TV program could be a plot for Manchester City to put pressure on Liverpool – John Aldridge

First of all, we did not want to be eliminated from the FA Cup in the third round.

You want to be in all the competitions and you want to be strong and show that you are able to do it – like in Manchester City.

However, it gave us a better chance in the Premier League and Champions League.

This is because we do not exert as much pressure on our team.

I emphasize that I would have liked to be able to attend the finals of the England Cup, but going out has probably offered us a better opportunity.

Things can happen in football and that can implode – look what happened to Tottenham.

Mauricio Pochettino was uneasy in Liverpool wondering why the experts say Liverpool has the best team with Manchester City while the Spurs were in all four competitions.

But now, they were eliminated from the FA Cup and the League Cup the same week and the key players were injured, unfortunately for them, so they will be struggling now.

Use City playing in front of us as motivation

The Reds will play after their title rivals at the four Premier League week-ends in March.

Of course, you would prefer to play before City, but there will be moments before the end of the season.

Of course, this can have a psychological effect, but it will be Klopp's and the players' turn to do what they have done from the beginning: take care of themselves and continue to focus on the next game and score three points before moving on to the next. opponent.

You just do not know it and you can never say categorically that this change of match so that City does not play first has not been done on purpose to put more pressure on Liverpool.

Of course, it is unlikely but use it as a motivational weapon – if there is a plot, we take it and send it back to it directly.

City can continue to win but as long as we do the same thing, it can also have a psychological effect on them. It could actually work in our favor to break City if we continue to win and we can use it as a positive element.
