"If you want to see fresher, give them a summer break - for Jordan Henderson it was exactly two weeks, which is funny. But that's how it is.
"That's why I say going away is not a big problem but now you call a manager of any country and ask him to leave out one or two players and he says, 'I am under pressure as well' because now it's Nations League.
"I don't exactly know what you can win but there is some final next summer or something so that's it."
Meanwhile Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola said that City's 0-0 draw was an improvement on last season's visit to Anfield where they were defeated 3-0 in a Champions League quarter-final first leg.
"If it's an open game against Liverpool, you don't have a chance, not even one percent,” the 47-year-old said post-match.
“If it’s up and down quickly they are much, much better—they are maybe the best team in the world running these transitions, offensive-defensively.
“There is not a team better in the world than them, because they are built for that, created for that.
“It’s what Jurgen feels, and what the players take, for that sense. In that situation they are much better than us.
“We know how complicated it is to play this team in this stadium. They are incredibly good and incredibly quick, but we controlled the game well - we just didn't create.
“It's better than last season when we lost here."
