Liverpool’s perfect start to the Premier League season has served only to increase the excitement and expectation surrounding Jurgen Klopp’s side.But is Reds boss Klopp right to strike a note of caution as he did after the win over Brighton & Hove Albion at the weekend?Dominic King, the North West Football Reporter for the Daily Mail, and guest on our latest Verdict podcast, thinks so.But that does not stop him from pouring praise on Alisson, Virgil van Dijk and the man he hails as the ‘perfect Jurgen Klopp player’.In a wide-ranging podcast, hosted by Paul Wheelock, Simon Mignolet’s situation is also debated, as is the form of Joe Gomez, who is now getting his rewards after ‘sacrificing’ himself at the end of last season.Dominic also gives his take on why Klopp’s current midfield trio have started the season so well and why the hype is justified when it comes to Naby Keita.The former ECHO scribe also reckons Tottenham Hotspur are the real deal after their thorough dismantling of Manchester United on Monday night.That in turn leads to a discussion about Liverpool’s rivals for the title, including Manchester United and their manager Jose Mourinho, who Dominic believes needs to look at himself when assessing the current gloomy mood at Old Trafford.Talk then turns to Liverpool’s front three and Sadio Mane’s contract before the podcast rounds off with a Champions League chat ahead of Thursday’s group-stage draw and why this Klopp team will and must win something.Enjoy.
