A team can be lost under the weight of expectation…
When Tottenham made their record breaking spending spree it was said in the media that they had the ability within their squad to win the Premier League.
Liverpool fans were pleasantly surprised by their impressive showing in last season’s top flight, which saw them narrowly miss out on a maiden Premier League title. The Red’s players are unlikely to be afforded such luxury’s this coming season, and will instead be dealing with a weight of expectation around Anfield, with fans demanding an impressive showing both domestically, and in European competition following their return to Champions League football. Liverpool’s young side crumbled somewhat at the end of last season, when Steven Gerrard’s slip against Chelsea and their second-half collapse at Crystal Palace handed Manchester City the title. They will need to do better this time around.
