Robbie Savage has written in The Mirror that Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool may not finish in the Premier League top four this season, pointing out that clubs like Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal and Antonio Conte’s Tottenham Hotspur will give them stiff competition.
The former Derby County star and BBC 606 pundit believes that Liverpool could struggle to end up in the UEFA Champions League places in the Premier League table this season.
Jurgen Klopp’s side are struggling at the moment and suffered a heavy defeat to Atalanta in the UEFA Champions League this week.
Liverpool are seventh in the Premier League table at the moment with nine points from six matches.
Arsenal are at the top of the standings with 15 points from six games, while their bitter North London rivals Tottenham Hotspur are third with 14 points.
Robbie Savage’s warning to Liverpool about Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur
Savage wrote: “They played in every game they coudl last season, and now look lethargic other than 9-0 against Bournemouth. It’s a worry.
“When I say worry, the worry for Liverpool is staying in the top four. Man City will win it. Look at Arsenal, Chelsea refreshing, Spurs right in the mix, Man United winning their last four. Then you see Liverpool.
“I had them down for second in the league. Can we contemplate them really being outside the top four. It’s not a given. I hope they do because I love watching them in the Champions League but it will be tough.”
Need to get better
In our opinion, Liverpool need to step up their game and have to get back to their best.
A lot of the Liverpool players are struggling at the moment, and things need to change.
Soon.
For the better.
Now, we do not think that Liverpool are in massive danger of missing out on the top four.
After all, they have a very strong and competitive squad who gave Manchester City a run for their money last season.
However, there is no doubt that Liverpool’s results and performances in the Premier League need to get better.
