Despite Liverpool‘s record-breaking start to the new campaign, former Everton boss David Moyes is of the opinion that Liverpool’s current side is simply not good enough to win the Premier League title.
All three goals came in the first half of the game from Xherdan Shaqiri, Joel Matip and Mohamed Salah, who scored a drought-ending shot, reducing the Saints to a deserved defeat.
Benitez’s Liverpool boasted of players like Steven Gerrard, Fernando Torres, Javier Mascherano and Xabi Alonso, putting up a challenge for the domestic title before eventually falling short.
“I think they’ve got a really good team, but you look back at teams over the years at Liverpool and they had great teams, when it was Alonso, Mascherano, Gerrard and Torres up front.
“When you play as well as he did and create goals, you’re hoping to boost their confidence.

aa ron@pibaronnot being as good as 2008 group doesnt mean they wont win #PremierLeague . #david #moyes‘s attempt at logic was idiotic. and for the record, 2018 group is better. and finally, anything that man says about football is automatically wrong.
