In a recent statement, Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp has offered a candid assessment of his team’s chances in the Premier League title race.

However, Klopp also noted a positive shift in the team’s performance in the second half, suggesting a glimmer of hope for Liverpool’s title aspirations. “Play like the second half and we can win games. Win games, be around until the end and we’ll see where it takes us,” Klopp remarked. This indicates that despite the challenges, Klopp believes in his team’s ability to compete at the highest level, provided they can deliver consistent and strong performances.
