Liverpool are as good as Manchester City, says Jurgen Klopp

Jurgen Klopp says Liverpool are every bit as good as Manchester City despite their 2-1 defeat at the hands of the current champions.

The German will be kicking himself after failing to grab the chance to guide his side 10 points clear of Manchester City as they slipped to defeat at the Etihad Stadium on Thursday.

Yet, with their four-point lead intact and confidence still high among Liverpool fans, Jurgen Klopp believes that his side is every bit as good as Pep Guardiola’s.

“From my point of view we were never on a level with Manchester City since I was in,” said Klopp, ahead of Liverpool’s FA Cup third-round clash with Wolves on Monday night.

“We won games against them since Pep was in especially but in these games City were better.

“We scored more goals and we defended really well but the possession was probably at least 60/40 for them but we won them. Now it’s 50/50.”
