Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp was bewildered by Kyle Walker's tweet midweek, shedding light on rivals for the title in Manchester City.

"It has to be a winning mentality and the players have to be focused.

"The mentality is similar [here]. You have to get into games to try to win them and give everything to do it. I'm pretty sure the talent of our team allows us to do a lot of things.

"Now we have to keep working hard until the end, work hard at training, integrate the game training and keep moving forward." There is still a long way to go, but we are in a very, very good way to have success. "

Shaqiri left Stoke for Liverpool in the summer, joining Brazilian duo Alisson and Fabinho and Guinean international Naby Keita as newcomers to Anfield before the 2018-191 Premier League season.

Keita made a promising start to his career in Liverpool before suffering a few minor injuries, affecting his ability to adapt to the rigors of Premier League life under Jurgen Klopp.

The 23-year-old showed flashes of his talent in Wednesday's 1-1 draw against Leicester, and Klopp is ready to be patient with the third-most expensive player in the club's history.

"Naby is an exceptional player but he still needs to improve: minutes, games, language, etc.

"Everything will be fine and up to now, but we can expect a lot more, it's like that."
