Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp accepts results are all that matter at this stage of the season as he looks to end his final Merseyside derby with a rare victory at Goodison Park. (More Football News)
Klopp has lost just one of 18 matches against the Toffees 바카라 the behind-closed-doors game at Anfield in February 2021 바카라 but across Stanley Park his record is just two wins and five draws.
He was surprised by some of the reaction to Sunday바카라s 3-1 win at Fulham, which attracted criticism for not being the most fluent, but insists winning was the main objective, with no margin for error in a title race in which they are currently third favourites.
바카라I know this is the last part of the season: it is not about playing the freshest football of the whole year 바카라 that would be strange if that works out with the schedule all the teams have,바카라 said Klopp, who will be without Diogo Jota for at least a fortnight after the forward injured himself scoring at Craven Cottage.
바카라But you have to win games and I think we know how to do that and we have to make sure everybody understands the way we want to try (on Wednesday).
바카라I wouldn바카라t say it was straightforward but until two weeks ago everything was probably better than anyone would have expected.
바카라Then you have this week (losing to Atalanta and Crystal Palace) when the performances were not as bad as the results felt afterwards.
바카라And then it is like, 바카라Why don바카라t you score enough? If you look at our numbers, yes, there are two teams who have scored more than us (Arsenal and Manchester City) but it is not like there are two teams who scored 50 goals more than us.
바카라It is always about how you can get the right feeling again for the situation and the next game and we usually do that. I am really happy now with the response.바카라
Liverpool바카라s disappointing run of games at Goodison stretches beyond Klopp바카라s arrival in 2015, with nine of the last 11 encounters ending in draws.
Klopp바카라s five draws are more than at any other away ground, but that has to change on Wednesday night if they are to maintain the pressure on Arsenal and Manchester City.
바카라I don바카라t know exactly when my first derby was, 2016, but when I (first) came here it would not be honest if I said that is my game of the year. It wasn바카라t, I knew how important it was for the people, but didn바카라t feel it then.
바카라Now I know it and feel it. My understanding developed over the years. They are always difficult games, especially there, but it is not too important, what we had in the past.바카라
Losing Jota will not help in unlocking what is likely to be a determined Everton defence, especially as Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz have all looked below their best in recent weeks.
바카라Unfortunately Diogo scored the goal, felt a little bit and now we found out it바카라s a little bit more so he will be out for two weeks,바카라 said Klopp, who revealed Jota had complained of a hip problem in the last couple of weeks.
바카라It바카라s a small one but we are late in the season, so obviously now it바카라s not a great moment for each injury pretty much.
바카라When I say two weeks, actually really it바카라s pretty much nothing but enough to not be available.바카라
