Liverpool boss Klopp eases nerves: It's March, who cares?!

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp insists there's no reason for panic after their 0-0 draw at Everton.

However, he still urged calm after a difficult day at Goodison Park.

He said, "I don't think I have to give my players that advice because they know it already. Look, we are not little boys anymore, it's not that we were completely surprised that we can play good football and we are in the very, very top part of the table. But if you are there you have to be ready for all the different things that happen. Sometimes you have a lead and everybody says, 'that's done' 20 games before the end of the season.

"To stay calm in these situations was very easy. Then you have one point or two points more. It's absolutely not important. At the beginning of March, who cares? The good thing is that we are in the battle, we are in the fight, that's really good news. My feeling is more and more that we are really prepared for it because again it was a difficult game for us. Everybody has to come here and it's probably always difficult but obviously against us it's extremely difficult.

"We get a point; if somebody should have won the game, I think it was only one team. We had the chances. In a wild game we had chances, big chances and didn't use them. It's a point, let's carry on."
