Jurgen Klopp laughs off "crazy" Premier League title suggestions

Jurgen Klopp has dismissed the "crazy" notion that Liverpool's 3-1 win at Chelsea on Saturday could prove to be the foundations of a Premier League title bid this season.
The German picked up his first league victory since replacing Brendan Rodgers 23 days ago, with a brace from Philippe Coutinho and another from Christian Benteke helping the Reds come from behind at Stamford Bridge.

Klopp's side moved seventh in the table, but stay eight points behind co-leaders Manchester City and Arsenal, and the 48-year-old is not entertaining the idea that a title challenge lies ahead."Are you crazy? You think after one win at Chelsea we should think about this? I've been here three weeks, round about," he is quoted as saying by The Mirror."We don't think about this.

We have to think about the next game, about improving our game and our style. We can do much better than today."Klopp, who won two Bundesliga titles in seven years with Borussia Dortmund, will now plan for next Sunday's visit of Crystal Palace to Anfield.

Hull City Manager chides Tottenham's Jan Vertonghen following Spurs' 2-1 win

Following Spurs' 2-1 win over Hull City, City manager Steve Bruce lashed out at Tottenham's Jan Vertonghen for exaggerating to get Hull City's Ramirez Gaston red-carded. Bruce castigated such act as unhealthy for the Premier League. The Uruguayan midfielder Ramirez got the red card for kicking at Belgian Jan Vertonghen. Bruce argued his man only showed "petulance" when he was provoked by Jan. And such behaviour could not be regarded as "violent". The City went down when Tottenham's Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen found the net in the game's second half. Speaking with his news conference, Bruce said, "Ramirez has shown petulance. Vertonghen has had a little go at him, and Ramirez has flicked out. The law says it is a violent conduct. For me, it is an act of petulance -- it is not violent conduct." Via espn

Headmaster Pep Guardiola injects new rules into City camp; bans mobile phones

It's safe to say Pep is a perfectionist and also a headmaster, lol. But seriously, Pep has no intentions to drop his standards after a record-breaking 2017/18 season. He doesn't plan to chart a course like his colleague Ranieri of Leicester City did. Pep recently banned the use of mobile phones, and he also banned lateness to training. Every violation comes with a corresponding fine, ask Benjamin Mendy. Pep plans to repeat his outstanding triumph like he did last season.
