Liverpool not in race with Manchester City: Klopp
London, Oct 21 (IANS) Liverpool FC chief coach Jurgen Klopp reckoned his side are not in race with English Premier League (EPL) table toppers Manchester City in the ongoing season.
The Pep Guardiola-managed side have accumulated 22 points from eight matches, while Liverpool have only earned 13 from similar number of matches in the EPL.
“We are still in the race, not with City in the moment because they have I don’t how many points, and I don’t say already that we should only fight for a top-four place. Performance-wise we are a team that should be there but now we have to get the results, Klopp who won the Bundesliga title twice with Borussia Dortmund was quoted saying by the Guardian on Friday.
Klopp, who is at the helm of Liverpool since 2015, believes this EPL season will be difficult for his side, keeping in mind the number points they have failed to earn.
“We can make steps. From a very good season last year, we can make steps this year. Position-wise I think it should be possible but it is difficult with the few points we have given away. It is a long season,” the 50-year-old said.
“If we can bring in consistency and be more ruthless, be more clinical in situations because of confidence and all that stuff, then we can win games. I would say a lot of games,” Klopp added.

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
