Jurgen Klopp reckons Liverpool have all the tools in the toolbox - they just need to make sure they use them right.
Klopp felt the Reds failed to get to grips with Arsenal last weekend.
Manchester City can turn the screw in Saturday's lunchtime kick-off against Everton as Pep Guardiola's side can go top with a win
The Reds can wrench back control if they return to winning ways by beating Burnley later on in the afternoon.
Klopp
“We have a tool box full of the right tools, we just have to use them and we didn’t do that properly at Arsenal,”
"We just have to admit that. That is why on top of the pure defeat that we couldn’t do that on that day was really painful. But now that was long ago and we have to try again.”
The German still appeared to be hurting from the defeat which came just days after one of their best performances of the season when they thrashed Chelsea 4-1.
Klopp said
“Before we played Arsenal, they were more or less out of form, out of the race, out of everything,”
"They win the game and everything is great.
"We beat Chelsea a few days before it really looked like: 'wow, Liverpool really goes for it this year'. So it is not important and the last game is the least important if you want and the only thing you can use it for is to react.
“To maintain, to do it again or to change it and with us it is always a little bit, with the general shape we're in, we need to do both.”
Klopp added
"We need to keep the good stuff in a game where people expect us to win,”
“Nobody goes to Arsenal and thinks they will win it clearly and there is always reasonable doubt about that but Burnley at home, it is completely different.
"For us it is important we just ignore who the opponent is. We get all the information, the position in the table, the name of the club, history, it is all not important.
“It is our game, we want to get through and we have to do the right stuff.”
