Former Manchester United boss David Moyes has does not believe Liverpool can win the league this season, despite Jurgen Klopp’s side winning their opening six games in the Premier League and defeating PSG in the Champions League.
The out-of-work gaffer, whose last job was at West Ham as he kept them in the Premier League last season, was on Goals On Sunday on Sky this weekend. When he was asked whether Liverpool could win the league he answered:
"No, I don't think so. I think they've got a really good team, but you look back at teams over the years at Liverpool and they had great teams, when it was Alonso, Mascherano, Gerrard and Torres up front.
"This is a good Liverpool team as well - I don't know if it's quite as good as that team at that time. They're playing a good style, with forward players who are exceptional, and because of that I think they're a real threat."
Liverpool cruised past Southampton at Anfield this weekend with a 3-0 win with goals from Joel Matip, Mo Salah and an own goal. Klopp’s side are playing with attacking fluidity and Xherdan Shaqiri gave them another attacking option in midfield.
There was some surprise when the Swiss ace was taken off at half-time after an impressive first half display, but Moyes believes he is likely to play a big part in other competitions.
Moyes said: "When you play as well as he did and create goals, you're hoping to boost their confidence.
"But I think Liverpool have got a big programme coming up, I'm sure Shaqiri will play a big part in it, and maybe the manager was thinking a bit further afield than this game."
Thoughts, Reds?🤔
