Klopp says his side were a ‘results machine’ last season and keeping hold of star players is as valuable as new signings
Jürgen Klopp did not spell it out in quite these terms but over the past four seasons Manchester City’s Premier League finishes have been fourth, third, first and first. This coincides with his tenure at Liverpool. Since he arrived in October 2015, Liverpool have finished eighth, fourth, fourth and second. It is why Klopp said of City: “They are clear favourites. How could we be favourites?”
City’s points tally over those four seasons reads: 66, 78, 100, 98. Liverpool’s is: 60, 76, 75, 97.
