The performance of European Champions Liverpool against Southampton at the weekend away at St Mary’s was one display to forget, similar to the team’s second-half display at home against the promoted side Norwich City.
In both match days, the displays didn’t really matter as Liverpool had so much quality on and off the pitch in both encounters which made them secure them the maximum points
The only notable issue here is that the Reds won’t be playing teams like Norwich City and Southampton every blessed week. It’s important the team buck up ideas.
And, to be fair, the European Super Cup match at mid-week against Premier League giants Chelsea, which lasted 120 minutes, actually didn’t help Jurgen Klopp’s men in their Domestic league exploits so going all out to criticize the team at this point in the season may be a little harsh.
What the 2 goals to 1 victory away from home against Southampton on the south coast taught fans and every football lovers is that the Reds very much capable of grinding outmatch results even on difficult ground.
That attribute is going to be an important one if the team will press reigning Premier League champions Manchester City once again for another league season. In the last 2018/19 campaign, Liverpool did well enough to lift the trophy, but the Etihad club went just one better.
Last season Liverpool drew five (5) more matches than champions Manchester City, dropping ten (10) points, which put the Etihad club ahead of Liverpool even though Klopp’s men had only lost just a match all season long.
The Reds previous Premier League title charges have disappointingly fallen flat on the Reds’ face because of their inability to grind out results on difficult occasions. What comes to mind is the old ‘cold, rainy night in Stoke’ mantra.
Needless to remind any of you about that match versus Crystal Palace back in 2014.
With Liverpool’s star-studded front line and a stellar defence, any Liverpool fan will tip Klopp’s men to go all the way in the league once again this term. It’s however impossible to boldly say who will lift the Premier League title, but it’s crystal clear Liverpool will be in the discussion after winter.
In time past at Liverpool, the Reds have had to solely rely on one big star footballer – the like of Fernando Torres, Luis Suarez, and ‘Captain Fantastic’ Steven Gerrard – but the team we now ‘proudly’ have three (3) world-class attackers in the team in Egyptian Mohammed Salah, Brazilian Bobby Firmino, and Senegalese Sadio Mane.
