Scholes: “This is a Proper Squad of Players”
The Reds are undeniable.
The praise has been effusive for Liverpool FC after their 3-0 domination of Manchester United at Old Trafford over the weekend. One person who was on hand to witness the game in person was Manchester United legend Paul Scholes, who had this to say about Liverpool on the Premier League’s international broadcast:
“When you see the squad, the first XI was brilliant, that’s probably their easiest game out of the three they have had.”
“Then we saw the subs warm up and go past us, I thought. ‘Wow, this is a proper squad of players’. I think he (Slot) has been quite fortunate to walk into that. Of course, he has to put his own stamp on it and I am sure he will do as we have seen in the first three games.
“They look defensively better, although, they did concede a couple of chances – we talk about the six forwards they have got. They also have five brilliant midfield players. You think of Curtis Jones, who isn’t here today. Harvey Elliott, who can come into that. I think he really likes them three (Gravenberch, Mac Allister and Szoboszlai). He didn’t change them three. It was all the forwards. The right-back or the left-back. There is a real dominance about that Liverpool squad. They could really challenge for that title this year.”
Of course, we’re going to look way more impressive compared to that other team that took the field on Sunday, but it does look like the rest of the league is waking up to what Arne Slot and his tricky Reds are cooking.
