Klopp a fan of Leicester’s near-perfect style

That stat is worrying news for Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool, who are 14 points adrift of Leicester and five shy of a Champions League berth.

The 35-year old ended his 17-year association with the club earlier this summer and moved stateside at the expiration of his contract.

“You have too many games, that’s for sure”, Klopp told Football Focus.

Neil Mellor has warned Liverpool that they must be clinical against Leicester City if the Reds want to beat the Premier League leaders.

Christian Benteke was on the mark for the home side, as he scored his first goal in eight premier league games with a typical striker’s finish. Maybe a player will leave us, or there are more injuries.

The gesture sparked derision on social media, particularly from supporters of Liverpool s local rivals Everton, but Klopp said it was part of a strategy aimed at enhancing the connection between players and fans. That’s not an excuse, I’m just describing the situation.

“There are big prices in the market so I am not the biggest friend of the January transfer window but if we have to react to it we will react to it”.

Despite the lack of goals in the first half, it was a very entertaining affair with Liverpool putting real pressure on Leicester but who in turn looked risky on the break.

“But I firmly believe we will get chances against them.

That’s not too good for us too – it’s a long list”. You have to use the information we got from it and ignore the rest.

He will be without defender Martin Skrtel (hamstring) and James Milner (calf) for the clash with Leicester, although goalkeeper Simon Mignolet and defender Dejan Lovren are back.

“I think you can see we have a big squad, with some quality players. I want to defend a 1-0, not strike back after 0-1”.

“They (Leicester) will not just sit back and wait for a mistake”, Benteke said.
