And if Jurgen Klopp has been playing the long game wꦰith Nunez, holding him back at times, it certainly looks to be paying off.

Liverpool now have severa🐎l players f🦩inding their best form at the same time.

Dominik Szoboszlai has been exceptional since arriving at the club, as has Alexis Mac Allister.

And although they’re not being tipped for a title run by the likes of A🔜lan Shearer and Gary Lineker, Liverpool must be confident of their chances.

Gakpo is back to fitness, Nunez is firing, and there’s 💜still plenty of other options in Liverpool’s f𒀰orward line.

Although they had their share of disappointments in the summer,ꦉ missing out on key targets, Liverpool are now benefiting from their strong planningﷺ.
