Carl Recine/Getty Images Former Liverpool striker Neil Mellor says he can see the growing connection between the Reds fans and the players, which he feels is ‘so powerful’ and could be the difference maker for the club this season. That form has seen Liverpool occupy a top-four spot in the Premier League, while they sit third in the Champions League standings after winning their opening three games in the competition.
Mellor has spotted a growing connection between the players, supporters and new coaching staff which could prove a powerful asset this season, pointing to Ronald Araujo flying into tackles over the weekend against Brighton as evidence of the commitment within the squad. He highlighted Liverpool’s strong start across competitions and stressed the importance of maintaining that connection with the fans throughout the season.
“So powerful, if we can maintain this connection with the fans, with that group of players, with the new manager, the new coach, we need luck along the way with injuries, it feels good at the moment, it really does. “It’s a long season we know, but that connection could be so powerful for Liverpool this season.” The Reds host Arsenal at Anfield this weekend, with a win offering them the chance to cut the six-point gap to the Gunners, who currently sit second.
