Last season, Liverpool won the league with 71 points at this stage. “For a manager of Liverpool, there’s always pressure.” “And if you ask Jürgen the same question, I think everyone showed at the stadium today—he was and is really loved.” “But also, he had to get results in for a club like Liverpool.” Kuyt pointed to last season’s success but admitted this campaign has been tougher.

“Last season was something really amazing to win the league… and this year I think the team is working really hard to get that momentum back again.” “We want them to do better in the Premier League, but if you want to have success, you have to work really hard.” He also kept hope alive for Europe. “Liverpool has always been a European team who can have a lot of success, and who knows, they can still do it this year in the Champions League.” On new signings, he asked for patience.

“To adapt to English football is not easy; it’s not for everyone to be an immediate impact.” “I believe in the second season he understands what the culture in the Liverpool club is about, and then he can fully focus on his performance.” Kuyt ended with a reminder about Mohamed Salah. “I think we have to be very appreciative and grateful for what he has done for the club.” “I think his impact will be really felt once he is not here anymore.” “That’s usually how it is—in the moment we tend to forget really quick.” Want to get the latest Liverpool news direct to your phone?
