Liverpool: 5 Reasons The Reds Can Win The Premier League Next Season
3. They Have A Growing Blend Of Top Quality British Players
One of the reasons that it is easy to like what Liverpool are doing is because they are at least utilizing British players. Of course, so many clubs have squads that hardly feature British players; its good to see that investing and bringing through domestic players seems to be very much part of the strategy. Im not one of those people that believes that an English team should be full of English players and nothing else. You have to keep in mind that a team like Liverpool is aiming for success, so they need to make sure that they are investing in the best foreign talent as well. I think one of the things that annoys some people is the fact that sometimes average foreign players are being signed ahead of good quality British players. Looking through the squad, there are plenty of Brits that have played a big part in their success this season like Steven Gerrard, Daniel Sturridge, Raheem Sterling, Jordan Henderson, Glen Johnson and Jon Flanagan; while others like Joe Allen, Andre Wisdom and Martin Kelly are around the squad as well.
