The Reds have been very impressive under Jurgen Klopp this season
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp issued a statement of intent by bolstering the squad during the summer transfer window, signing 4 new players and reinforcing the particular weak areas. They finished 25 points adrift of champions Manchester City and the manager is keen to to mount a Premier League title charge this season.
He splashed out over £170 million to secure the signings of midfielder Naby Keita from RB Leipzig, versatile Fabinho from Monaco, winger Xherdan Shaqiri from Stoke City and goalkeeper Alisson Becker from Roma.
The Reds have begun their campaign excellently, winning all the Premier League fixtures so far and are only 1 of the 2 teams to have 100 percent record. They have scored 11 goals and only have conceded 2, sitting second on the table.
They continued their fine form in the Champions League, beating Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain 3-2 on Tuesday. Roberto Firminho scored the winner in stoppage time.
The Anfield Outfit have been tipped as one of the favourites to win the Premier League this season. Former club’s star Paul Ince has labelled victory against PSG as a turning point for them this season and believes they will win the Premier League this season.
He said as quoted by LiverpoolEcho: “I can sense that Liverpool’s game against PSG could be one of those games that lives long in the memory. That’s because it felt like a turning point.
“Obviously, when they went 2-2, it was jittery. But it takes true winners to get those all-important winners in the dying minutes of the game. That’s where champions are made.”
Ince added: “It’s not all about three or four nil wins, sometimes it’s those tough, hard to grind out results, like their away game at Leicester.
“That’s how you know you’re seeing a title-winning side.
“Titles are won when you don’t necessarily play well – but still come out with three points. That’s like the teams I played in when I was at Manchester United.
“A lot of teams would’ve settled for a point and a draw at home to PSG, but Jurgen Klopp wanted to get the winner and go full throttle, and that’s impressive and frightening for their opponents. It shows the mindset of Liverpool this campaign, they won’t take no for an answer.
“You could sense the frustration and anger when they conceded two, but they still got that goal when they needed it most.
“Liverpool fans are right to be excited. There are a lot of positive signs coming out of the club at the minute. For the first time in a long time, people you speak to are fancying them to win the title.
“I can’t see anyone coming close to them and Man City to be honest. The signs look great for trophies, the best they’ve looked in years, and fans should be feeling very hopeful.”
