da dobrowin： Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has told his players that they should “enjoy” their games more, despite a disappointing run.
da dobrowin： The Merseyside outfit have not won any of their last three Premier League games, which has pushed them 10 points adrift of league leaders Chelsea.
The Reds went from second to fourth last weekend following a 3-2 defeat to relegation battlers Swansea City at Anfield.
Klopp’s men fought from 2-0 down to draw level 2-2 thanks to goals from Roberto Firmino, but they were undone in the 74th minute when Gylfi Sigurdsson found the winner for Swansea.
Liverpool have been criticised for their defensive frailties this season, having conceded 27 league goals and recording just six clean sheets.

At the other end of the pitch, the Merseyside outfit have a strong attacking presence, and Klopp has told the players to start enjoying their high-tempo style.
The former Borussia Dortmund boss told the UK’s written press:
“We are Liverpool, a really good football-playing side, and we don’t enjoy the job we have to do. It is not as though we are a team at the bottom of the league that has to defend 80 per cent or 90 per cent of the time.
“In most of our games we are dominant, so we have to enjoy this, even when we don’t come through after five minutes.”
Liverpool face a must-win clash against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge next Tuesday, but if they lose to the title favourites, then their chances of winning the league will be dashed.
