After a club-record total of 97 points failed to land the Premier League title for Liverpool in 2018-19, there was no other option: they could only ‘do more’ at the next opportunity, according to the boss.
The Reds were certainly fulfilling that objective before the suspension of the top flight due to the COVID-19 pandemic, winning 27 of their 29 games and racing into a 25-point lead at the summit.
That reaction is a source of pride for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who has explained how Klopp led the transformation of disappointment into motivation.
“You can look at it two ways,” Oxlade-Chamberlain said of Liverpool’s mindset last summer, during a video call with Premier League Productions.
