Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp is worried about just one thing as his side continues to struggle in the Premier League this season.
The Reds who won the title last season have struggled in many games this season and also seen keys players out for months due to injury.
With Liverpool now 6th on the table, some key players still out, Klopp revealed he won’t be pushing his boys to better than other clubs but he will try to work out how the team can be better than themselves.
“It was never the case where we thought how can we overtake City. Or how can we become the finest team in English football again, whatever that means,” Klopp said.
“We just wanted to be the best version of ourselves. We have that chance again. If that is good enough, it is good enough. If another team is better, that’s how sport works.
“We cannot do more than be the best version of ourselves and that is what we will try again as a team.
“For that we need a little bit more luck, of course. Some slightly more luck with injuries and we can get closer to that.
“We all agree, and I’m sure Pep would say that, in a normal season for both teams we would not be 16 points away.
“But we are. That’s how it is. We accept it. This season it is not our concern how close we get to City. It is how far we can go up the table. That is enough work to do.”
