Liverpool legends David James and Robbie Fowler are still upbeat about the club’s chances of defending their English Premier League (EPL) title despite their woeful start to the season. The duo believe Arne Slot’s men can draw inspiration from the legendary second-half comeback Liverpool stirred up against AC Milan in the 2004-05 UEFA Champions League (UCL) final at Istanbul, which they won 6-5 on penalties after trailing 0-3 at half-time.

‘It will all click for them’

The Reds are currently 8th in the league table (21 points), having lost six of their 13 matches so far. They trail table-toppers Arsenal by eight points at the time of writing this, but James insists it’s ain’t over until the fat lady sings. “Liverpool will have that one game, where it all clicks for them, and then they’ll be set to carry that on for the rest of the season get into a position where they can contend for the title. We saw they went unbeaten for 24 games last season, so they are capable of doing that. If you recall [the 2005 UCL final], Milan were 3-0 up at half-time and were favourites to win the title, but then look at what happened,” James, who played for Liverpool between 1992-1999, told mid-day during an interaction at a city hotel on Sunday.
