4 Talking Points as Liverpool demolish Napoli 5-0

Liverpool v S.S.C Napoli - Pre Season Friendly
Liverpool continue to impress with another blowout win

#3 Liverpool's scary squad depth

Liverpool v S.S.C Napoli - Pre Season Friendly

Liverpool had a lethal first XI last season but their depth was an issue. With arrivals of Fabinho, Keita and Shaqiri, Liverpool finally have a squad that can make a title run. Today's match against Napoli was just a reassurance.

Liverpool were criticized for relying heavily on Salah's goal-scoring prowess last season but things look different this time around if the preseason games are to be considered as an indicator.

Of course Salah scored today, but the other 4 Liverpool goal scorers were not the usual members of the goal scorers list. Milner opened the scoring and then set up Wijnaldum for the second goal of the half. Salah scored in the second half and in the 60th minute, Liverpool introduced Solanke, Sturridge and Moreno.

Solanke and Sturridge combined really well before Sturridge scored a goal and then set up a goal for Moreno with a beautiful cross field long ball and Moreno responded with a cracker of a goal by smashing one into the roof of the net - clearly the goal of the match.
