Georginio Wijnaldum discusses Liverpool’s title hopes after Everton draw

Georginio Wijnaldum says he’s unsure if being behind Manchester City is an advantage or if the Blues can handle the pressure of leading the title race with nine games to go.

Liverpool handed the initiative to Pep Guardiola’s side on Sunday afternoon when they failed to beat Everton in the Merseyside Derby at Goodison Park.

With just nine games to go, the Reds are second in the table by one point and will need to pick up two points more than City before the end of the season to win the title.

The Dutchman told Sky Sports News: “It’s a difficult one to swallow because everyone wanted to be top of the table. But I don’t want to say that it’s a setback.

“It’s normal that we are disappointed but that’s the situation and we have to deal with it. We are going to train hard and make sure we win the rest of the games. We have to perform and try to win every game because City will do the same.

“I don’t know (whether we prefer to chase them). We have to see if it suits us better. It’s always difficult to say. I think they are used to the pressure. For us it’s new. We just have to make sure that in the last nine games we give our all, and we’ll see what happens.”
