Liverpool likened to a pack of Revels

Liverpool have been compared to a pack of Revels by Dominic King on the Sunday Supplement, due to their inconsistency with performances.

The Reds comfortably dispatched of West Ham on Saturday, winning the game 4-1. They have shown glimpses of brilliance all season long, and often have seen results swing their way after a fine performance.

However, that is not always the case. Often Liverpool have been well below par in games, and their fixtures against the likes of Spurs and Manchester City this season show that.

And the Daily Mail reporter Dominic King says you never know what you will get from Klopp’s team, likening them to a pack of Revels chocolate.

“They’re a bit like a bag of Revels, you don’t know what you’re going to get; sometimes the coffee one – like the performances at Manchester City and Tottenham away,” King said on Sunday Supplement:

“I think the difference on Saturday was they had Mane back, and Salah and Firmino, and when he’s got those three players, they’ll beat any of the teams below them, no problem. They’re going to score lots of goals.

“I don’t need to spell it out, everybody knows it, the defence is not as good as it should be, they’ve got deficiencies. Klopp disputes it; he has tremendous faith and loyalty in the players that are there, and tremendous faith in his own ability to make them improve.”

King also gave his views on manager Jurgen Klopp, who has often seen his ability to manage in the Premier League questioned.

“The affection is there, he’s a really popular manager, you never hear people moaning about him.

“We never hear stories coming away from him.

“He has this sort of relationship with them where he’s their friend, but not their best friend.

“He doesn’t understand the knee-jerk way, or how emotional the people can get here in terms of talking about Liverpool, in terms of the mistakes that we’ve been seeing over the last three or four years. He is adamant he can make them improve.

“He wants that maximum concentration; because he knows people will pick up on the slightest failing in defence. He wants a sequence of games where they only concede a handful of goals.”
