Jurgen Klopp searches for solutions before Liverpool take on Manchester United

Wasted chances in front of goal have proved to be the champions' undoing

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has spent the week working to improve his players' confidence in front of goal as they head into a must-win fixture against arch-rivals Manchester United.

The Reds have scored just twice from 36 chances created in their last two matches, which have been defined by late equalisers costing them four points and putting their Champions League qualification hopes in jeopardy.

It took a couple of days for Klopp's anger to subside after conceding with virtually the last kick of the game against Newcastle, but he quickly switched into analysis mode as he sought to show the players where they could improve.

The German has yet to win at Old Trafford - Liverpool's last victory there was in March 2014 - but knows victory on Sunday is vital if they are to maintain their outside hopes of a top-four finish.

But they will only succeed if they cure their wastefulness in front of goal and to that end Klopp has been providing them with plenty of analysis in an attempt to rectify a problem which has dogged them for most of the season, particularly at home.

"Last week (against Leeds and Newcastle) we had 36 chances and scored twice, that is obviously not a number you want," he said.

"There are two things: we don't score often enough but we create a decent number and that's what we have to keep doing.

"We tried to help the boys, we showed them situations like this. Not shouting at them 'How can you not score in this situation?', just giving them different options in the moment, helping them with the right information.

"After the (Newcastle) game I was not in a good mood - no-one should have been. The next day it was slightly better but not much.

"Two days later I was completely fine and I watched five or six games of us in two days to try to understand things better.

"You just have to bring yourself again in these decisive situations and when you are there you try to make the right decision and that is what we are working on with a lot of things in training and talks as well, some video sessions.

"It was a busy week but no problem as I have nothing else to do, so we try to use the time."

United head into the game on the back of a 6-2 Europa League semi-final first leg demolition of Roma and Klopp acknowledges that does not bode well for his side.

"Is it the best place to go after conceding a late goal against Newcastle? I don't know," he added.

"Is it the best place to go after watching them score five goals in one half last night? I don't know.

"We will see, for sure it is a game when you are a Liverpool player or a manager it is the game where you have to give everything anyway.

"They looked pretty good (against Roma) and we are ready for that. I have no worries, to be honest.

"We trained intensely, we tried to stimulate intensity which means we will have the right legs to go in and then we will see what we make of it."

Klopp has set his side the target of winning their remaining five matches, but even that may not be sufficient to get them where they want to be.

"No, five wins will not be enough, for sure not, it depends on how the other teams play obviously. But without five wins we don't have a chance," he said.

"So as long as we are not 15 points behind with only three or four games to go, why should we write it off?

"We think we can still go to the Champions League but we will need results in other games (to go for us). We know that.

"But without winning our own games we will go nowhere, so we are not that naive."

Tearful appearance

Chancellor Rachel Reeves set markets on edge as she appeared visibly distraught in parliament on Wednesday. 

Legislative setbacks for the government have blown a new hole in the budgetary calculations at a time when the deficit is stubbornly large and the economy is struggling to grow. 

She appeared with Keir Starmer on Thursday and the pair embraced, but he had failed to give her his backing as she cried a day earlier.

A spokesman said her upset demeanour was due to a personal matter.

What is blockchain?

Blockchain is a form of distributed ledger technology, a digital system in which data is recorded across multiple places at the same time. Unlike traditional databases, DLTs have no central administrator or centralised data storage. They are transparent because the data is visible and, because they are automatically replicated and impossible to be tampered with, they are secure.

The main difference between blockchain and other forms of DLT is the way data is stored as ‘blocks’ – new transactions are added to the existing ‘chain’ of past transactions, hence the name ‘blockchain’. It is impossible to delete or modify information on the chain due to the replication of blocks across various locations.

Blockchain is mostly associated with cryptocurrency Bitcoin. Due to the inability to tamper with transactions, advocates say this makes the currency more secure and safer than traditional systems. It is maintained by a network of people referred to as ‘miners’, who receive rewards for solving complex mathematical equations that enable transactions to go through.

However, one of the major problems that has come to light has been the presence of illicit material buried in the Bitcoin blockchain, linking it to the dark web.

Other blockchain platforms can offer things like smart contracts, which are automatically implemented when specific conditions from all interested parties are reached, cutting the time involved and the risk of mistakes. Another use could be storing medical records, as patients can be confident their information cannot be changed. The technology can also be used in supply chains, voting and has the potential to used for storing property records.
