Jurgen Klopps men also booked their place in the Champions League last 16 last week and on Monday morning were drawn against Bayern Munich in the first knockout stage.Speaking ahead of the 11am draw, Barnes said no team in the competition would have wanted to face the in-form Reds.You still have some great teams in there, and Liverpool are one of them,he told Mondays Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast.But I dont think any team will want to play us.You can talk about Barcelona, Juventus and Real Madrid, I think most teams will not want to play Liverpool, because of the determination intensity they play every single game with.3

So of course they can [win the Champions League title] but in cup matches you can never tell.For me, the Premier League is the most important thing. The league shows you the best teams, the most consistent teams who are at the top of the league and at the moment were there.So the Champions League will be interesting, but theres still a long way to go with a lot of good teams in there.Liverpool are still unbeaten in the league after 17 games, with Sunday’s win leaving rivals United 19 points off the pace and 11 behind the top four.3

And Barnes was full of praise for the Reds’ performance as a lovely Sadio Mane finish and a late brace from Xherdan Shaqiri sealed their first victory over the Red Devils in nine league games.Liverpool were the better side from start to finish, the former England international added.Man United should have been dead and buried and when they equalised you would have thought it would have given them a bit of impetus. But in the second half Liverpool completely controlled the ball. It was a typical Liverpool performance, whether theyre playing Manchester United or one of the lesser teams, theyve been really impressive this season.Liverpool are on fire at the moment.

Arsenal fans should think about what they wish for….there are not many examples in History of clubs who part from long term managers going straight onto to success, and I can't help but get the feeling that in 12 months times, whoever is in charge at Arsenal will be subject to the same In/Out debates.
