Programme notesJürgen Klopp: This is what we are in it for so let's enjoy every single second
The Reds are involved in a tight three-team race for the Premier League title and have a Europa League quarter-final versus Atalanta on the horizon, having already lifted the Carabao Cup in Klopp’s final campaign at Anfield.
Last time out, Liverpool came from behind to win for a club-record seventh time this season in the top flight when Brighton & Hove Albion were beaten 2-1 in L4.
And, in his notes for the official matchday programme for this evening’s home clash with Sheffield United, Klopp writes: “For us, it is about picking up from where we left off on Sunday when we produced the best performance of my time here against Roberto De Zerbi’s Brighton.
“Not only did we have more possession than we have had previously, we had better possession. This was key.
“Our reaction to going behind was a huge factor in the way the game turned out. Yes, our finishing could and should have been better at times, but there was so much to like about the way we played against a really, really tricky opponent.
“I said afterwards that it is up to us how much we enjoy the situation we are in and I could not mean this more. No-one else gets to decide this, only us. There will be pressure from outside, there will be difficult moments and there will be times when events can swing against us, but you know what? This is what we are in it for so let’s enjoy every single second.
“Everyone talks about the passion and noise of our crowd and rightly so, but our supporters also know that football is to enjoy. Doing this now would be really good I would say.
“We all know that there are two other outstanding teams going for the biggest prize in English football and we respect them both. So we cannot decide what the outcome will be at this stage, but we can decide how much we enjoy the experience and we know that if we do enjoy it we might even give ourselves a better chance.
“I know there will be moments when our heart rates are 180 or 200 or whatever, but if we want ‘normal’ we could all do something else and we do not want to do that, so let’s give it a try.”
