What Liverpool should do next in the battle of Man City is clear as Jurgen Klopp proved right It does not matter the quality, feel the points. At the start of a crucial fortnight, Liverpool did whatever it took to ensure Kopp returned home happy and Manchester City, at least for a while, were overshadowed. “Liverpool, Liverpool top of the league!” This was followed by the song, followed by well-known executives of “We will not move”, and of course, of this season’s favorite, “The Reds have no money”.
