WE'LL LEARN IT BYHURT

Pain teaches Klopp stars vital lesson

- DAVID MADDOCK

JURGEN KLOPP believes Liverpool have learned the ultimate lesson from this disastrous season – how not to do things. 

And the Kop boss says “the future” has already started for his team, with the remainder of a painful campaign used to drill home those lessons to ensure they hit the ground running next term.

Klopp’s blunt message – to his players as much as fans – was that the problems for his side stem from the sudden loss of their ability to counter-press.

He said: “So what we learned this season is a lot – how it doesn’t work out! We learned a lot which we didn’t want to learn.

“But after this season there is another one that is already in my mind. We have to build on what we do now and what we learn now.

“We have the chance to learn a few things we really can use.”
