I have no clue about it:- Klopp cares not about Liverpool unbeatean record

Jurgen Klopp claims he isn't even considering records as his “exceptional” Liverpool closed on a significant landmark.

The Reds stretched their unbeaten league run – and maintained their eight-point lead at the top of the Premier League – to 30 games with a 2-1 win at Crystal Palace on Sunday.

The visit of Brighton and Hove Albion next weekend represents a chance to match the club record of 31 games, set in the title-winning campaign of 1987-88.

Liverpool would then have the possibility to break new ground when they entertain Everton in the Anfield derby five days later.

But Klopp said: “I have no clue about the record. I don't what it means, to be honest. I've had no time to think about it."

“It would mean we need a result next week against Brighton, so I'm fine with that.

“We are not out there to break records or whatever, we are out there to get the best result over the full season.

“If on that way we break one or two records then good, we take that. But the next game is much more important than someone saying in 10 or 15 years this was the game that this team set a record.

“We have a bigger job to do. If one depends on the other, then we will take both."

No team in top-flight history has taken more points from their first 13 games in a season as Liverpool maintained their lead over second-placed Leicester City, who won 2-0 at Brighton.

“I know that 37 points from 13 matchdays is exceptional,” said Klopp. “You cannot have them winning only brilliant games. We had a couple of really brilliant games and we won them, but you can't only win them.

“We are not out there to send messages. We just want to get results.

“We are not out there to show we invented football, because we didn't. We have a job to do. We have to get results for our colours, and that's what we did.

“We have Napoli, then Brighton and then the derby. Tough games to come.

“We still create the basis for us. That's what we are doing. Hopefully we can continue with that.”
