In the 2008-09 season, Liverpool were led by a wise referee on the pitch from Steven Gerrard, who had the right midfield support from Argentine Javier Mascherano and Spain's Xabi Alonso. The attacking line was one of the strongest points in the team with Spanish Fernando Torres, Veteran Robbie Keane.

In the defense, star James Lee Duncan Carragher and Finland's Sami Hyypia were also present. Spanish right back Alvaro Arbeloa also emerged, while goalkeeper Napoli Pepe Reina was the goalkeeper.

There are many similarities between Liverpool's 2009 and Liverpool's strengths this year. The attacking line is the team's best line now, with the trio Mohammed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino, scoring 58 goals in all competitions so far.

Midfielders Emery Kahn, Jordan Henderson and Georginio Wijnaldum share the same roles. The difference lies in the lack of a player who can make an effective contribution to the front trio, as Gerrard did in the past, especially after the departure of the Brazilian.

The difference is clearly visible and tends to be superior to the 2008-2009 squad. Liverpool have a stable goal in the presence of Pepe Reina, reversing the current period in which Simon Mignolet and Lauris Carrios are on target defense without offering the desired level of the German coach.

In addition to this, Liverpool's low level is the same as in the past. The Raiders' back line has been tough since James Lee Duncan Carragher's retirement, and Klopp hopes that the situation will change as Dutchman Virgil Van Dijk has time to get in touch with his new teammates. Source

Liverpool have a tough opponent in the final price of the season, but if they can get through, everything will happen, and we may see the red team on the podium if the technical staff and players handle the technical problems they have experienced before.
