The German has responded to attackers who believes Liverpool could throw away the title after their 3-1 thrashing of Manchester City
This weekend results saw Leicester climbed above Manchester City as Liverpool's closest challengers after the Cityzen extended their miserable run at Anfield to one win in 29 visits - leaving them nine points adrift, while boss Pep Guardiola was left raging at some VAR calls.
During the encounter on Sunday evening, Fabinho fired Liverpool into an early lead with a superb 25-yard shot following a controversial VAR decision before Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane put the game out of sight, while City's late consolation came via Bernardo Silva.
Jurgen Klopp says his players can handle the pressure after they moved eight points clear at the top of the Premier League by beating the title rivals and reigning champions 3-1 at Anfield.
Speaking to Sky Sports, he said: "Handling the pressure? We don't really feel it, to be honest.
"There's still a long way to go. People 100 per cent will say from now on Liverpool can only lose it, but we don't care."
Asked if he crave going throughout the season unbeaten, he added: "Not at all. 100 per cent we don't think about it.
"I thought after the game a word I'm not allowed to say, now the boys go and play for their countries, and then we play Crystal Palace . That's all I'm concerned about."
