Jurgen Klopp reveals reaction to Man City’s 8-0 mauling of Watford with Liverpool boss joking: ‘I slept pretty well’

Liverpool beat Chelsea 2-1 at Stamford Bridge on Sunday – their 15th league win in a row – to restore their five-point gap at the top of the Premier League.

It came 24 hours after reigning champions City posted a club-record 8-0 victory against the Hornets and this fascinating battle between the two teams continues.

Klopp, who watched City’s highlights after training on Saturday, says Liverpool have the early advantage because they have more points.

Asked what he thought of City’s win, the German replied: “I wanted to see the goals. I saw a 2:50 summary when we left the training pitch. I saw eight goals and three times the woodwork.

“I have to watch fully to really understand it. If it can happen against anyone it can happen against City. It happened to us a few years ago when we lost 5-0.

“If you have 10 men the worst place in the world is Manchester City but [Saturday night] I slept pretty well.

“This type of football not a lot of teams can play, but we play in our way, we try to win football games. In the end, we need to get the points, there is no competition in technical things, it is about the points.

“I still don’t see that it is only two teams. At the moment we don’t have to think about it. It’s matchday six, we are talking about the title with 32 games to go, I think that it is a bit early.”

Klopp was pleased to see his side emerge victorious against Chelsea in what was a tough encounter, but says Liverpool’s decision-making needs to improve.

He said: “Poor decision-making, our passes in decisive moments, next week we’ll talk about something else probably.

“But winning a ball is good, but if you win the ball, you have to make the right decision in space.

“They do that very often, really good, but Chelsea is a proper, proper football team, so it was hard, it was a really hard shift today.

“The boys did it and I’m really pleased about that.”
