Jurgen Klopp aims dig at Man Utd while speaking on Liverpool's struggles this campaign

Jurgen Klopp has aimed a new dig at Manchester United as he named Liverpool's 7-0 victory over the Red Devils as his moment of the campaign. 

 The German coach has endured a tough season in charge of the Reds, who are battling for a place in Europe next campaign. 

  They have experienced a downturn in results and find themselves seventh in the table, behind Newcastle United, Man Utd, Tottenham and Aston Villa in the race for a spot in Europe. 

 There have been some bright moments for the club though, including a 9-0 beating of Bournemouth. 

But it was the stunning 7-0 win over United in March that sticks out most in his mind. Doubles from Cody Gakpo, Mo Salah and Darwin Nunez, as well as Firmino's late strike secured a win for the Reds at Anfield that day. 

And it is one that Klopp will look back on in years to come. "I always thought I would have time for these things after my career. So this season, if we don't do something really special, will be remembered for the 7-0 against United," he said ahead of Sunday's visit of Tottenham.


"I hope when people speak about it in a few years they will look back on it and [say] 'that is the year we beat United 7-0' and that they could say something nice on top of that. And after that we qualified still for whatever. That will be nice, but if not then we have to take that as well. 

 "We take what we get, that's how it is. It's not that we started the season and said if we qualify for the Europa League it would be fantastic but the season taught us a few things. And that's absolutely fine. If it's Europa League then it's Europa League, absolutely fine. 

 "We have to be just really focused on the game coming up, that's in this moment Tottenham. Try to win it, try to play in a convincing way, try to be uncomfortable to play against, all these kinds of things." 

  "It's, for me, too early to speak about consistency. For me, winning three is not consistent. It's good but can only be the start of something. It's about consistency you show in performances, even more than in results," he said. 

 "I know in the outside world it's the result but, for us obviously, it must be the performance because that's what we work with. I'm 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's then really good. That's really pleasing for the coach inside – that these things are still possible. We want to focus on us – and that's what we do – but we cannot ignore the quality of the opponent, so we have to be ready for that as well."
