Liverpool better than anyone else, says Rush
The Merseyside club have also been ruthless in front of goal and scored 24 goals so far. Liverpool legend Ian Rush believes that the Reds are currently the best football team in the England and are worthy title contenders.
“We always look like we are going to score, and that’s exciting,” told the Welshman speaking to TODAY at Suntec City during the LFC World exhibition.
“It’s not going to be easy, but I am looking forward to it. I think at the moment we are playing better than anyone; there’s no reason we can’t do that.
“I think come around Christmas, if they are still in the same position then, yeah, probably.”
Rush is impressed with Klopp
Rush, who is the club's all-time top goalscorer and now works as an ambassador for the club, firmly believes that Jurgen Klopp’s tactics have helped Liverpool become better than they were last season.
“I’ve been very impressed,” said Rush about the German manager. “He’s been fantastic, he’s got the players playing well. I think all we are looking at is to try and keep it tight at the back, now that we are scoring goals, he knows what the problem is and he’s addressing that at the moment.”
“People do get injured and it gives them an extra few days to get fit for the league games; we have to use it to our advantage.”
