Klopp disagrees with Guardiola that the whole country is supporting Liverpool in title race

Jurgen Klopp has laughed off Pep Guardiola’s comments that the whole country is supporting Liverpool in the Premier League title race.

Manchester City are now four points clear at the top of the Premier League after they beat Newcastle 5-0 a day after Liverpool dropped points against Tottenham.

The two best managers in the world are sh*tposting and that is a wonderful thing

Speaking after his side’s 5-0 win against the Magpies, Guardiola bizarrely claimed that “everyone in this country supports Liverpool”.

The Reds are looking to put the pressure back on City when they travel to Aston Villa on Tuesday and Klopp was asked about Guardiola’s comments in his pre-match press conference.

“(Laughs) Here a lot of people want us to win the league but even here it is only 50 per cent,” Klopp said (via the Liverpool Echo). “As managers, after a game we’re obviously massively influenced by games/situations. What I said after Spurs… I wouldn’t. [That was] Just my feeling at the moment

Is Pep Guardiola feeling the pressure?

“I don’t know how Pep after getting knocked out of Champions League and of course Liverpool made it to the final, we played Villarreal, they played Real Madrid. I have no idea if the whole country is supporting us. Maybe he knows more than me.

“What I said after the Spurs game – I wouldn’t [say it now]. That was just my feeling at the moment. After City were knocked out by Madrid, that was obviously difficult to take.”
