Klopp: 'Attackers must remain positive'

Jurgen Klopp believes that having Philippe Coutinho, Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah on the field is an "unbelievable threat" for opposing sides.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has backed his 'Fab Four' to get it right in front of goal after struggling to convert their chances over the past month.

Since putting four past Arsenal in a scintillating display on August 27, the Reds have scored just seven times in their last six outings in all competitions.

A number of chances once again came and went against Spartak Moscow in midweek, which would ultimately come back to haunt the Merseyside outfit as they were held to a 1-1 draw in the Champions League.

Klopp is unconcerned by the failure to put the ball into the back of the net on a more regular basis, though, insisting that Philippe Coutinho, Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah will soon click back into gear.

"Like it is in life and in football, you have to keep on going," he told reporters. "We speak about the things we have influence on. But do you think I should speak about the two headers, the one Roberto [Firmino] had and the one Mo Salah had, during the game against Moscow?

"Tell them 'look, if you hit it a little bit more', or whatever. That's not how it works. We all know these boys will score. The difficult thing in a situation like this is to stay confident.

"My work is to make sure the boys do it better. It makes no sense to criticise finishing. It's about creating and using the quality of the players we have. It's about how we can create more. It's still my responsibility, but I cannot shoot from the bench. I don't think that [Spartak] game is one to judge them on.

"When we have all four on the pitch in the best moments they are an unbelievable threat. But they cannot win anything without the other six outfield players on the pitch. The big improvement of this team in the moment is that we really create a lot. So far it doesn't lead to the results you want, but we cannot create bigger chances."

Liverpool return to action this weekend with a trip to take on Newcastle United in the Premier League, looking for just a second win in seven outings.
