'Liverpool remind me of Real Madrid' - Steve McManaman confident Jurgen Klopp's flawed but free-flowing entertainers can win the Premier League title
In a GOAL exclusive, Steve McManaman says Jurgen Klopp's side have a similar approach to the team he helped win two Champions League titles.
Liverpool concede too many goals. There's no depth in defence. The make-up of the midfield is still not right. Manchester City are still too strong. Steve McManaman is acutely aware of all of the arguments being made against the Reds challenging for the title — and he gets it.
When it comes to this free-scoring but defensively-flawed Liverpool line-up, he understands the uncertainty. He appreciates the apprehension among the fans. The resurgent Reds may be fourth in the Premier League ahead of Saturday's Merseyside derby against Everton, which is exclusively live on TNT Sports, but they've kept just one clean sheet so far this season.
And yet McManaman still believes Jurgen Klopp's men are capable of finishing top of the table. Why? Because they remind him of a special side that claimed two Champions Leagues and two Liga titles in three years at the turn of the century.
