Jurgen Klopp insists he did not look beyond Thursday ‘s game at Tottenham as his side of Liverpool are up against a run of games that could be assured in their Premier League title defense.
The Reds are without a league win since beating Crystal Palace 7-0 on Dec. 19, taking just three points from five games since.
And with games against West Ham, Manchester City and Leicester flying high, Klopp ‘s side need to quickly rediscover their best form.
“We never thought about the game after the next game,” he said. “We play Tottenham, nothing more. It’s sad enough but it’s just Tottenham.
“In the best of times, we said it and the truth was, we go game after game. Do you think it is impossible to go there and get something? No.”
The last time Liverpool and Tottenham met six weeks ago they were in first and second place in the league, but both have fallen out of the top four.
Klopp’s side have dropped points against West Brom, Southampton, Newcastle, Manchester United and Burnley in recent weeks, failing to score in the league in their last four games.
But Klopp has faith that they will get back to the levels they saw sweeping to the title with 99 points last term.
“We want to be the team that nobody wants to play against,” he said. “We have the opportunity to be like that team tomorrow and on Sundays and again on Wednesdays and again and again. This is what we want.
“People told us we were the best team in the world. We were but that’s not a problem. We could beat the best team in the world and we still can but we want to prove that on the pitch and we will.
“We are on fire to go back, and the more we think about it and say about it, the more we want it. ”
