According to Jurgen Klopp, he hopes that when Liverpool’s season is remembered by supporters, they will recall a memorable 7-0 victory over Manchester United.
On March 5, Klopp’s team gave Anfield its most pleasant day of the season when they thrashed one of their fiercest rivals by a record margin.
Just as the team seemed to be improving under Erik ten Hag, United suffered its worst defeat since 1931.
The big additions Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo were both on fire, suggesting an improvement in form for the final stretch as Liverpool racked up six goals in the second half.
However, Liverpool lost the next five games, leaving them with only the Community Shield to add to their collection of trophies.

What Did Klopp Say?
Klopp was asked if he ever reflects on chaotic entertaining football like this weekend’s opponents Tottenham have provided, and gave an honest assessment.
“Sometimes I enjoy football,” he said. “I enjoy us from time to time but thinking back and thinking ‘oh my god that’s what we did’ that doesn’t happen really.
“I’m too much in the moment which is maybe a bit of a shame to be honest but I always thought I will have time for these things after my career.
“So this season, if we don’t do something really special, it will be remembered for the 7-0 against United.
“I hope people when they speak about it in a few years will look back and say ‘Ah it was the year when we beat Man United 7-0!’

“If they could say something nice on top of that and after that we still qualified for whatever, so that would be nice but if not we have to take that as well.
“We did what we did and for a long period of time it was really good, even this year we had some really good moments, but in general what we lacked this year was consistency.
“That’s what we have to change and that’s what we are working on.”
