Tonight at 19:30, Liverpool will take on Watford away. Facing the team, which has just changed coaches, Uncle Scum said the Reds can only prepare for this Premier League match by watching the video of serie A side Sampdoria.
Watford have scored just seven points in seven Premier League games so far this season, which has led them to appoint Ranieri as the team's new manager during the International Break. It also means the Italian manager is back in the Premier League after almost two years in charge of Sampdoria.
"Ranieri is a great coach who has coached teams all over the world. He was very successful in coaching at the last club and he did a good job. I don't think he cares too much about his debut opponent, he's just busy preparing for the team and they're going to be ready. ”
"The way we prepared for this game is obviously a little different from the past. We chose to watch Sampdoria's game video instead of Watford's because Ranieri would have his own specific style of play. But the main message this game gave us was that we needed to focus on ourselves – because we didn't know what the opponent was doing. ”
Liverpool have gone unbeaten in 17 consecutive Premier League games across seasons (12 wins, 5 draws). At the same time, the Reds could also be England's first top-flight team to score at least three goals in seven consecutive away games in all competitions.
Liverpool have won the last four premier league appearances against teams that have made their debut coaches. They are: Pellegrini (West Ham United, 2018), Falke (Norwich, 2019), Pearson (Watford, 2019) and Bielsa (Leeds United, 2020).
Salah
Salah has scored in his last seven appearances for Liverpool in all competitions, and in his Pharaoh's career he has never scored eight consecutive games in Europe's top five leagues.
Mane has scored 99 goals in the Premier League so far. If he scores in this game, he will be the third African player to score 100 Premier League goals (the first two are Drogba and Salah).
Mane
At the same time, Mane could also become the third player to score more than 100 goals in the Premier League without any penalties – the first two being Les Ferdinand (149) and Emile Husky (110).
