(Reuters) - Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp hopes to instil defensive discipline in his side ahead of the upcoming Premier League season, saying his side must stop conceding sloppy goals with collective work at the back. Klopp's attacking approach produced 78 goals for Liverpool in the league last season but they conceded 42 times, more than four of their top six rivals. Klopp was also disappointed with the team's set-piece defending and has urged his players to turn things around during their pre-season preparations. It was second balls after set-pieces, after throw-ins and things like this," the 50-year-old German manager said. Liverpool begin their league campaign with a trip to Watford on Aug. 12.
