Jurgen Klopp labelled the external reaction to Liverpool’s mini slump “predictable” as he called on\u00a0his players to show aggression in fighting back to form.<\/p>\n

Successive 1-1 draws against Leicester City and West Ham allowed Manchester City to regain top spot in the Premier League with a 2-0 win at Everton in midweek.<\/p>\n

Liverpool have\u00a0a game in hand on Pep Guardiola’s side but dropping points against mid-table teams in consecutive matches has prompted questions over whether they\u00a0can hold their nerve during the\u00a0home stretch.<\/p>\n

The Reds entertain Bournemouth on Saturday – 24 hours before City’s home clash with Chelsea – and Klopp admitted\u00a0it was incumbent upon his players to demonstrate resolve.<\/p>\n

“It’s normal,” Klopp said of the response to the West Ham result. “It was kind of predictable,\u00a0and if you want to be top of the table and a champion at the end of the season\u00a0you have to show in situations like that –\u00a0and there are worse situations –\u00a0real passion, real desire, you have to fight.<\/p>\n

“You cannot go around it, you have to go through.<\/p>\n

“I got a message this week, another sign that people think I need help.\u00a0I don’t need help, thank you very much, I’m fine!<\/p>\n

“In the last [11]\u00a0games, City dropped 12 points and we dropped seven. I didn’t know that. Is it interesting for me? Not really, but the view from outside is completely different.<\/p>\n

“Then it was something that City lost to three teams outside the top six, we drew twice.<\/p>\n

“That’s the world outside, and we live in that world. I know that people are confronted with things like this, the players are too.<\/p>\n

“The only tool we really have to sort [in] our situation is football, passion, a proper fight, being aggressive in the most legal way. Be hard, put your foot in.”<\/p>\n

Liverpool will use the\u00a010-day gap between the Bournemouth match and the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie against Bayern Munich to attend a warm-weather training camp in Spain.<\/p>\n

Klopp denied the trip abroad was designed to escape media attention.<\/p>\n

“We will go away for a couple of days\u00a0so we can really focus on training,” he said.\u00a0“We don’t have to drive between sessions, things like that. A little change of scenery again.<\/p>\n

“It always worked out pretty well for me as a manager when I had the opportunity to do it, to be 100 per cent focused, have a couple of meetings. We’d have done it if we were 10 points up.<\/p>\n

“We do it because we have time, and we can do it because we play the Champions League game a week later.”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
