Liverpool staying positive despite blip, says Klopp

LONDON: Jurgen Klopp has vowed that Liverpool will remain positive as they battle for the Premier League title despite a wobble that has enabled Manchester City to seize the initiative.

Liverpool’s destiny is no longer in their own hands after a goalless draw in Sunday’s Merseyside derby allowed Pep Guardiola’s City to regain top spot with a one-point advantage. However, with nine matches left to play, Klopp insists his side are not willing to give up hopes of a successful finale to the campaign.

“We are positive — how couldn’t we be positive?” he told liverpoolfc.com.“There is a lot to come and a lot of games to play. What brought us here was the stability the boys showed. We are difficult to beat, which is very important in football.”
