“Do they look like they lose two or three games?” Klopp said. “I don’t think so. I am not angry. Write what you want about that. I don’t think about it.

That will be my attitude and my mindset and we will see what that means. It’s a while ago that somebody became champion with 84 points. I am sorry but I don’t have better news.
