Robbie Fowler hits nail on head over Liverpool 'Invincibles' bid

Former Liverpool striker Robbie Fowler has admitted he isn't bothered if the Reds avoid defeat in the Premier League this season, stating winning the league is 'the be-all and end-all'.

Jurgen Klopp's side sit 25-points clear of Manchester City and could seal the title next month, with just 12 matches to play before history is made.

In the national media, a lot of the attention has shifted towards whether Liverpool can emulate Arsenal's 'Invincible' side by avoiding defeat for the entire season.

However, the attitude on Merseyside is different as the priority is simply to win the league and the scenario of doing so is largely irrelevant, something Fowler agrees with.

"I think they can. Will they? I don't know. Am I bothered? Probably not so much actually! I want them to win the league, that's the be-all and end-all for me," he told Sky Sports.

"Will Jurgen want them to go unbeaten? Of course he will because he's a manger that demands the best out of every player, every game.

"Of course he'll have the players believing in themselves, they'll have that confidence instilled in them and they'll believe they can. Will they? I hope they will but it doesn't matter if they don't. They're still the best team."
