Jurgen Klopp happy with Liverpool progress

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says that he is happy with the direction his team is heading in after seven months in charge at Anfield.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has said that he is happy with the progress the team has made under his stewardship so far.

The former Borussia Dortmund boss replaced Brendan Rodgers at Anfield seven months ago and has since gone on to win 21 of his 46 games in charge of the club, drawing 15 and losing 10.

Liverpool will have the chance to progress into their second final of the season if they can overturn a 1-0 deficit against Villarreal in the second leg of their Europa League semi-final tomorrow night, and Klopp believes that the club are heading in the right direction.

"In October Liverpool changed their manager. That's not the sign of a perfect situation. Something went wrong before then. After the change we didn't change everything immediately, we developed," he told reporters.

"We still had problems - injuries. We played sometimes really good, sometimes not that good, but only two really bad games - Watford and Swansea. This team has built consistency step by step, this good shape and good moment we should use.

"These players gave me a lot of positive signs about their qualities and quality is always potential plus talent plus attitude. That is really good. If we play our best then we can go to the final."

Liverpool are bidding to reach the final of a European competition for the first time since 2007.
