"It shouldn’t be that big of a surprise": Ex-Liverpool player opens up after the Reds defeat

Liverpool legend Steve Nicol has insisted that he is not surprised to see the Reds losing form towards the end of the season. The newly-crowned champions were beaten 2 - 1 during the Premier League clash against Arsenal on Wednesday night. It means that Jurgen Klopp's side won't reach Manchester City's 100-point record this term. However, Nicol believes that Reds players are not worried about the points record and says that it is not surprising to see the club dropping off. The former Liverpool player told ESPN FC: “The players aren’t bothered [about the points record]. You saw in the performance and certainly the goals that Liverpool lost, they have switched down a gear, no question. The concentration isn’t what it was and that’s completely understandable. That is just what happens when you have already got the Premier League in your back pocket. You have got nothing else to play for, so it shouldn’t be that big of a surprise.”
