After Liverpool's victory over Nottingham Forest in the English Premier League championship, Reds coach Jurgen Klopp asked a question during the press conference showing his assessment of the team's performance so far.
Klopp asked, "When was the last time? Two consecutive wins. Does anyone know?"
Answer: Last month, before the international break, Liverpool crushed Manchester United (7-0).
And Liverpool did it also in February, when they beat Newcastle United immediately after beating Everton.
It is certain that these successes jumped into the mind of Jurgen Klopp while he was searching for other results solutions, such as the loss by three clean goals against Brighton and Wolverhampton, in addition to the defeat against Bournemouth and against Manchester City 21 days ago.
The aim of the initial question was to determine whether anything had changed dramatically, from the point where Liverpool found themselves two goals down at home against Arsenal on April 9.
And whether anything in particular improved the luck that followed the draw, versus that comeback with two wins, which allowed Liverpool fans to look up rather than down the list.
Liverpool are now three points clear of fifth-placed Tottenham, but the goal difference is in favor of the Reds, who are unbeaten in their last four matches, with two successive wins after two draws. This represents a continuation of the team's performance during an inconsistent season.
And Klopp believes that "things have changed." "The way we defend is much better, ball-oriented and tight," he said.
I saw a lot of counterpressure today. This for us is very important. We are more clear in this part. There is a sense that that has changed."
"If you are solid, offensive and positive in your defence, you can build on that," Klopp added.
He added, "For me, this is the first time this season that we are here. Late, but I hope it is not too late."
If Tottenham are looking for a place in the Champions League, the same could easily be said for Liverpool, who are six points off the top four in the standings.
The Reds may have to win at least five games and possibly all seven remaining. But Manchester United, Newcastle and Tottenham face tough matches in the second leg, and they have not lost everything.
Klopp said it was "illogical", given what Liverpool went through in the season, to look forward to the remainder of the season through the outcome of an individual match.
However, it looks as if Liverpool are finally getting the upper hand.
"They know we weren't perfect, but they are really happy because we got three very important points," Klopp said of his players.
"I think things have changed, but we have to keep going for consistency."
