Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp believes that only Manchester City have the ability to constantly challenge for the Premier League title given their ability to spend money in the transfer market.
Klopp’s side won their first league title last season, but this season, the champions have slide into a slump that is arguably the most dramatic seen in the premier League era.
The unprecedented fifth straight home league defeat, by Chelsea on Thursday, left the champions seventh place, 22 points back of Pep Guardiola’s side.
Last season, it felt as though Klopp’s side could dominate English football for years, but the liverpool boss laments not having ‘money tree’ compared to Man City as the reason for their failure this season.
Speaking to the press, Jurgen Klopp says City’s ability to spend money in the transfer market is the reasons they constantly challenge for the Premier League title.
“The premier league is the most difficult league to stay on top of everything for a long period. There’s one team who maybe has everything for it: the team, players, manager, money, all these kind of things – it’s Manchester City,” Klopp said.
“All the rest have to fight with all you have to get close. When you are close enough you can maybe do what we showed last year.”
This Klopp’s claim has prompt plenty of Sky Blues to react on social media, with many appearing baffled by the liverpool Manager’s comments.
He can never praise us without putting us down first 😐

He really needs to stop making excuses. He’s a great manager but Pep just gets on with it, takes the ups and downs in his stride and aims to get best out of who he’s got available
