If you had said to Liverpool fans that after eight games of the new season, you’d be sitting just two points off the summit having beaten both Arsenal and Chelsea in London, they’d have taken it.
Not only taken it but probably snapped your hand off given the way in which Jurgen Klopp’s Reds side have immediately stamped their mark on the new season with their intense pressing game and 18 goals scored thus far.
Having laid out the blueprint on the opening day of the campaign when dismantling Arsenal 3-4 at Emirates Stadium with some scintillating play, there is a feel good factor around Anfield at the moment.
While it is still way too early to claim Liverpool are definite title contenders this term, they’ve set about their task in the best way possible and only playing in three competitions this season may help the men from Anfield.
Shackled by their participation in the Europa League in recent years, no European football this term means easier recovery from league fixtures not to mention a reduced schedule.
Having added his own players to the Liverpool team this summer, Jurgen Klopp now often faces a positive selection headache, having to let down several players who can only make the bench, if at all the squad.
With this theme in mind, This Is Futbol have today devised a list of FIVE Liverpool players who must desperately seek a loan switch away from Anfield in January.
