2) Liverpool Premier League winners & Philippe Coutinho top scorer
Sunday’s performance against Arsenal was far from vintage, but going forward the Reds looked deadly and summer signings Sadio Mane and Georginio Wijnaldum, although initially eyebrow-raising, fit Klopp’s system and style of play perfectly. The German in the dugout has finally had a full pre-season to work with the squad and now has multiple options in each position; Liverpool’s squad depth is vastly improving.
Crucial to their successes this season is forward Coutinho whose spectacular strike against the Gunners on the opening weekend was routine by his standards. Seldom do we see in any top division a player who is not an out-and-out striker win the Golden Boot, but Coutinho’s fine eye for goal from distance means that he’s certainly up there as a contender this season.
