In his pre-Burnley press conference, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp was asked about his ‘attack the title’ one-liner from before the 2020/21 Premier League season kicked off.
The boss initially laughed as the journalist asked his question, but did offer a response.
Despite Liverpool’s dip in form of late, Klopp insists the Reds will still ‘attack’ the title and explained that a few bad games don’t usually define a season.
“[We need to be] close to perfection. There is no perfect season it is just dealing with the situation and the amount of games. All the teams had a dip here and there. Some sorted it. I understand the need to talk about it but we can’t change it in a minute,” he said, in response to the journalist’s question.
Take a look at Paul Gorst’s tweet below for the boss’ full quote on the Reds’ title challenge:

As ever, Klopp is spot on – Liverpool haven’t been playing well of late, but it’s not a disaster – to win a title you need to be relatively great over the course of an entire season.
That being said, hopefully the rough patch we’re currently enduring is over sooner rather than later!
