Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says it would be “insane" to give up hope in the title race.
The 1-1 draw against Tottenham, their first time they had not won in the league at Anfield since October, left them needing Manchester City to drop three points before the end of the season to stand a chance of deposing Pep Guardiola's reigning Premier League champions.
But that still requires Liverpool to have a perfect finish to the campaign, a situation they have been living with since their current unbeaten run began at the turn of the year.
“If we would have won it wouldn't have increased the probability to win against Aston Villa, not at all, so then maybe there it would've happened. That's how it is," said the Liverpool manager.
“Imagine City would lose at one point – I can't see it or imagine that – and because we don't believe any more, we then cannot use it. That would be really insane.
“The boys are absolutely in the mood they should be now – very disappointed. That's fine.
“But you overcome things and that's not a general problem. If, in the moment when we get the first little stone thrown in our way, we stop doing it – I wouldn't like that too much, to be honest.
“It's just we have to show resilience – we will."
