Liverpool legend insists squad that lost one league game last season must improve

Liverpool were crowned as Champions League winners after beating Tottenham 2-0. The Reds could have become Premier League champions as well, however, they lost the chance as they were just one point behind league champions Manchester City. Although the Reds lost one Premier League match last season, Patrik Berger is convinced Liverpool must improve in the upcoming season if they want to win the title. “I said at the time that the only thing Liverpool could do was win every single game until the end of the season and hope that Manchester City dropped points. They didn’t, but the boys couldn’t have done more. It just wasn’t enough at the end," Berger told. “It was a magnificent season. They played some brilliant football, they were unbeaten at Anfield in the league and they should be very proud of the way they played. “What Manchester City have done is unbelievable. You can only put your hands up and say they were too good for the last two seasons. But Liverpool have taken a huge step closer to Manchester City and in any other season they would have been crowned champions. “At least they know they are at the same level and know they can ­challenge for the Premier League next season. But remember that two years ago Chelsea were the champions and you thought that they would be right up there for the foreseeable future. That didn’t happen. “And I think that shows Liverpool and even Manchester City must keep on ­improving their squad and keep the same quality and hunger in order to be up there again next season.” via Mirror
