Paul Mesron sees Liverpool's FA Cup exit as 'best thing' for their Premier League title race
Liverpool witnessed another defeat in a row after Jurgen Klopp's selection comprising several youth team players were dumped out by Wolves at the Molineux on Monday.
Their defeat to Wolves on Monday night now makes it four attempts in which they were unable to get beyond the fourth round of the competition since Jurgen Klopp took over at Anfield.
But the Reds are currently front runners in the Premier League and former Arsenal ace Paul Merson believes their FA Cup exit could help them focus on the Premier League title pursuit after 29 year of setbacks.
Merson told The Debate: "I just think it's another game out the way. They've got a two-week break after playing a couple more league games and recharge their batteries.
"They're in an unbelievable position to make history, they haven't won the league in 29 years - don't get carried away and start thinking about the double, concentrate on the league.
"As long as it doesn't affect the players' thinking, two defeats on the trot, but they've just been beaten by Man City, one of the best teams in the world, and made nine changes tonight. For me, it could be the best thing that happened to them."
