Liverpool legend fires warning shot to title rivals | OneFootball

With a fully fit squad available to choose from once again, Jurgen Klopp will be hoping to lead Liverpool to glory in the forthcoming season. And former Liverpool forward Robbie Fowler has reiterated the threat in which the Reds pose to the rest of the Premier League.

Robbie Fowler stated in his Sunday Mirror column, cited by the Echo: “After winning the Champions League and Premier League, the sight of Liverpool straining every sinew just to finish in the top four last season has led to suggestions that Jurgen Klopp might now be presiding over a spent force.

”And I think it is fair to say that the team that has shown so much resilience and togetherness under Klopp will ­indeed go into the new campaign ­needing to answer a number of ­questions.

“After all, Liverpool finished 17 points off top spot last season and were knocked out of Europe by a Real Madrid side that was hardly vintage.

“Virgil van Dijk is 30, Mo Salah, Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Xherdan Shaqiri are all 29, and – like Henderson, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Naby Keita and Fabinho – all are tied to deals that expire in the summer of 2023.

“But my warning to the rest of the ­Premier League is that you write off this Liverpool team at your peril.”

ANFIELD WATCH VERDICT

Liverpool head into the new campaign with plenty of doubters after last season, but they should welcome those pessimists; they should welcome the opportunity to prove the rest of the Premier League wrong, for Jurgen Klopp’s side can be a fore to be reckoned with at full strength.
