Klopp explains why he is ‘absolutely not happy’ just yet

Matt Stead

Jurgen Klopp says he is “absolutely not happy” at Liverpool just yet.

Liverpool are third in the Premier League table, and almost assured of a place in the Champions League quarter-finals.

A victory over West Ham on Saturday would put them second, one point ahead of Manchester United, who face Chelsea on Sunday.

But Klopp is not content as things stand.

“I’m absolutely not happy,” he said. “I want to be happy at the end of the season.

“It’s not a word I have in my mind right now. Sometimes more, sometimes less.

“Immediately after the game against Porto, it was all about West Ham.

“What I want is that we are all really ready for this game tomorrow. We need an atmosphere…they will defend deep.

“It’s a good position but that’s only a basis for the next few games. We need to be ready for a difficult game tomorrow.

“And they always have opportunities with counter attacks or set pieces to score themselves.

“We have to be at our best tomorrow.”
