Liverpool’s Improvement in the First 10 Games of the 2023/24 Premier League Season
Liverpool have made a marked improvement in the first 10 games of the 2023/24 Premier League season compared to the same stage last season. Over the summer, the Reds injected fresh legs into midfield and a new team spirit emerged as part of Jurgen Klopp’s next squad evolution. The feeling is night and day from last season, where there is now optimism and realistic targets, while previously there was missteps and a failure to address obvious needs.
At the 10-game mark of 2022/23, Liverpool had 16 points, were in 7th place, had a 4-4-2 record, scored 22 goals and conceded 12. This season, they have 23 points, are in 4th place, have a 7-2-1 record, have scored 23 goals and conceded 9.
The Reds have taken maximum points at Anfield so far and have scored an average of 2.3 goals per game – only Man City, Arsenal and Newcastle (+15) have a better goal difference. They have lost just one match since the start of April and have shown that they have turned over a new page and can challenge at the top.
Klopp’s Impact
Klopp has been instrumental in Liverpool’s improvement this season. He has instilled a new team spirit and optimism in his squad, and they have responded by playing some of their best football in recent memory. The manager recently said “I think it’s really easy to fall in love with this team,” and it is clear to see why.
The Reds are now only three points adrift of those at the top of the table, and they need to maintain their upward trajectory to ensure they remain within punching distance. If they can do that, then they will be in a strong position to challenge for the title come the end of the season.
