Liverpool’s attacking prowess won’t come as a surprise to many fans given the quality Jurgen Klopp has at his disposal when it comes to forwards.
The statistics do, however, recognise how big a threat we are to the rest of the league and how good a chance this group of players has of enjoying a successful year, providing they don’t drop off.
Klopp has implemented a very obvious, intense attacking style of play for all to see. It just comes down to who can stop it.
If this team can continue this form and earn a clean-sheet every once in a while, then we could be onto something.
Let’s enjoy all these goals for now, though.
