Liverpool are the real deal
In Liverpool’s recent years spent in mediocrity and mid-table, the main problem was their lack of direction and killer instinct. Sure they had Luis Suarez and a quickly deteriorating Steven Gerrard, but it wasn’t enough. Now though Brendan Rodgers has bought a game plan that brings out the best of his Uruguayan hitman, Daniel Sturridge, Iago Aspas and Philippe Coutinho, while Jordan Henderson no longer looks like a massive waste of money, and is playing well for the Reds.
In what will be the most testing period of the season for the Merseyside club, they will face Manchester City and Chelsea before the year is out, but they have started the difficult run of games in the best possible manner. The 5-0 destruction at White Hart Lane shows what they are capable of, firing a warning shot at City, Chelsea and leaders Arsenal. This Liverpool is here to stay, and unless something goes seriously wrong, we will see them deservedly back in the Champions League next season.
