Joe Gomez insists Liverpool have much room for improvement

Liverpool defender Joe Gomez insists the new Premier League champions have much room for improvement.

Liverpool have coasted towards this season's Premier League title and are on course to break Manchester City's record of 100 points in one campaign, winning 30 of their 34 matches so far.

When responding to what Liverpool must do next to continue their success, Gomez told Premier League Productions: "I think consistency and striving year in, year out. Obviously, City have done it a fair few times now and they've set the bar for what it's like.

"Maybe five years ago, with some of the points tallies, if you knew they had been achieved, you would say there's no chance. I don't know if it's possible to carry on losing one or two games a season, but I think consistency is what we are striving for.

"I just feel that the bar has been set so high that, maybe, it's difficult to carry on emulating that level of consistency, where it's 100-point seasons every year.

"As a group, we are trying to maintain that consistency whereby we can continue getting results [and] I think that's what is so good about this year - that regardless of whether we got the result, sometimes our performance might have lacked a few things or not been quite the way we wanted it to be, but we still got there in the end.

"I think continuing to keep that level of desire to win and finding a way to win, while maintaining high levels of performance week in, week out is obviously what we can strive for now.

"We are far from the finished article and we've got a young, hungry squad that hopefully can keep on learning."
