Liverpool face Ajax in the Champions League tonight in desperate need of three points after such a poor performance in their first group game.
The Reds were thrashed 4-1 by Napoli last week, one of their worst performances in the Jurgen Klopp era, and the manager will no doubt be looking for a big answer today.
Liverpool fans will be intrigued to hear that Fabrizio Romano still values this Ajax team highly, even after a difficult summer in which their manager Erik ten Hag left and subsequently signed star players Lisandro Martinez and Antony to join him. his new club, Manchester United.
Still, Romano, writing in his exclusive CaughtOffside column, has warned Liverpool about new Ajax star Kenneth Taylor, who is running the show in midfield for the Dutch giants at the moment.
“Ajax’s numbers so far have been excellent and I think it’s in the DNA of the club to be able to restart after the sales of some of the best players. Alfred Schreuder is doing a very good job,” said Romano.
“The danger for Liverpool is in the quality and speed of the midfield where Kenneth Taylor is the new star. But the Reds must and can react.”

Liverpool have not had the best start to the season, and it is clear that Ajax will not be easy to convince, even if they are not the same team as last season.
Taylor seems to be someone to watch tonight as midfield is certainly an area of weakness for LFC so far this term.
