Klopp challenges under-performing Liverpool players to emulate Rashford

“Of course some players didn’t reach the level that they have reached for us consistently,” Jurgen Klopp said.

“One of the best examples is Marcus Rashford, the season he had last year and this year.

“I’m not sure he can even explain it. That’s how it goes. The time between these two extremes, you have to fight through it.”

Rashford has been revitalised under Erik ten Hag this season - scoring 18 goals in 31 matches in all competitions - following a dismal 2021/22 campaign.

Liverpool are struggling to hit top form this season and sit ninth in the Premier League table.
