Jurgen Klopp believes Liverpool have a duty to entertain on his mission to end the club’s six-year trophy drought.

The Reds have re-written the record books with their goal scoring blitz so far this season. They have netted 103 times in 40 matches - their most prolific campaign since 1895/96.

Liverpool are on course to achieve back-to-back top-four finishes in the Premier League for the first time in nearly a decade as they prepare for Saturday’s visit of Newcastle. However, Klopp wants silverware to go with the accolades and insists his side’s swashbuckling style is the right way to deliver it.

“We are here to win trophies and performance has a big influence on that,” he said.

“We are not a club who won a last trophy two or three years ago and now everybody thinks ‘okay, that’s the way they play’.

“If we were to park the bus constantly in home games people would whistle us out of the stadium because they think that’s not what we want to watch, and we don’t win anything.

“So we have to come from the other side, we have to dominate football games. To play, to do, to be kind of exciting. That’s the only way for us.

“I am happy Man City are doing so well because they are doing it on one level higher. It’s not that it is some team that come through games somehow with the help of the post, the crossbar or something like that, winning 1-0. They will win the title.

“This is one way to be successful. And with our young history I don’t think there is any other way than to convince the people with football.”

The Champions League represents Liverpool’s remaining hope of glory this term with the 5-0 thrashing of Porto putting them on the brink of the quarter-finals.

Progress is crystal clear and Klopp’s Reds are performing with a swagger but he knows that teams are remembered for the trophies they win.

“There will always be people who say ‘yes but’,” Klopp added.

“It’s true to say that we didn’t win anything in the two and a half years here so far but we played two finals and that’s not too bad. It’s only bad because in the 20 years before it was better. That’s not my problem.

“What people will say about us? We won’t really know until they look back. Why should I think about that? I cannot influence it.

“We are in a good moment, it’s not a perfect moment but a good moment. So let’s carry on - hard work, win football games and then we’ll see.”
