5 reasons why Liverpool are title contenders

Balanced Squad

Depth in defense, prolific goal scorers, creativity in midfield, attacking wing backs, inspirational figure, they got it all figured out. Brendan Rodgers spent his money well in the summer and has ended up with one of the most balanced teams in the league at the moment. Simon Mignolet hasn’t disappointed yet in the goal keeping department while the defense is well covered by the lights of Kolo Toure, Daniel Agger, Martin Skrtel and Momadou Sahko. Jose Enrique and Glen Johnson provide both attacking and defending skills in the wing while the midfield is held by Steven Gerrard, Jordan Henderson and Lucas Lieva. Philippe Coutinho and Victor Moses add the creative spark while the goals are banged in by Suarez and Sturridge. What more could a manager ask for? And Gerrard deserves special praise for leading the team with his experience and making them a cohesive unit during the matches.
