Danny Murphy is definitely a glass half-full kind of guy - at least when it comes to Liverpool this season. The manner of Sunday's 2-2 draw at Brighton may have been disappointing to some supporters, with the Merseysiders effectively gifting their hosts two goals, including a very soft equaliser from a set-piece with just over 10 minutes remaining.
However, former Liverpool midfielder Murphy was unequivocal in his assessment afterwards: the resurgent Reds can win the Premier League this season. "For those of you who doubted Jurgen Klopp and this Liverpool team, although they drew, they are in this title race," Murphy told 'Match of the Day 2'. "Second half, they should have had the game won.
"[There are] lots of positives: midfielders coming in and hitting the ground running, [Alexis] Mac Allister and [Dominik] Szoboszlai; the forward players are nice and competitive at the top of the pitch, meaning everyone is trying to keep each other out of the team."
