the last line.” We are not desperate because we don't think we concede all the time Klopp on the lack of pressure on his goalscorers That defensive security also has a positive effect at the other end of the pitch as players know they are not likely to concede many, if at all, so there is rarely a necessity to score a lot. “We are not desperate – we were a bit against Manchester United to be 100 per cent honest – because we don’t think we concede all the time and then we have to score immediately,” said Klopp.
