5 long-standing problems Jurgen Klopp has solved at Liverpool this season

#1 Struggles against bottom teams

Liverpool have improved against their biggest nemesis - teams from the bottom half

Liverpool's struggles against teams in the bottom half of the table are well-documented. Opposition teams who sit deep and soak in the pressure are one part of the problem as the Reds can no longer get behind their defence like they are accustomed to. The other part of the problem has always been the inability to turn up for such games. Many a time, a Liverpool team got beat by teams in the other half of the table, as the players do not have the same hunger they do whilst playing the top teams.

This has proven to be a major hurdle in sustaining a title challenge over the course of the season, as title winners are expected to beat these teams comfortably. However, Klopp finally looks to have solved the problem.

Liverpool's record has definitely improved against teams from the bottom half

In fact, the Reds have enjoyed their best season against the bottom-half teams in the Premier League era. Klopp's repeated message from the previous seasons finally got to the players, as they stayed patient while they searched for the opening goal.

While the number of draws has to come down for them to have a genuine shot at the title, the changes show that they are sustainable and the team will only get better with more reinforcements coming in this summer. Thus, Klopp has pretty much erased a major problem this season and this bodes well for the immediate future.

Each of the above issues has played a major role in preventing the Reds from becoming a consistent and dominant force in England and Europe. Hence, Klopp deserves great credit for solving them one after the other and a major title push could be on the cards next season.
