Liverpool have a nervousness about them, says Joey Barton after Reds drop more points in Premier League title race
Joey Barton has told talkSPORT he senses a nervousness about Liverpool after they slipped up again in the Premier League title race.The Reds were held to their second consecutive draw on Monday night as West Ham came from a goal behind to seal a 1-1 tie at the London Stadium although the hosts were unfortunate not to win.It was another unconvincing display from Jurgen Klopps side, who also were not at their best in their 1-1 draw with Leicester City last weekend.2

Is Jurgen Klopp and his Liverpool side feeling the strain?

The back-to-back results have seen Liverpools lead at the top of the table reduce from seven to three points, reigniting Manchester City and Tottenhams hopes of catching the leaders.And Barton believes the Reds are feeling the pressure.Speaking on Tuesdays Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast, the boyhood Everton fan said: If you asked me before the last two games against Leicester and West Ham, I would have said the title was going to Anfield.But theres a nervousness around the place, isnt there.We saw that last night and against Leicester too, theres an apprehension.Thats what comes with not winning a title for 29 years.2

The result has put Everton fans in a moral dilemma ahead of Wednesdays clash against Manchester City.Victory would see the Toffees climb up to eighth in the table, but a win would also boost their red rivals title bid, so some supporters have said on social media that they would be happy to lose.Weve got a strange one Marco Silva could be the first Everton manager to win that game and get the sack!
