EPL 2016/17: Manchester City 1-1 Liverpool, 5 Talking Points

Liverpool took a vital point on their trip to Manchester

#5 Jurgen Klopp wins the top six managerial battle

Klopp’s team have done well against other clubs in the top 6

Even before the season began, there was a lot of talk about this PL season being the World Championship of top managers with even Arsene Wenger agreeing to it.

Out of Antonio Conte, Jurgen Klopp, Jose Mourinho, Pep Guardiola, Arsene Wenger and Mauricio Pochettino, it is fair to say that Klopp has gegenpressed his way into the top of that mini-table with five wins and five draws in 10 games against the remaining five, thereby winning a psychological battle in this season as neither of the remaining teams are unbeaten in this mini-league.

Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool have amassed 20 points from the fixtures, with Chelsea a distant second with 13 points, and the remaining teams picking up less than 10 points. However, Liverpool have picked up only 19 points in 10 games against the bottom six and this shows why Liverpool are in the current position, instead of challenging for the title despite their terrific record against their rivals.
