Liverpool 2-0 Chelsea: 5 Talking Points and Tactical Analysis 

#1 Could this finally be Liverpool’s year?

Can Klopp lead Liverpool to the title they crave?

The last time Liverpool won the English top-flight title, the Premier League hadn’t been born. Thus, one can understand the restless wait the Merseysiders have had to endure over the years.

However, in the 2018-19 season, there has been genuine enthusiasm at Anfield that this year could be their year. And the performance against Chelsea only fuelled that fire.

The victory took the Reds back to the top of the table, albeit having played a match more. However, one mustn’t forget that the game City has in hand is against a certain Manchester United. Thus, the title is anything but a foregone conclusion at the moment.

At times this term, Liverpool has huffed and puffed. Their struggles during January and February a case in point. Yet, they have always found an extra gear when most needed. After all, that is what champions do: win when things aren’t going your way.

Liverpool has endured countless heartbreaks in the Premier League over the years. However, the current season just has a different feel to it. Maybe, just maybe it could be Liverpool’s year.

Yet, the Reds, of all teams, know that four games are ample time for things to turn sour (2014). But, one thing is for sure: Liverpool certainly won’t get a better chance to quench their thirst for the elusive Premier League crown.
