“I think our target is another 250 again and more trophies with Liverpool.
“I think it’s just unbelievable. It’s not easy to play in England and score this [amount] of goals. It’s just incredible because there are so many good teams and strong defenders, so it’s not easy.
“We always try to work harder and harder to get better and better to do the best for the team.
“Playing alongside these two, even me and you, I think we can both play alongside these two great players.
“So you just need to be fit and then you play alongside them because they make everything easier for me and you!”

Jurgen Klopp has been encouraged to have a word on behalf of Virgil van Dijk after his display against Brighton.
Garth Crooks picked the Reds defender in his BBC Sport’s team of the week for his performance on Wednesday and in particular keeping quiet the Seagull’s promising young forward Aaron Connolly.
He said: “There were two moments when Van Dijk showed his class and both were against Aaron Connolly.
“The Republic of Ireland striker came on and understandably tried to impose himself on the game.
“Van Dijk either dispossessed him, outran him or outplayed him.
“I hope Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp had a quiet word with the Irishman after the game and told him not to worry – Van Dijk does that to everyone.”
Liverpool’s formidable front three have now netted 250 goals between them and Sadio Mane as said that the trio are still hungry for even more.
Speaking to Liverpool FC’s official website he said:

Gary Neville has issued a warning that Manchester United’s front three could soon overtake Liverpool’s attacking trio.
The former United favourite claimed on the Gary Neville Podcast as cited by Mirror Online that Mo Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane are the best in the Premier League but the new forward line up at Old Trafford could soon be clipping at their heels.
He said: “Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane are matured, they are established, they are the real deal – the best front three in the Premier League. I was saying that even when Manchester City were winning the league.
“The three that United have got are not at the level of Liverpool’s front three yet, you wouldn’t expect them to be, but they have the talent and ability.
“There were questions whether Rashford was good enough, whether Martial was good enough and Greenwood hadn’t obviously emerged back then, but they are proving they are good enough, that they can play and that they will get better.
“The Liverpool front three are ahead, but it is exciting for Manchester United. If you believe in young players and give them opportunities in the positions they want to play in, you will be amazed what you can achieve.”
The skipper has a message after it has been revealed he has been ruled out for the remainder of the season.
We are switching over to our Jurgen Klopp press conference live blog.
Join us there for the latest from the Reds boss.
Who do you think will take Liverpool’s crown?
I know this is painful to see but here’s what might have been for Liverpool.
Liverpool goalkeeper Ben Winterbottom has committed his future to the club.
The Reds youngster has penned his first professional contract.
An early birthday present for the teenager who turns 19 next week!
Former Aston Villa striker Gabriel Agbonlahor has said Liverpool should re-sign Philippe Coutinho on one condition.
Speaking on Stadium Astro, cited here, Agbonlahor said: “For me, I’d go out there and get Coutinho back.
“I’d probably say, ‘you have to apologise for the way you left, but come back’.”
“For me, he is what Liverpool are missing in there. You can even play Coutinho where [Roberto] Firmino plays if Firmino isn’t doing it. The way Firmino plays, it looks like he is just told by [Sadio] Mane and [Mohamed] Salah: ‘We are having the shots’.”
Erm… If Agbonlahor can’t see Firmino for the selfless, skilful, hard working, samba magic forward that he is, then I don’t even know what to say to that.
As for the Coutinho stuff. I would take him back if the price was right.
Still got some love for the little magician and I am okay with admitting that. This feels like a safe space.
Think we also have to remember he gave Liverpool the biggest gift of all – enabling them to sign game changer Virgil van Dijk and the rock solid Alisson Becker.
Liverpool have submitted planning application for a state-of-the-art fence at their new £50m training complex in Kirkby.
A decision will be made on when to leave Melwood at the end of the current season.
Our Liverpool correspondent brings you the full details.
My captain.
Who is excited about seeing the new Nike kits?
We are as well!
Here’s the latest on a potential kit release date brought to you by Mark Wakefield.
There have been reports suggesting Jordan Henderson is set to miss Liverpool’s last four games.
This, if true, is a big worry for the Reds going into next season if this problem is to keep him out for a lengthy amount of time.
Here’s the full story, but it is also worth remembering we will be receiving an update from Jurgen Klopp in his press conference this afternoon.
Let’s hope for some good news.
The future of Lille striker Victor Osimhen has been one of the ongoing transfer rumours of this long old summer.
The 20-year-old Nigerian scored 13 goals in Ligue 1 to help Les Dogues secure Europa League qualification as he stepped up to fill the void left by Nicolas Pepe’s departure for Arsenal.
A number of top teams across the continent have been linked with a move for him including Liverpool and also Napoli, and it is from Italy that the latest twist in the tale has emerged.
AreaNapoli say that Everton are in the race to sign the forward, with Football Italia suggesting Osimhen prefers a move to a Premier League team, adding if an offer comes from England he wouldn’t hesitate rejecting a move to Naples.
With the news today that Premier League clubs including Everton and Liverpool have delayed a decision regarding when the summer transfer window should close, it seems the rumour mill won’t stop swirling any time soon.
Some very poor decisions were made across the Premier League last night.
Big improvements are needed.
Here’s an idea… Why don’t referees start going over to the screen provided to them and giving it another look over?
Danny Ings is absolutely smashing it!
Another goal last night against Everton means he is completely flying.
I think we always knew he had this potential when he signed from Burnley, and he showed glimpses in a Liverpool shirt, but injuries harshly got in the way during his time at Anfield.
If Mohamed Salah doesn’t win the Golden Boot I, like many of you, would love to see this man get his hands on it.
The weekend is finally upon us! I don’t know about you but that week felt like a long one.
Anyway I have loads of updates to bring you, transfer gossip and the like..
So buckle up, get the kettle on, do what you got to do.
But do stick with me I am your numero uno source for the latest and breaking Liverpool news.
Will be back shortly, in the mean time… Enjoy!
