Liverpool Manager Jurgen Kloppas called on his players to bounce back from their disappointing midweek defeat at Napoli by returning to form against rivals Manchester City.

The German tactician believes his side’s Champions League defeat on Wednesday could prove to be beneficial to his side when going up against Pep Giardiola’s side.

Klopp, speaking in his weekly press conference, said: ‘My faith in the team is so good. We want to show a reaction. I didn’t want to lose at Napoli but if you ask the best preparation mood wise, it’s losing a game. We felt it now, we don’t want to have that feeling again.The timing wasn’t good in the defence, we didn’t adapt to what they did in the right way.”

The German went on, “After the game it felt much more clear that they deserved to win. Timing was not good because we felt under pressure when we were not under it. We had a few wrong decisions where we could have played left, not right, there was a lot of times which was close to being good but no real perfect decision. We had three days and make the boys aware of what was wrong but I won’t forget how we played against Chelsea. We have to stay cool.”

Klopp went on to warn his stars they have to be at their best if they are to beat Premier League leaders Manchester City at Anfield at the weekend.

A win would see Liverpool leap above City going into the international break.

He added: “We have to be spot on. At our best to keep them away from our goal and creating chances in front of our goal. It will be hard work, no problem with that, everybody knows it.”
