Klopp on Liverpool

"It changes all the time because it's so close. That makes it a different title race this year," said Klopp when asked if it heightens the importance of games against teams lower in the division.

"We have to be one-hundred per-cent ready, that's what we try to do. I know that in this business, only results count but you need performances before the result. The last performance was really good."

While keen to accentuate the positives from the scoreless draw against bitter rivals Manchester United last Sunday, the German knows his team's performance levels have dropped in recent weeks.

But Klopp feels that those outside the club are taking far too negative a view of what is actually going on.

"We know we are not exactly where we want to be and there are some reasons for it but they are not too important. We have to fight and that's what we do," he said.

"The perception from outside changes very quickly. People get unhappy with performances when results are not there. You can win the game with one lucky strike and people and journalists are really happy.

"We have to play football, we have to play our football and we constantly try to do it on the highest level and most of the time the boys do that. In the last few games, in the final third we haven't done that. There were situations, they could have been the best chance of the game but because of one decision, which we would have made earlier in the season or last season."
