Jürgen Klopp's message to fans for 2016
Jürgen Klopp has provided a special New Year message to Liverpool fans, promising that he and his players will do all they can to make 2016 a happy year for all Reds.
The manager told Liverpoolfc.com: "First of all, I wish all the fans a Happy New Year!
"[2015] was an intensive year for all LFC fans. The only thing I can really promise is that we will do everything to make sure that, when we are at the same day in 2016 and we look back, it’s easier for all of us to have a smile on our face."
Klopp also reflected on his main targets for this year, one of which is to build on some promising early performances under his tenure by scoring more goals.
The Reds have flattered to deceive in front of goal on occasion in 2015, and the boss is out to make sure a smattering of recent goalfests become a more regular occurrence.
"We want this. I know, usually, you want to see football because of the goals," the German explained.
"But it’s not about talking about this, it’s about working, and that’s what we are doing.
"We have the situations but we have to use them more often, that’s the truth. We had our games with a lot of goals, they weren’t often enough in the Premier League, but we had a few situations: the Southampton game, Manchester City, Chelsea.
"I see it, we are seventh place with a nil [goal difference], the same number of goals scored and conceded and that’s not perfect.
"But it’s not the way to talk about it only, we have to work on it and that’s what we try."
