Manchester City vs Liverpool: Jurgen Klopp is keeping complacency away just like previous managers such as Bob Paisley did
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is keeping his feet on the ground.He is keen to stress he and his players are only looking as far ahead as the next game and not what might happen in May. It’s just that the next game is against Premier League rivals Manchester City and a win would send them nine points clear at thetop of the table.4

However, the players all know there is a long way to go despite the fact they led by seven points at the end of 2018 and no team has ever failed to win the English top-flight title with such a lead coming into the new year before.Xherdan Shaqiri echoed his boss’ words when he said he and his team-mates are viewing their hugely important match at Manchester City as any other game and thoughts of eliminating their rivals from the title race do not exist.

Similarly, Georginio Wijnaldum said they pay no attention to what the chasing pack are doing.When we played Wolves away [the Friday before Christmas] a lot of the players didnt even know against who City or Tottenham were playing, he said.They are clearly wary of complacency, something great managers of Liverpool’s past were also able to instil in players with outstanding results.4

Paisley, Liverpool’s quiet genius, managed the club to great success between 1974 and 1983

Graeme Souness once revealed how legendary Anfield boss Bob Paisley kept his players on their toes.“Praise from Bob Paisley was like a snowstorm in the Sahara,” the former Liverpool captain said. “He may have been regarded as a fatherly figure by the supporters but he ruled at Anfield with a rod of iron. He was a commanding man and there were few who dared mess with him.“If we looked as though we were becoming a little complacent or we weren’t performing up to the standard, Bob would say: ‘If you’ve all had enough of winning, come and see me. I’ll sell the lot of you and buy 11 new players.'”4

Liverpool players are wary of complacency as they chase a first league title since 1990

Under Paisley, Liverpool won 20 trophies in nine seasons, which included six league titles, three European Cups, the UEFA Cup and three League Cups.“I’ve been here during the bad times, too,” one of his famous quotes begins. “One year we came second,” he added.His relentless drive for success can also be summed up by his son,Graham, who once said: “There are famous stories of him putting a box of championship medals in the Anfield dressing room after another title win and saying: ‘Take one, but only if you deserve it.’“That was his mentality. He was always looking forward and moving on.” Sounds a lot like Klopp, though Paisley was also known as the quiet genius – not a nickname you could ever give the current manager.4
