"I said to the players after the game that we could not expect any different against a team fighting to win the Premier League that is one of the most perfect teams I have seen in my life," the City boss told the MEN.
"Against this Liverpool you cannot win the league a month ago or two or three fixtures ago. You have to fight until the end.
"They fought, we fight and the big privilege we have is that it is in our hands at home. We only have to look at ourselves and we will give everything.
"I said [to the players] today not to be said because you gave a really good performance and it is fair against this opponent to arrive on the final day to decide who is the best, because both teams are too good."
Newcastle encouraged to sign Liverpool outcast
Former Premier League defender Alan Hutton believes Newcastle United should be trying to sign Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain amid uncertainty surrounding his future at Liverpool. The England international could leave Anfield this summer and Hutton believes the Magpies should be looking to sign midfielder.
He told Football Insider : "It’s difficult because you want to stay at a club like Liverpool. You’re challenging for all these trophies but you want to also play your part. If that’s not happening, it’s possibly time to move elsewhere.
“West Ham, Newcastle, Aston Villa, even the likes of Everton and Palace, all these teams are building for the future. They’re building something special as well and why would you not want to be part of that?
“He could be an integral cog for one of these teams moving forward. He’s still got a lot to give, plenty of time. The only question mark is the injuries.
“That can happen with all the stop-start, it’s difficult to get a run going. any of those teams we’ve mentioned I think would jump at the chance of bringing someone of his quality through the door.”
Frank Lampard rues red card 'mistake' after Everton defeat
Frank Lampard has been dealt a further blow as the Toffees saw two men sent off against Brentford as the Bees came from behind to take all three points at Goodison Park. The Toffees are just one point above Jesse Marsch's side but have a game in hand on the Whites.
Speaking after the defeat, Lampard said: "They're a strong group and they gave everything there today. On another day we win that game comfortably and we're all relaxing a little bit tonight.
"They'll go again. We'll all go again. It's my job first and foremost. There's no point putting fake smiles on tonight because it's frustrating that you don't get the result.
"It's not an issue of effort, it was a mistake that changes it after that, everyone, the intentions were great, the crowd were great. We have to just go again. Recharge and go again."
