Jurgen Klopp’s side remains unbeaten in the league after the start of 2022 following their 1-0 triumph over Eddie How’s Newcastle side.
However, without his first-pumping celebration in front of the Reds fans, the German coach planted an indirect message to the Mancunians after the game.
Klopp, on the other hand, gave their league rivals Man City cause for concern with a beautiful performance that said volumes about their title fight.
Klopp made significant changes in his side before the build-up of the game which saw his talisman Salah, as well as Thiago, Alexander-Arnold, and Fabinho out of the starting XI.
Naby Keita broke the deadlock within the 19th minute of the clash via a perfectly weighted pass to the African international which was enough for the Reds to secure three points.
It seemed like Klopp wanted to make tweaks to his lineup mainly because of their hectic fixture list and to keep the palpable quadruple fight on.
The Merseyside continued to perform with the same intensity despite having 4 first-teamers sitting in the team’s dugout, which was evidenced clearly in their past games.
Man City, on the other hand, responded to Liverpool’s pressure by smashing Leeds by 4-0 on the road to Yorkshire and grabbing hold of their position at the top of the points table.
The two world-class managers have set the bar high since after their arrival in the English top division by making the Premier League a blockbuster.
Manchester City and Liverpool have throttle hard in the league for months and it is crystal clear that the team that whichever team drops a point in the run, will be attaining 2nd spot.
