2. And the Reds go marching on on on!
A stat provides not only great reading but showcases the ability of Brendan Rodgers managerial acumen, Liverpool picked up 22 points from their first 17 games in the Premier League, from their next 9 games they have picked up 23 points. Liverpool have kept 5 away clean sheets in a row for the first time since 1985 and they seem to be doing quite well in a new formation.
Liverpool won a tough away game against Southampton, albeit with some help from a Friend, Liverpool could consider themselves lucky not to concede a couple of penalties but Coutinho’s goal was simply breath-taking and worthy of winning any game. Liverpool are now only 2 points away from a top 4 finish, they close the gap thanks to a Manchester United loss and a draw for Spurs. Liverpool do face Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal and Chelsea in their run of Premier League games, they also have FA Cup and Europa League commitments but with a strong defence and a goalkeeper playing in the best form of his life, Liverpool could well make it easily into the top 4 and win a trophy, quite an achievement considering the first half of the season.
