A final-day win over Middlesbrough wrapped up fourth spot, much to the joy and relief of a manager who feels the club have got what they 'deserve'                                              Jurgen Klopp acknowledged Liverpool "need to be in the Champions League" after Sunday's 3-0 win over Middlesbrough sealed a top-four Premier League finish.

The Reds endured a nervy 45 minutes at Anfield, during which Arsenal took the lead over Everton to drop the Merseysiders down to fifth, before Georginio Wijnaldum broke the deadlock in first-half stoppage time.

A stunning Philippe Coutinho free-kick and Adam Lallana's close-range finish afforded the hosts breathing space, leaving Klopp delighted. Liverpool have some top-class players and you wait for moments like that Patrick Bamford penalty shout and that did not go our way," said Agnew.

"It has been a difficult season and the bottom line is that we have not scored enough goals or won enough games. We need to use this summer to reflect and work out what we need to do to come back.
