Jermaine Pennant blasts Liverpool and makes Man City comparison

Former Liverpool winger Jermaine Pennant has warned the Reds over their form after winning the Premier League title.

Taking into account Wednesday's reverse to Arsenal, Jurgen Klopp's men have lost twice since sealing the league - double the amount of times they suffered defeat before being crowned champions.

The latest loss ended any hopes the Reds had of breaking Manchester City's record points total - and that news has upset Pennant, who is concerned over a perceived complacency after winning the title. 

"Look, if we had got beat, I'd have accepted it," Pennant told talkSPORT.

"Fair enough, we've gone to Arsenal and we lost. But they didn't beat us, we handed it to them on a platter.

"They had three shots on our goal and scored two, we had 24 attempts and scored one.

"I'm raging. It's about making more history.

"I get it, 30 years not winning the league and now we've won it, but what, then we get complacent?

"Let's go on to win a bit more, let's be a great team like Man City have been over the last two years.

"They've won the league and everyone's human so they feel they've got nothing to play for now.

"But it's like, subconsciously, they're in holiday mode and they've just come off the boil a little bit, but they should keep going.

"We've won the league and we haven't really been allowed to celebrate it properly so why not create a little bit more?"
