Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp has come out to admit that Liverpool’s title defence is over. He recently revealed that he doesn’t think the Reds can close the gap on City again this season.
According to him, Liverpool have shown that they are currently not good enough to win certain games they used to win easily in the EPL, and this has kept reflecting in the results.
He added that the club has to face their current reality and focus on the tough matches to come in future weeks.
His words, “Yes.”
“I don’t think we can close the gap this year, to be honest. We have to win football games, and a large part of our game today was very good.”
“What we need to try to avoid are mistakes and misunderstandings. In two situations today we didn’t do that and that’s how they were allowed to score two goals.”
“Results are massively related to the performance – we were good enough today to win the game apart from a couple of mistakes towards the end.”
“Before the game, we all knew that Ozan [Kabak] is a really good player and we know that afterwards as well but he’s not used to all the things we do. Ali [Alisson] is offensive and likes to come out of his goal.”
“When you are new together this usually happens but it happens in pre-season. Unfortunately, we’ve not had that. We’re not worrying about the title, we’re not silly.”
“We have a tough game on Tuesday and then the derby next week. That’s what we’re thinking about.”
