Tottenham Hotspur 1-2 Liverpool: 5 Talking Points, Premier League 2018-19

#5 Can Jurgen Klopp and Co. keep up the momentum?

This is not the first time in recent years when Liverpool have started well. They have always played an exciting brand of football under Jurgen Klopp. They have always had a ferocious attack under the German's tutelage. But they have always had several chinks in their armour in the last two seasons. Be it an inconsistent back four, a sloppy goalkeeper or sub-par quality in central midfield, there were a lot of "what ifs" associated with the Merseysiders in the past.

This summer, they spent big to fill all the gaping voids and seem to have done so efficiently. The midfielders are ably supporting both attack and defence, Van Dijk and Co. are maintaining shape at the back, Alisson is icy cool between the sticks, and the famed attacking trio is delivering. Nothing seems to be going wrong for the Reds at the moment.

Liverpool have won their opening five games of a top-flight season for the first time since the 1990/91 campaign.4-0 vs. West Ham0-2 vs. Crystal Palace1-0 vs. Brighton1-2 vs. Leicester1-2 vs. TottenhamThe perfect start continues. 🔝 pic.twitter.com/1oGXYszcpn

But we need to sit back and ask Jurgen Klopp's side the same question which did the rounds when Manchester City were running the league ragged last season. "Can they keep it up?"

Given the way things have panned out so far, they just might. Liverpool might have a slew of crunch fixtures in the coming months but there's so much that the team still has to offer. Fabinho is yet to make a start for Liverpool, the likes of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Dejan Lovren are still returning to full fitness. Most pundits would even argue that Firmino, Mane and Salah have more to offer up front.

Liverpool surely have a tough road ahead of them. But can they meet the expectations they have set early on in the season? Most definitely.
