Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp aimed a cheeky joke at Pep Guardiola and Manchester City after his side’s nervy 1-0 win against Sheffield United earlier today.
Jurgen Klopp certainly knows how to defend his team after a difficult game against Sheffield United, the German didn’t believe that the Reds had an ‘off-day’ and deflected pressure by suggesting that he’d rather.
The recently hailed Manager of the Year seemed to reiterate that the pressure should be on Pep Guardiola and Manchester City.
Watch what Klopp had to say below:

“Eight times 1-0 is more important than one times 8-0 but if you give me a guarantee for it, I take the next eight games."

Here’s the transcript of what was said:
“Eight times 1-0 is more important than one times 8-0 but if you give me a guarantee for it, I take the next eight games,”
“We are very critical for ourselves. I said before, is it allowed that Sheffield United fight more than us? No it isn’t. Is it allowed they run more? No. We can play better. I don’t think we had an off-day.”
Gini Wijnaldum scored the decisive goal for the Merseyside outfit this afternoon after a costly error from Manchester United stopper Dean Henderson.
With City coming through their test with Everton fine, the Reds have a five-point lead over the Manchester outfit.
Is it finally Liverpool’s year to lift the Premier League?
