Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp had something to say about Arsenal duo William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes after the defeat at Everton last night.

The Reds’ chance of winning the Premier League have taken a huge hit now.

Jurgen Klopp had to face the media after the defeat last night, and he wasn’t a happy man.

However, the German refused to make any excuses for his side’s performance at Goodison Park.

When a journalist asked him if fatigue was the reason behind Liverpool’s recent defeats, the Reds boss pointed at how Arsenal duo Gabriel Magalhaes and William Saliba had played the same amount of minutes as his players or more but have still done well.

He said, as per Liverpool’s official website: “There are different aspects, definitely.

Players who played all the games are not that fresh, but that is for other teams the same.

“Let me say, Gabriel and Saliba played all the games for Arsenal.

Up front it is a super-intense job to do, always high sprint, always go, go, go and that we cannot change [players] there is difficult.”

Fatigue is normal at this stage of the season, but the best teams get over it and do the business.

Jurgen Klopp deserves credit for not making any excuses last night, but his comment about Gabriel Magalhaes and William Saliba is not wrong at all.

In the Premier League this season, the Frenchman has played every single minute – 3060 to be exact.

Gabriel has played 2715 minutes, which is a bit less than Virgil van Dijk but more than every other Liverpool player.

Van Dijk aside, Arsenal have seven players who have played more minutes than everyone at Liverpool this season, but they are still at the top of the Premier League table at the moment.

Liverpool can only blame themselves for the position they are in right now.
