Ragnar Klavan promises Liverpool won’t cave in European race

Ragnar Klavan vows a perceived vulnerability at set-pieces won’t cost Liverpool a Champions League place and claims Jurgen Klopp’s side has the team spirit to overcome minor blips such as Wednesday’s draw with Bournemouth.

A fallibility at corners, free-kicks, and long throws is an issue which predates Klopp’s time at the club, and it was in evidence again when Bournemouth snatched a late equaliser at Anfield to deny the Reds the chance to maintain an eight-point cushion over fifth-placed Arsenal.

Liverpool have conceded set-piece goals in their last two home matches and that record extends way back into the early part of the season.
