Klopp, Guardiola defend Liverpool's attitude after 4-0 loss

The Hindu  

Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola insisted that Liverpool had been fully focused and hadn't taken its foot off the gas, despite Manchester City's comfortable 4-0 win over the newly crowned champions at the Etihad on Thursday. City looked sharper and hungrier for most of the game, taking a 3-0 lead by half-time, while Klopp's Liverpool was well below its usual levels of intensity. Liverpool had previously lost only one league game this season, leading some observers to suggest last week's title win - its first in 30 years - and subsequent celebrations had affected play on Thursday. "I saw a team with incredible focus, with energy and a desire to win the game, and I saw from the first minute they were focused to play hard,” he added.
