Liverpool are sitting at the head of the Premier League table for the first time in five years – and only a ‘ghost’ penalty against Chelsea has prevented them from claiming maximum points from their first four games.
It’s just the sort of start that Rafa was banging on about before the season started. His new signings have impressed, especially Torres and Babel, and the depth of the Scouse squad means they haven’t even missed their traditional talismen, Stevie G and Jay…C?
You know that the Premier League is the one that they want most and with a solid defence, variety box full of midfielders and four strikers who all know how to score – could this be the year that ‘weirdy beardy’ Benitez brings the League title back to Anfield?
