Liverpool Premier League title will banish negativity: Fowler

Liverpool produced arguably their worst display of the season in losing 2-1 to Newcastle United in the League Cup final, days after bowing out of the CL to PSG on penalties.

Former Liverpool striker Robbie Fowler does not buy in to that school of thought, however, and says a record-equalling 20th English title will quench the fans’ thirst for silverware.

“I’d vote any Liverpool fan down at the start of the season and said, ‘look, you can do well in the Champions League, you’ll be top of the group, you can get to final, but you’re going to win the Premier League’, what would you say?

“I think the obvious answer is you want to win the Premier League because a lot of the fans missed out the last time because of COVID and no fans were in the stadium.

“So I think this one will be extra special. I think the specialness of this will probably override anything that has been negative throughout the season.”
