Jurgen Klopp, the manager of Liverpool, maintains that it is too soon to pronounce his team “out of the woods” in terms of eradicating the inconsistent play that has marred their season.
With their win over West Ham in midweek, they have now won three straight games, are now unbeaten in five games, and still have a slim chance of finishing in the top four.
Liverpool has the opportunity to win four straight league games on Sunday at home against Tottenham for just the second time this season; the first time occurred in November and December and was separated by the World Cup. However, Klopp warned against assuming that everything has suddenly fallen into place.
“It is, for me too early to speak about consistency,” he said.
“Winning three games is not for me consistent, it is good but can only be the start of something.
“It is about consistency you show in performances even more than results. For the outside world it is the result but for us it must be performances because that is what we work with.
“I am happy with that in the moment because in all the games, as different as they were, I saw a lot of things we want to see in the games and that is then really good.
“There is always something to improve and that’s fine that’s what we try to do as well.
“I am absolutely OK with the moment but it is not that I already trust ourselves that much to say ‘That’s it now, we are out of the woods’ because this season gave us a few lessons I didn’t want to learn, but learned.
“We have to be super-aggressive, super-greedy and show that the most important prize in football is the three points at the weekend and that’s all we have to be focused on.”
