Liverpool star: Defeat to Manchester United may have ended our Champions League hopes

JORDAN HENDERSON admits he doesn't know if Liverpool are capable of finishing in the top four this season.

The Reds suffered a disappointing 1-0 defeat to rivals Manchester United on Sunday as Wayne Rooney scored a late winner at Anfield.

Jurgen Klopp's side sit 13 points behind league leaders Arsenal and seven adrift of Tottenham in fourth place.

Liverpool failed to take their chances against United and Henderson believes his side must be more clinical in front of goal if his team are to keep pace with the top four.

"I am not sure if the top four has gone. At the moment we are not in it, but we have to keep on fighting," he said.

"We are getting chances, we are creating chances but we just couldn't finish them off against United for whatever reason.

"So we just have to keep going. Sometimes football is like that, sometimes you play well and get beat.

 

"Football teams will always look to strengthen, always look to improve, but us as players, we just have to give everything for now. All we can do now is keep going until the end of the season.

"We have to keep going right until the very end and see what happens, whether you are in the mix or you are not. I really believe we have a good squad of players but [games] like today we need to be winning."
