Time For Another Win At Anfield

Wins at Anfield usually have decades in between them rather than months, but this weekend Saints will never have a better chance to make it two out of three wins against Liverpool in their once fortress.

Anfield has never been a happy hunting ground for Saints, on average we win their about once every 10 -12 years, but we go their this weekend with Liverpool at their lowest ebb in my lifetime and that could be good news for Saints.

In one respect it will be hard because it will be Jorgen Kopp's first Premier League match at home and the emotional aspect should not be discounted, but Kopp knows he has problems, not just with injury with key players out, but in terms of the make up of his squad.

He will of course start to address those in the January transfer window and when those injured return, some a lot later than sooner, but he is not a miracle worker and the reality is that at present this is the worst Liverpool squad in 50 years or more.

So Saints have a great chance to go there and take the game to them and win, at Spurs Liverpool (and spurs for that matter) were woeful and showed that defensively they are very fragile, we need to expose this and with the pace we have in our side we have every opportunity.

Perhaps our chances could be best illustrated by the contrast in the players in each squad, how many Liverpool players would get in our first team at the moment ? I'm hard pressed to think of ore than a couple and of them Nathaniel Coyne does not seem to be the player that he was last season.

In time I think Jorgen Klopp will restore Liverpool to former glory, but in the meantime we should go there with confidence as we did at Chelsea, this could be a season where the status quo changes in terms of the big clubs, it might only be brief so we should take our chance when we have it.
