“Nine games, nine finals, I believe we can do it.”
Diogo Jota’s words after an immense victory at Arsenal were as direct as they were surprising…because no one at Liverpool rarely talks beyond the next game, never mind the end of the season. Yet if he has every right to express such belief - Jurgen Klopp’s team after all have won nine straight Premier League games to close the gap to Manchester City at the top from 14 to a single point - then there is a reason for it, beyond momentum and confidence.
Jota himself is very much part of that reason…one of five reasons, in fact. A truly formidable front five. Because if Liverpool can allow themselves to now start addressing the unthinkable - outgunning City on the title run-in - it will be because they can match the Champions in the single most crucial area.
