Jurgen Klopp names critics ‘idiots’ after Liverpool win over Chelsea

Goals from Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah ensured a 2-0 win for Liverpool over Chelsea at Anfield and now the Reds have reurned to the top of the Premier League table ahead of Manchester City. Jurgen Klopp, who was in bullish mood after the win didn’t miss a chance to name the critics ’idiots’ and insisted that they will do everything in their power to win their final four games. Speaking after the win over Chelsea, Klopp said: “The biggest challenge for us is always facing the world outside, you and other people. We don’t think like that. We play our game. If City lose today, and we find out five minutes before the game, somebody tells us ‘City lost!’ but that’s not a help. You lose your focus then. “We only try to collect as many points as possible. What is it now, 85? Four games to play. 97. Let’s try. And if that’s enough, then perfect. If not, we cannot change it. And we didn’t lose it here or there or whatever. Very smart people will come out and say ‘yeah, if you would have won against Leicester you would be champions’. It’s all bull****. People and idiots bring something like this up.” Should Pep Guardiola’s men win all of their remaining fixtures the title will be there’s but with games against Manchester United and Spurs to come, it will be far from straightforward. Liverpool certainly have the easier run-in of the two sides.
