GARY NEVILLE believes Liverpool are already feeling the pressure in the Premier League title race following their 1-1 draw with West Ham.
The Sky Sports pundit thinks that the Reds’ reaction to challenging questions in the post-match interview are a “complete no-no”.
Liverpool were as much as seven points clear at the top of the Premier League table last month.
But they are now behind Manchester City on goal difference – with the Reds having one game in hand – after Jurgen Klopp’s men have drawn two league games in a row.
The German coach was furious when his side dropped points against West Ham on Monday and lashed out at the officials.
And full-back Andrew Robertson appeared to have bristled when asked whether his team is cranking under the pressure amid recent results.

Neville thinks that Liverpool will have to get used to answering annoying questions while fighting for the Premier League crown as such reactions are inexcusable for a title contender.
He told Sky Sports: “The fans are right to be annoyed at calls that Liverpool are already bottling it and are feeling the pressure. However, that is the question they will keep facing.
“When you haven’t won a title and you drop points you face questions about pressure.
“When you’ve won a title or two and drop points then you face questions about complacency. That’s how it works.
“However, it is a fair question. Liverpool were still underdogs up to Christmas and they got through January, but now it has become real for them and you can see it has had an impact.
“Post-match on Monday, the players bit at questions about pressure, it clearly rattled them and it showed.
“Those questions do annoy you, but never show they annoy you – that’s a complete no-no in a title race.
“Just bat them off and move on. Don’t give anyone any excuse to think the pressure is getting to you.”
