Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool are way ahead of Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City.
Some Liverpool fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne’s comments about the season.
De Bruyne – who cost City £51 million in transfer fees, according to The Guardian – has suggested that if the 2019-20 Premier League campaign cannot be completed due to the global health crisis, then it should be cancelled.
Football in England is suspended at the moment due to the current health crisis in the world, and it is not clear when the season will resume.
The Liverpool Echo quotes De Bruyne as saying: “I have no idea if we will still play. In England, they want to wait as long as possible with a decision.
“But, as a footballer, that is not evident. You’re idle for six weeks, normally you need a preparation of three to four weeks. If we restart immediately, everyone will be injured after a few games. That cannot be the intention.
“There’s a lot of money involved and I think waiting so long to make a decision can cause problems for next season. It’s not that we have a very long summer break and can just postpone everything.
“I would be sorry to stop early after such a good season, but if it avoids problems towards next year, it must be done.”
Some Liverpool fans have given their take on De Bruyne’s comments on Twitter.
Below are some of the best comments:
Season must be completed
There is still time for the season to be completed, and it is imperative that the campaign is finished.
After all, there is still enough time, and if it runs into July or August, so be it.
Liverpool are at the top of the Premier League table at the moment with 82 points from 29 matches, as many as 25 points clear of second-placed and defending champions City, who have played 28 games.
