Boss Jurgen Klopp analyses title-holders Liverpool's outstanding run in ongoing PL season

'So far, so good', said Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp as he analysed the team's performance in the ongoing 2020-2021 season and he also acknowledged the tight race at the top of the Premier League table.

The Premier League title-holders are currently at the summit of the points table with nine wins from 16 matches and 33 points in their tally.

'So far, so good': Jurgen Klopp

"For sure, but last season was very tough for us as well, it's not that we thought, 'Oh my God, it's that easy.' It was really tough. And this year is tough again. We wish it would not be that close but I'm not surprised that it's close. We have our situation, all the other clubs have their situation. Our season is so far, so good. Not more, not less," the club's official website quoted Klopp as saying when asked whether this season is tougher than last.
