It was a dream run for the Reds, almost a perfect season. It still is, in many respects. Liverpool played all the available fixtures, a gruelling 63 games, to conquer the never-before achieved quadruple in the
2021-22 season. They could not manage the unprecedented feat, it was too much to ask from them anyways.
Jurgen Klopp’s side went nip and tuck with Manchester City throughout the season only to falter at the end and lose the Premier League by just a single point. Yes, there was a ton of ‘Matchday 38 drama’ in deciding the league winners. This was followed by a heartbreaking 1-0 loss to Real Madrid in Paris as Vinicius Jr denied them the Champions League trophy. Thus, they were left with only the two penalty
shoot-out triumphs against Chelsea in the Carabao and FA Cup finals to show for their efforts.
Since then, there has been a marquee departure, a new arrival in the frontline expected to fill the void left by the departed marquee and a long-awaited contract signed. Coming into the season with new recruits
and the same old passion, there won’t be any surprises if the team from Merseyside is eyeing the quadruple.
Let’s keep the talks of multiple trophies aside and lay our attention on the Premier League. Having drawn the first 2 games of the season so far, it might be far-fetched to think they will win the league outright. But here are three reasons why it is more feasible than we think it could be.
1. Inception of Luis Diaz
We already saw what the flamboyant winger from Colombia could do in the latter half of the last season. He looked right at home from the word go, settled in with his new teammates and adjusted to the Premier League like a fish to water. He scored 4 goals and assisted 3 in the 13 appearances he made last season.
When you look at Diaz running at defenders doing stepovers and feinting shoulders, you can catch a glimpse of a young Cristiano Ronaldo in the United team of the 2000s.
