Already in the new season, Liverpool has had a very successful start. If only a few things had gone differently in the VAR hub during the Spurs match, Jürgen Klopp’s team might have been leading the Premier League standings. And that’s even after they’ve already been given four red cards and cleared out of a few difficult matches.
A delicious trip to Manchester City awaits after the next four games, which appear winnable for Everton, Nottingham Forest, Luton, and Brentford. Although there is still a long way to go, Liverpool appears to be in a much better position this season than it was the previous one thanks to Klopp’s successful midfield makeover over the summer.
However, Liverpool also has two more midfielders to unleash in the form of Thiago Alcântara and Stefan Bajčetić in addition to recent additions Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, Wataru Endō, and Ryan Gravenberch. Mostly, the Spanish duo has suffered injuries thus far. As a matter of fact, Thiago has not played a minute this season, and Bajčetić has been carefully managed following a season-ending injury that kept him out for nearly half a year. Prior to the international break, Klopp stated that both were getting closer to a comeback.
And lastly, another young talent sidelined by injury is Conor Bradley. Although Bradley may not be a clear choice, his health may allow Joe Gomez to focus more on playing in the center, where he excels, as opposed to replacing Trent Alexander-Arnold. In contrast, Jack Grealish and Jérémy Doku are not as dependable as the goal-scoring options available to Klopp, and Manchester City has suffered without Rodri and Kevin De Bruyne. Each of Liverpool’s attackers poses a serious risk.
Liverpool has a deep roster, which will continue to be an advantage as the season goes on, even though not every player will be available or fit at any given time in the main. The true caliber of the Reds’ talent will only be highlighted as players like Thiago get back to playing shape. Talk about this.
