Liverpool appear to be riding the crest of a wave in terms of our brilliant start to the season and we all hope that will continue against Tottenham but one pundit has sent the Reds a warning before the match.
Speaking to Sky Sports, Paul Merson said:
“If Liverpool beat Tottenham next week it would be a big result. I’m not saying they will lose the match, but coming to Tottenham now, you are facing a very strong team with good players…
“Liverpool are playing well at the moment because you just have to stay there. You have to win one game at a time and you don’t want to let them take the lead.
“Liverpool’s biggest advantage is that they can draw with Tottenham and Brighton in the next two weeks, because they have two games to play Man City – and they can beat Man City twice.”
It wouldn’t be the best tactic to go out for a draw against both Tottenham and Brighton in our next two league games and if we have such confidence that we can do the double over Manchester City – then we should be looking for wins in every game.
It’s been such a great start to the season that it does feel like we really can beat any team that we face, with cup competitions providing a great excuse to hand minutes to squad players and rotate the squad for freshness.
Diogo Jota and Cody Gakpo have had a good start to the campaign but to be able to hand them both a start and see them both score against Leicester City will be great for Jurgen Klopp.
Fringe players being able to jump into action will be a massive plus and if we keep winning, that mentality will follow through into the bigger matches like our next two in the Premier League.
Let’s go and get a ‘massive result’, do it again in the following fixture and make a real impact by showing everyone that we’re gunning for bigger prizes than just Champions League qualification this season.
