Liverpool's fabulous start to the season continues

      

       Liverpool's winning streak this season has been inevitable and they've literally blocked all roads, not allowing a single team to knock them down. Totally dominant in both European and Club football this season, making them the most feared and best team in Europe at the moment. Slicing it clean with comfortable victories in all competitions, the Reds are currently on course to claim their first Premier League trophy after 3 decades now. Liverpool fairly enjoyed impressive seasons in the past, particularly in 2008/2009, 2013/2014 and 2018/2019, but the current form that they are in are incomparable to any of that mentioned! 

      Don't remember seeing a Liverpool side as deadly as this and it certainly is a proud moment for all Reds fan to see the team back to where they rightfully belong. The formidable form that the Reds are currently enjoying looks almost impossible to beat off and it is definitely going to stay for a very long time. 

     There was a time Liverpool only had several players capable of delivering world-class crosses, but now, almost everyone in the squad can do it. That's how much the team has progressed over the years under the supervision of Klopp. The width and depth this possesses now is unbelievable. Klopp now has two major trophies under his name and is looking ever confident and likely to win more in the years to come with his fellow Redmen. 




      It was a week full of happiness for Liverpool fans as they celebrated some really good news when Klopp and James Milner signed an extension to the contract with the club until 2024. Milner on the hand, has proved to be a great asset by stepping up when it matters the most and it is the kind of maturity and experience that Liverpool needs from time to time. 

    Liverpool's back four has been a formidable force and a major pursuit in the Reds course of maintaining 100% record in the league this season. In the past few weeks, we've seen the likes of Matip and Lovren (latest in the list) suffering from injuries which opens the door for Gomez to step up and prove a point. The English national player was sidelined for several months after suffering a broken leg last season and struggled to find the form he once had. But now, with Matip and Lovren out through injuries, Gomez filled up the gap just perfectly and was a deadly force pairing with Virgil Van Dijk. 

     Gomez's and Van Dijk's strong physique is a worrying factor for many attackers although there's less clean sheets in the past few games. Among the front three, Mane is proving to be a force to be reckoned and it was indeed a surprise to not see Mane win the Ballon d'Or this year. That's how good Mane has been and truly, an underrated player. Salah and Firmino has not been as deadly as how they used to be but definitely effective as ever. 

YNWA!
