Liverpool fullback Glen Johnson has stated that his side are the “neutral’s choice to win the Premier League”.
The Reds are in contention for their first ever Premier League crown following a superb 6-3 win at Cardiff City on Saturday.
Liverpool are now just four points behind Chelsea going into their home game against Sunderland in the mid-week.
The defender stated…
“Just to spice things up the neutrals would want to see us win it,” Johnson said. “Nobody wants the same teams to be winning it over and over again. I guess the neutrals will be packing a punch for us. We must be good to watch.
“People watch football to enjoy themselves, see goals and see exciting football, and I think we do provide that. I think people will be rooting for us because it will be something different.
“I’m not that surprised by how we’re playing. Even last season we were battering teams but not getting the goals. At the moment we are playing well and getting the goals. It’s a case of staying calm and keeping it going.”
Johnson went onto say that he was impressed with his sides character during the win in South Wales.
“Over the years this type of game has been the most difficult we have had, after a big win,” added Johnson.
“Everyone at the club was so high last week after beating Man United and it could have been difficult to raise ourselves to the same heights, playing a game that we were expected to win.
“It showed our character. Those three points were just as important as the ones at United.”
