Liverpool: Klopp admits team must improve to make top four
Liverpool left-back Andy Robertson has warned his team-mates they will fall short of their target if they continue to drop points at home to Premier League strugglers. Newcastle grabbed a 95th minute equaliser to draw 1-1 at Anfield on Saturday. Liverpool missed the chance to temporarily move into the top four and are now four points off the Champions League qualification places following Chelsea's 1-0 win at West Ham.
Newcastle join the likes of Fulham, Brighton, Burnley and West Brom to have taken at least a point away from Anfield.
And Robertson admits the players only have themselves to blame, with qualification for Europe's elite club competition out of their hands.
"This club is a Champions League team," Robertson said.
"We got to the quarters-finals this year - and we are still disappointed with that - and two finals in the space of four years and won the Premier League comfortably last year, so to not have Champions League football next year would deflate the whole club, of course it would.
