"Yes, he is absolutely right. But some other clubs have ceilings." And you compete with them. "There are three clubs in world football who can do what they want financially. You have to compete with them. "We have to look at it (and say) 'We need that and we need that and we have to look here and make it younger, and here a prospect and here a talent'.

A total of 13 points separate the two teams and when Klopp was asked what Liverpool must do to keep pace with City, the manager didn't beat around the bush. “ ...

And what Super Clubs like Liverpool can spend is a huge problem. Great stories like Leicester winning the league are no longer possible. Do these arseholes not realise that the issue Klopp is raising is sports washing and financial doping ? While Uefa has failed to administer its own FFP outcomes repeatedly when it comes to state teams Without him working miracles City would’ve walked it every single season, as they most likely will do this time. They also had a limit. Not to mention the fact they’re flat out cheating the system on top of that. If it proves to be a mistake, it will absolutely screw them. Knew as soon as I saw Klopp’s quotes last night that the majority of fans on here would misconstrue them and use them to complain about his spending. That’s what you have to do.” “There are three clubs in world football who can do what they want financially. It’s not possible.

In this week's Blood Red, Ian Doyle ponders how Liverpool are now coming to terms with a shift in Premier League expectations.

And a City win wouldn't be quite the surprise it may have been just months ago. Sunday, then, is an ideal place to begin as they seek a first league win over City in almost three years. That said, even with a game in hand, the 13-point gap to City is an alarming chasm for Liverpool at this early stage. Having had his fingers burned by Liverpool on many occasions during his tenure, the City boss expects the Reds to return much stronger in the New Year. The record-breaking Champions League win at Rangers in midweek undoubtedly helped, so too the promise of a return to form for Mohamed Salah after his quickfire hat-trick. Getting through to then, though, is the issue at hand for Klopp, with injuries still gnawing away at his options. But they also realise that, with only eight games having been played and a whopping 24 to come after the World Cup, there is a long way to go and plenty of scope for improvement. As Klopp readily admits, it may not have much bearing on the Premier League title race, at least for Liverpool. However, there has been something of a shift in mood over the last week or so as fans have come to terms with the change in expectations this season, at least in the Premier League. With each stumble, so the sense of disillusionment has become clearer. With the nights drawing in and the game a late afternoon kick-off, it could feel similar to a night match, with Anfield always at its best under the floodlights. The fixture list could have been kinder - another contributory factor to their low points tally - but Liverpool need to start addressing their worst start to a Premier League season in a decade.

Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate has emerged as a fitness doubt ahead of Sunday's Premier League visit of Manchester City.

“It’s not that we now feel different or whatever. the result provided no real barometer going into one of the toughest games of the season. “We have to prepare the game in a different way of course but using the positive feeling we have now, but that alone will not give us anything against City. “Yes, they are in the moment, definitely, the best football team in the world, that’s how it is, but we will give it a try anyway, knowing there are no guarantees. “There were a lot of positive moments but with all respect to Rangers, we know there’s a big gap between Rangers and Manchester City. Konate’s appearance at Ibrox marked a first start of the season for the centre-back but The Athletic is reporting that he missed training on Friday due to a muscle problem.
