The Watford manager, Walter Mazzarri, after seeing his team getting beaten 6 – 1 said that Liverpool was the best team they have faced so far – a significant compliment given his side has already played Arsenal and Chelsea.
Three of Liverpool’s goals were slotted in before half time.They have scored 30 goals in their 11 games, which is more than any previous Liverpool side at this stage of a Premier League season
They have scored at least four in five of their fixtures so far.
This title chase is different from the ones in the recent past – which emerged from late surges in the second half of a season.Hope flickered briefly and then,as Steven Gerrard will remember,hope then slipped away.This one is different. Very different.
Wenger,Pep and Conte have a contender to deal with.
