Jurgen Klopp aimed a subtle dig at Manchester United, labelling their style "annoying", following Liverpool's derby victory.
Goals from Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah in either half were enough to secure the points for the Reds, who extended their lead to 16 points at the top of the Premier League.
Manchester United remain fifth following the defeat, but only on goal difference, with both Wolves and Sheffield United breathing down their necks.
Klopp was delighted with his side's display against their rivals, who he claims set up not to play attractive football, but to be frustrating.
"What a performance against an opponent with the quality of United, and the set up of United," The Liverpool manager told Sky Sports.
"Ole [Gunnar Solskjaer] will say the same, they wanted to annoy us, distract our game, defend and counter attack.
"They had moments when they played football but not too often, the other moments it was difficult to create chances, but the manner we created chances was exceptional."
Liverpool have dropped points just once this Premier League season, and are storming to a first title.
Reds supporters could be heard singing: "We're going to win the league," after Liverpool wrapped up the points at Anfield on Sunday.
But Klopp insists he and his players are not letting themselves get carried away.
"Nothing has changed, we have the same situation plus three points," added Klopp. "I will tell you immediately the moment if it feels different, at the moment it doesn't.
"I have no idea whether we will be caught or not, I don't care. First and foremost it's the Premier League. We play Wolves on Thursday, it's our next exceptional challenge.
"I don't have enough space in my brain to contemplate anything else."
