Klopp denies Liverpool are fatigued

10 February 2017
 
Manager Jurgen Klopp has denied that Liverpool are suffering from fatigue after last weekend's setback at Hull City, and urged fans to get behind the team when Tottenham Hotspur visit Anfield in the Premier League on Saturday.
A run of dire performances has seen Liverpool drop from second in the table on December 31 to fifth place, with Klopp's team winning one game in 10 in all competitions and none at all in the league since the start of the year.
Klopp refused to elaborate on Liverpool's lethargic display at relegation-threatened Hull, but said the team would have to raise their game to have any hope of beating second-placed Tottenham, who are on a run of nine league games without defeat.
"I can explain performances from the first half against Hull, but that's for me," the manager told reporters on Friday.
"We had no sign in the week that this would happen. We had a good game against Chelsea... It's not a physical issue. We were better in the second half against Hull. I was not happy. Even if we had won I'd have been angry about the first half.
