Can Liverpool pull a surprise this season?

Liverpool yesterday beat West Ham by 3 goals to 0 in their first Premier League game of the season.

With a new coach at the dugout, West Ham could not match the strength of the Merseyside club.
Naby Keita’s addition to the Liverpool midfield seems to have been a good signing for the 18-times English Champions.
With Fabinho on the bench, Keita, Milner and Wiljanadum had no problem as they outshine the Hammers in midfield.
With their unstoppable trio still leading the attack, West Ham spent more time defending than attacking Liverpool.
Last season’s PFL Player of the year and Golden Boot winner, Mo Salah tapped in the first goal from Robertson’s low cross in the 19th minute.
Mane, in his new jersey, added two more before Sturridge came on in the second half and scored from his first touch in the 45th and 53rd minute.

But can the 5 times UEFA Champions League be a major contender for the one trophy that has eluded them since 1990?

Last season, Liverpool although had the best attack in the league, their midfield and defence isn’t something to write home about.
With their efficacious attack, the Liverpool seem to have transferred their effervescent form from pre-season into the league.
With wins against arch-rivals Manchester United and an impressive performance against Manchester City and Napoli, it seems Klopp has finally found the solution to the problem that has always been his side non-title contenders.

Unlike last season where they had a poor bench, Klopp has now got the perfect backup to his first eleven. Klopp now has an array of players who can start in other teams as compared to last season.
Well, it is clear it is too early to make predictions as we now have 37 matches to go especially after impressive performances from Manchester City, Manchester United, Tottenham and Chelsea; but if compared to last season then there is hope in this new Liverpool side. Since the English Premier League always has lots and lots of surprises, we will have to wait for May 2019.
