Jurgen Klopp says Liverpool finishing in top four is still a success

Jurgen Klopp admits Tottenham is an 'interesting project'
Jurgen Klopp admits Tottenham is an 'interesting project'

Jurgen Klopp insists Liverpool finishing in the top four remains a more realistic target than the "dream" of being Premier League champions.

Liverpool have not finished in the Champions League qualification places in consecutive seasons since the 2008 and 2009 campaigns.

Klopp could repeat that feat with another top-four finish this season, with his side looking to extend their two-point advantage over fifth-placed Tottenham at Anfield on Sunday, live on Sky Sports Premier League.

"When you start a season you can dream of something and you have to make a realistic target as well," said Klopp.

"Being champion is probably the dream - not only at Liverpool but especially at Liverpool. Because of the season City is playing that is quite difficult. Then I would prefer to be second, to be honest, if you cannot be first.

"But if you are second, third or fourth at the end of the season when you look back all three positions are good and similarly difficult to reach.

How long until Klopp is criticised?

How long does Jurgen Klopp have until his trophyless tenure at Liverpool draws criticism from fans? Jamie Carragher examines...

"Everybody thinks Arsenal is away but they are not. In one matchday if one of us is losing and Arsenal winning, then they are five points [behind]. Tottenham is behind all of us in the Champions League position at the moment, so [top four] is for sure a success."

While Liverpool sold Philippe Coutinho to Barcelona for £146m in January, Tottenham have managed to keep hold of their core group of players.

Kyle Walker's move to Manchester City last summer remains the only major departure, and Klopp admits he is envious of Spurs' ability to retain their top assets.

"I can only say with all the respect that Tottenham is a really interesting project. I don't know too much about Tottenham, about their circumstances, but obviously the group wants to stay together. That is another good thing," said Klopp.

Harry Kane will naturally attract interest from wealthy clubs, says Klopp

"Harry Kane is still there, the whole world is going nuts obviously transfer wise and I think if someone has too much money or more than enough then it would make sense to ask, 'Don't you want to play for our team?' He is obviously at an outstanding level since I was in England.

"Dele Alli - not the same season as last season but still the highest quality - [Christian] Eriksen constantly and [Heung-min] Son really good. They are just a good side and they are still together.

"The whole world buys players from everywhere but no one buys one player from Tottenham. Maybe they don't want to go. You can imagine working together helps a lot.

"With these players and their age group, the players are closer to 20 than 30, so that is a very interesting project."

Loser talk. You were bundesliga champion. You were brought in to make us challenge with the funds we have. Lowering expectations in season 3.

Ah, The Messiah is tainted goods already. :)

Klopp is challenging, however, in sport as within life it's one thing to challenge, we've done that regularly over the last 28 years, it's another to achieve i.e. be crowned Champions. As Long as we continue to sell our best players, unless Klopp is a wonder worker, we will continue to challenge, but won't be Champions and even IF we do become Champions; like Dortmund such an accomplishment, as with with Dortmund; won't be sustainable over a long term. Unless . . . .

There is no such thing as slow progress. The game/market is dynamic. Progress is only relative to the current season a team plays in.

He never knew Bill , if he had said that near him he would have got a clip round the ear, off Bill or Bob, whoever was closest .

Top 4 will be classed as a success by FSG , I class it as also ran , unless the CL is won by virtue of it, then it might mean something.

Stop reading the headline and not the article JB. He doesn't say anything like "finishing in the top 4 is a success". He says that getting in the top 4 is difficult, which it is.

not since the 80s mate, only the champions league still is.

1. the league.
2.champions league.
3. 2nd 3rd 4th
4, FA cup
5 league cup.

its no good winning the FA CUP and finishing outside the top 4 is it, wigan can do that .

once we eventually win the league, then the champions league will then be back to number 1,
my opinion

So 'progress' only counts within the season? Improvement from season to season isn't really 'progress'? Bizarre.
