Jamie Redknapp believes Liverpool are purring at the moment

Former Liverpool midfielder Jamie Redknapp believes Liverpool are “purring” at the moment.

The Reds defeated Bournemouth 4-0 at the Goldsands Stadium yesterday to go top of the Premier League table.

The victory also ensured Liverpool are the only side in the league that remain unbeaten after 16 games, and Redknapp is adamant the Reds have what it takes to keep the pace for the entirety of the season.

Redknapp also went on to say that Mohamed Salah’s performance against the Cherries highlighted why playing him in a central position can prove beneficial, as the Egyptian scored a hat-trick.

“They’re purring right now, and if they can get through on Tuesday [in the Champions League against Napoli], keep going in the Premier League, they can hang onto Man City’s coat-tails,” Redknapp told Sky Sports.

READ: Jurgen Klopp delighted with Liverpool’s defensive efforts at Bournemouth 

“Virgil van Dijk can wear his kit on Tuesday night, it was that clean. Liverpool never got out of second gear, it was so comfortable in possession. When you’ve got a player like Salah, he can take a game away from any team.

“There’s been questions over where his best position is. Do you play him down the middle or do you play him our wide? I think today you saw the real benefits of playing him in a central position.

“The problems he causes defenders, running on the shoulder, the third goal epitomised that. I thought Liverpool were very comfortable and it shows the strength of the squad they have.”
