JURGEN KLOPP has opened up on where Liverpool need to improve on going into tonight's clash at Stoke.
The Reds head to the Britannia Stadium, where they have won just three times in nine visits, for their League Cup semi-final first leg looking to rectify the two issues which are killing their consistency.
Just 22 goals in 20 league matches is the worst return in their history and coupled with a tendency to be dominated in the air it makes for a frustrating time for Klopp.
"We have an issue with crosses, before we had an issue with set-plays. It is always a ball in the air," he said.
"As long as the ball is on the ground most of the time we handle it. When the ball is in the air we have some problems with the goals we conceded. We know this, we have not solved this.
"We were really serious in analysing. Clear in our words. No excuses. We have to change for sure. Talking is easy, changing is more difficult but nevertheless we have to do it."
Both Liverpool and Stoke go into the League Cup clash on the back of disappointing defeats to West Ham and West Brom, respectively.
