Joint Top…

The international break is over and all players have returned back to the squad. Considering recent weeks, this week was much more mellow with no midweek games and the team we were facing on Saturday were not on the same level as the teams we have faced up to this point. That said, never underestimate a team in the Premier League. Liverpool are notorious for beating the best teams but then losing to the worst. Sometimes it just doesn’t even make sense.

So this week was all about getting the players back into their club routine and focusing on Saturdays game away at Huddersfield. This team have not won a game yet so the mindset had to be to not let it happen to us. It is very easy for teams to get complacent when facing opponents like this as they think it will be a walk in the park then get embarrassingly beat. This is our manager, Klopp’s, main objective for the week I feel – to get the team in the right mindset.

So game day comes along and Klopp announces the starting team to be a bit different than usual with Lallana and Sturridge up top instead of Mane and Firmino. Not sure for this reasoning but fans were not too upset as Liverpool right now do have great squad depth. This decision ultimately led to a 1-0 victory with Salah as the goal scorer which is great as he hasn’t been living up to the expectations fans of him yet this season so hopefully this can get his confidence up and get him on a roll. The game was actually really poor as we didn’t play well at all but ultimately a win is a win so I have no complaints with that.

This weeks game puts us joint top of the league with Manchester City after 9 games into the season.
