Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says he trusts his players not to make the vital mistake of becoming complacent after a good start to the season in the Premier League.
The Reds are second in the table on 27 points, one point off league leaders Chelsea after twelve games, but the Liverpool manager is confident enough in his player’s ability and mentality to not let their guard down heading into future matches:
“If I went to the players and said ‘don’t think we are first’ or ‘we are first but nothing has been reached’ they would think I’m silly because they know this already. Stay cool, play football and see what happens.”
A pretty common sense point of view from Klopp, and hopefully the same cautious yet confident approach is reflected in all the players’ attitude when they head out on to the Anfield pitch to face strugglers Sunderland on Saturday afternoon.
The Black Cats will be on a high after two consecutive victories against Bournemouth and Hull City moved them up the league after being firmly rooted to the bottom of the table for so much of the season so far.
