Liverpool's Emre Can rues chances missed in front of goal

Liverpool midfielder Emre Can rues chances missed in front of goal, as well as defensive errors this season.

Liverpool midfielder Emre Can has bemoaned the chances missed in front of goal, as well as defensive errors this season.

Jurgen Klopp's team have conceded the third-highest number of Premier League goals this campaign - 12 - with only West Ham United and Crystal Palace shipping more.

"I've read a stat which shows that we had 120 shots in the past seven matches, and we only scored seven goals. That's clearly not enough," Can told reporters.

"It's definitely a fact that we have recently defended badly and conceded too many goals. But I still believe that when we scored goals, we won the games. Then nobody was speaking about the defence.

"The coach himself says we didn't play badly. We almost dominated the opponents in all games and were the better team. Jurgen Klopp is convinced that only the necessary luck is missing to return to winning.

"At Liverpool, however, nobody questions the coach Jurgen Klopp is a top-top trainer. As a team, we all want to work with him. Everyone can see the steps we've made with him in the past two years. We play good football, follow his plan."

Liverpool sit seventh in the Premier League, seven points behind Manchester United, whom they play on Saturday.
