​Liverpool manager Klopp: City win feels like six months ago

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp believes his side can no longer rest on the impressive win they got against Manchester City a week ago.

While many Liverpool fans are still delighted at that performance and result, Klopp says it is something that is already out of his mind.

And the reason for that fact is probably due to the 1-0 defeat that Liverpool suffered at the hands of Swansea City in Wales.

"Last weekend [against City] feels like it was half a year ago, it's not what I'm interested in," Klopp told Sky Sports.

"We're frustrated, I'm frustrated, I'm angry because of what we did today. We have to get the points, we have to learn from it. The boys did better in the last few weeks but that does not help us tonight.

"We lost the game in the first half. Not only because we conceded the goal - It can happen like this -but because we didn't keep the positions we wanted to be in.

"We wanted to do it differently but it didn't happen on the pitch for us. At half-time we said OK, maybe we can start doing what we wanted to do at the beginning.

"But because of the first-half we weren't that secure or confident in what we were doing."
