Liverpool CAN handle the pressure of Premier League title race, insists Anfield legend John Barnes
John Barnes believes Liverpool will handle the pressures on the Premier League title race this season, with help from the Jurgen Klopp factor.The Reds missed their chance to go seven points clear at the summit as they were held to a 1-1 draw against Leicester City.They failed to take full advantage after rivals and defending champions Manchester City suffered a shock defeat to Newcastle on Tuesday.2

Liverpool endured a frustrated evening at a wintry Anfield

It was only the second time Liverpool have failed to win at Anfield this season the other being the goalless draw with City in October and some have suggested the pressure may have got to the players.Still, the single point means the Reds are now five clear of Man City at the top with 14 games left to play.And Anfield legend Barnes told the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast on Thursday: Its not all doom and gloom.It was great opportunity to go seven points clear, but weve added another point.Its only January and teams, including Liverpool and Manchester City, will drop more points. Were not going to have another situation like last year where City went so far ahead of everybody else and didnt drop points. Liverpool drawing against a struggling Leicester team, City losing to a struggling Newcastle team this happens in the Premier League.So Id rather see this as a point gained. Yes, its an opportunity lost to go seven clear, but were one point further ahead.On the burden of leading the title race, two-time First Division champion Barnes added: The pressure isnt necessary going to show now, theres still a long way to go. The pressure really comes into focus around March.2

John Barnes won two First Division titles with Liverpool

But I think the Jurgen Klopp factor is very important he really takes every game as it comes, the pressure is to perform in every game, he puts demands on those players to give 100 per cent every time. So I think theyre able to handle the pressure.Listen back to John Barnes on the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast IN FULL above!
