It is so many times this season we have created much more xG or chances than the amount of goals we score.<\/p>\n “Usually in the Premier League<\/a> you see a lot of teams outperforming their xG but that definitely is not what we are doing. Then the game stays tight until the end and we struggle to keep clean sheets.<\/p>\n “We haven\u2019t had as many clean sheets as you would want if you want to go higher up in the table.

I don\u2019t think it helps us also that after 80 minutes people start to go home, it doesn\u2019t help us at all. Stick with us.<\/p>\n “Everyone is noticing that and when we concede a goal still people are leaving the stadium \u2013 you don\u2019t leave when we score. I understand the frustration but we need them, we need everybody, and that\u2019s the most important.”<\/p>\n Join our LFC WhatsApp community <\/a>and get all the latest LFC news, views, transfer gossip and more, as it happens We also treat our community members to special offers, promotions, and adverts from us and our partners.
