The former great player of Liverpool John Barnes doesn’t believe that his team are title contenders this season.
After the draw against West Bromwich, Liverpool are ninth in the BPL table, however Barnes says that a good off-season could change all that.
In his interview to the Mirror Barnes said: “Although they can challenge for a top-four finish this season, they are not necessarily going to sign the best players in the world in January. In the short term, he may have to bring in players he knows well, and who can respond quickly to what he wants. They are not title contenders yet, and I’m still not getting carried away just because Jurgen Klopp is here, but there is a positive vibe and unity around the club again.Realistically, fourth place is possibly within our grasp and then, depending on who he signs in the summer, he can think about making a major push for the title.”
The player stressed that while he is a fan of Klopp, he was sad to see Brendan Rodgers go.
“I was a supporter of Brendan Rodgers, and I was sad the way it ended for him, but I am also a supporter of Kopp and the vitality that comes with him,” Barnes added.
