One game at a time
Liverpool got a boost in the title race when Manchester City drew Crystal Palace on Monday evening. While it got the LFC supporters buzzing about the title race being on, Jurgen Klopp said that his squad isn’t focused on the big picture, just treating every game as a final.
“Whey should it [change the mood]?” Klopp said. “It would if it was in our mind, but we play Arsenal and we are still four points behind. You can’t count before and now think it’s only one point.”
Klopp had nothing but good things to say about Wednesday’s opponent and the form they are in.
“It’s a tough one tomorrow night, but I’m still looking forward to it,” Klopp said. “Arsenal have a clear idea how they want to play football. Possession-based, young, full of talent, full of joy. …. it’s final, after final, after final, that we play.”
