‘Liverpool blew their title chance’ – Diouf doubts Reds will be as good in 2019-20

A man who once turned out at Anfield is a big fan of Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane, but cannot see Premier League glory being delivered this season

Liverpool “missed the chance to win the title last season”, says El Hadji Diouf, with a former Reds star not expecting Jurgen Klopp’s side to challenge again in 2019-20.

After 29 years of waiting, those at Anfield came agonisingly close to landing an elusive top-flight crown in 2018-19.

Klopp’s men suffered just one league defeat all season, but that setback came at the hands of Manchester City and the Blues eventually scraped over the line by a solitary point.
