Former Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers believes the team are very close to the Premier League title this season as the Reds have looked superior than most of the teams so far this season with impressive attacking football under Jurgen Klopp.
When asked how close his former side are to winning the title, Rodgers said: “Very close, very close.
“I think that it’s just unfortunate the other day [in the 4-3 defeat at Bournemouth]. I thought they were excellent in the first half.
“You get to 3-1 — I’ve had similar games there myself when we looked like we were in control and then you lose them.
“The players that were there when I was there have got greater experience now — [Philippe] Coutinho, Jordan Henderson, Lucas Leiva. These are guys that have been through it.
“Obviously they’ve got one game a week, they can really focus on that, and I think for me they will be very, very close.
“As I’ve said, he’s done great Jurgen, he’s got them really working, got them focused and they’ve got big quality in the squad so I’m sure they’ll be in with a great chance.”
