Liverpool v Chelsea - Carabao Cup Third Round

#1 Klopp is onto something this season

Liverpool have started the season very well and are second in the league right now. They have now won 6 of their 7 games in the Premier League, scoring 15 goals and conceding only 15. They are still unbeaten in the league and might be the perfect team to stop Guardiola and City this season. All of this boils down to the man in charge.

Jurgen Klopp has been given time at Anfield and he looks like he has finally built a team that will be competing for the title and might even win their first ever Premier League trophy. He has inspired his team and his players to play beautiful, pressing game and he has given them the freedom, the confidence to get even better. The players look hungrier, they are nurturing a winning attitude and they are playing exciting, attractive football.

Against Chelsea, Liverpool’s pressing and dominance on the ball so was impressive, it was hard to believe they were playing at Stamford Bridge. They were relentless and fought on till the last minute. It is a testament to Klopp’s efforts that his team managed to come back into the team and it was his brilliant substitution that changed the game. Sturridge was brought on in place of Milner, with Klopp daring to take off a defensive player to go all out in attack and his belief in his player and his style of play was finally rewarded.

Klopp finally has something good going at Anfield!
