Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp remains unfazed by the looming threat of Manchester City despite Liverpool’s championship challenge suffering a significant setback with a 3-1 defeat to Arsenal.Alisson’s howler sends Arsenal straight back into the title race as Gunners top RedsThe loss saw Liverpool’s Premier League lead cut to two points, with City still five points behind but now with two games in hand. However, Klopp emphasized that he’s not nervous about City’s position. “If you want to find a specialist who becomes the champion of England, then I’m probably not the right person to ask as most of the time we have finished second, I’m sorry to say that. At the final whistle, I didn’t think a second about the number of Manchester City games and who they would play. Not for a second. We have to play to our potential and deal with difficulties in and around the games. And play our soul on the pitch, if you want, and we see where it ends up. There’s no guarantee.”##NAJAVA_MECA_7851452##Reporters wanted to squeeze something out of Klopp so they asked him whether he was becoming nervous after seeing three points go down the drain at the Emirates. The German expressed disappointment with Liverpool’s performance against Arsenal but maintained that nothing has changed in their approach despite City’s games in hand.”I haven’t become nervous because of two games in hand for City. We always expect City to win all their games, to be 100% honest. We don’t even have to watch them. That’s all fine. For us, nothing really has changed. That’s actually the idea. We didn’t want to stop the run here, but we haven’t lost a lot of games recently. That means dealing with defeats is a challenge.””Everything went against us!” 😤Jurgen Klopp wasn’t happy with refereeing decisions during Liverpool’s 3-1 loss to Arsenal… pic.twitter.com/JcDjKY9jna— betsureuganda (@betsureuganda) February 5, 2024 Although the Reds are falling back in the chase, the race itself is far from over.”Today nobody celebrates the champion and nobody is relegated, so we have all the chance to create our own destiny.
