Ex-players and pundits used to rave about Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool team, do they think his updated squad can compete at the very top?
Over the course of three years, Jurgen Klopp won every major title available as the manager of Liverpool.
They were not the only names linked with Liverpool, as both Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia opted to sign for Chelsea. Those individual sagas spread doubts among pundits as they assessed the Reds' likelihood of fighting for first place once again.READ MORE: Jurgen Klopp 'shocked' Liverpool starlet who couldn't believe what Sadio Mane did at AXA Training Centre"I think Liverpool will be in the top four," the former Reds No.
"Under the owners the club [Manchester United] has had, I think they’ll probably still finish in the top four, but I don’t think they’ll improve on it,” he said. "If they got new owners and had £250m or £300m to spend, they’ve got a chance of going up to second. I do think they’ve got a chance of taking that spot off Arsenal – that’s up for grabs – but they’d have to spend well.
"They've let Milner, Henderson, and Fabinho go before they've got someone in, which what I thought Liverpool were quite smart at is bringing the people in before they expose themselves."Perhaps with the benefit of hindsight the ex-Manchester United midfielder may reassess his thoughts on the Reds, who have taken 10 points from a possible 12 so far.
He told Premier League Productions: "If you are going to play with that inverted full-back, then I am not sure Joe Gomez or Joel Matip is the guy. "I feel that Liverpool should have got a real top-end defender - someone like Josko Gvardiol. He was out there. You should try to go in."Gary Lineker hasa backed Liverpool to challenge for the Premier League title this season, tipping Trent Alexander-Arnold to be a key player in their new side.
