Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp keen to harness anger from Bournemouth defeat

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp wants his side to harness the anger from last weekend's defeat at Bournemouth when they host West Ham on Sunday.

The Reds let a 3-1 lead slip against the Cherries as they lost 4-3, and Klopp wants them to put the frustrations of that result to good use against the Hammers.

"Is there any influence on the next game? No idea," said Klopp, whose side have not lost at Anfield since May 1 and have dropped just two points in six matches at home this season.

"What we will be, more than maybe we were before Bournemouth, we will be angry again - angry about ourselves, that's important.

"In sports, always when you are at the highest level there are not a lot of things that can make the difference.

"Sometimes it's the quality, but not very often. Most of the time it's the attitude because the other team is really well prepared too.

"A few details make the difference. As I've said a lot of times, being aggressive means in my understanding, being ready to hurt yourself, not the other player.

"That's the kind of angry we need. To be angry doesn't mean they are responsible for what happened in the last few weeks but they want to have the points at Anfield, and that makes me angry already when I speak about it. That's all you need.

"At the highest level, have you ever seen a race where the winner was not this kind of angry in the last few yards?

"Maybe Usain Bolt can do it, he enjoys it after 80 metres probably, but most of the other sportsmen in life have to fight until the end and that's what we have to do each week."
