DBasia.news – Garth Crooks, as a Premier League analyst, predicts Liverpool as the 2019-20 Premier League champions.
Liverpool proved themselves have a winning mentality against Aston Villa. Although it was left behind first, Liverpool finally won with a slim 1-2 advantage. Andrew Robertson and Sadio Mane acted as goal scorers.
Garth Crooks saw Liverpool was good at reading opponents’ weaknesses. The Reds deliberately drained the host’s energy before launching an attack at the end of the fight.
“I judge now it is increasingly clear (the possibility of Liverpool won the Premier League title). The victory of the Reds at the end of the game through Andrew Robertson’s goal is what can make you win the title,” said Crooks as reported by the BBC.
“I remember Liverpool was very dominant when I was playing before. They exhausted their opponents and carried out attacks in the final minutes. Now, they did the same thing 25 years ago.”
“Last week, I said Sadio Mane would carry out the task against Aston Villa. He has proven it and is everywhere,” Crooks explained.
According to Crooks, Mane’s greatness isn’t just in scoring goals. “He can defend. Mane can release accurate passes that penetrate the opponent’s defense to help his team-mates,” said Crooks.
Currently, Liverpool is top of the table with a six-point advantage over Manchester City. The distance between the two clubs could widen if the Reds could beat Man City in a duel this weekend.
