Liverpool needs buy in from Mario Balotelli
Liverpool will look to continue its solid form when it travels to Southampton on Sunday for a surprisingly key Premier League matchup.
Since its last loss, on Dec. 14 against Manchester United, Liverpool has captured 21 points out of a possible 27, pulling the Reds to within four points of a coveted top four spot in the table.
Not only will the match see the return of Adam Lallana, Dejan Lovren and Rickie Lambert to St. Mary’s, but Southampton is currently sitting in fourth place, making Sunday’s match so enticing.
Liverpool has found its form thanks to manager Brendan Rodgers’ efforts to continually fine tune the lineup until finally hitting on a successful 3-4-3 formation. He also wasn’t afraid to put Jordon Ibe onto the pitch in key situations.
It’s taken time, but the club has finally started to more closely resemble last year’s squad that challenged for the league title.
