Liverpool beat rivals Manchester United 7-0 in March, with Cody Gakpo, Darwin Nunez, Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino scoring.
Jurgen Klopp called Liverpool's campaign a "bad season" and admitted a few "highlights", such as the 7-0 loss to rivals Manchester United, only made him "angrier".
Liverpool are making a late effort to qualify for the Champions League, after having won the last six matches in the Premier League. They are currently only one point behind fourth-placed United, despite having played one more game.
"When you've just had a bad season, like we had a couple of weeks ago with some highlights, it just makes things even more confusing," Klopp said before Liverpool's game against Liverpool. Leicester on Monday. "It made me even angrier. "We can play like that but most of the time we play like that so it's really not good. So this period is extremely important because it gives all of us a big hint as to where everyone is. what it's going to be like and what we're all going to be." know we're in the early stages, we need to improve, make things more natural and clear to the guys about exactly what we want.
"That's why it's so important to start early and not play a season and finish 10th or 11th. Everyone knows we're on the right track and that's really helpful." Klopp said last month that a 7-0 win over United was Liverpool's main highlight of the season, given their inability to compete for the title.
“I always thought I would have time for these things after my career,” he said. “So this season, if we don't do something really special, the 7-0 win over United will be remembered.

"I hope when people talk about it in a couple of years, they'll come back to it and [say] 'this was the year we beat United 7-0' and they might say something. That's nice besides, and then we're still eligible to attend anyway, but if not, we've got to take it too.
"We take what we have, that's it. Not that we started the season saying if we qualify for the Europa League that would be great, but the season has taught us a few things. And that's good. If it's the Europa League, it's the Europa League, fine.
"We have to really focus on the game ahead. Try to win, try to play convincingly, try to be uncomfortable in confrontation, all that."
