Liverpool may still have a chance of finishing in the top four, but both Jurgen Klopp and Jamie Carragher know that it's all about next season at this stage.
The Reds cruised to victory away from home on Monday with a 6-1 demolition of relegation-threatened Leeds, boosting their hopes of qualifying for the Champions League, as they're now seven points adrift of fourth-placed Newcastle. Before the game, however, club legend Carragher labelled Liverpool's away form in the Premier League - then only three wins from 15 games - "awful."
"I think for a while now it's felt like, for me, Liverpool have almost got to send a message of where they could be next season in terms of getting some results and moving up the table," Carragher told Sky Sports. "You find it difficult to think that they will get the points needed [to finish in the top four] between now and the end of the season."
