Joe Gómez has insisted that the Liverpool team will not get carried away despite their good start to the campaign.
Jurgen Klopp’s side are still competing on all four fronts this season and sit top of the Premier League ahead of tomorrow night’s League Cup semi-final clash against Fulham at Anfield.
Our number 2, who has been filling in at left back in recent weeks following injuries to Andy Robertson and Kostas Tsimikas, has been one of our standout players.
The London-born talent says he and his team-mates have a “desire” to each have something this season, admitting Klopp’s men learned a lot from last season’s struggles, which saw them lose a place among the top four for the second time with our German. tactical.
He said (quoted by Independent): “We don’t want to get dizzy. We are all full of desire and want to make the best of the season.

“All we can do is take it game by game. I know it’s a cliché, but there is desire and we have a platform to build on.
“We can’t take that for granted, as we know that last season wasn’t always easy and we went through difficult times, but we built from it and learned from it. So, we have to keep going like this and see where it takes us.”
Gomez is now Liverpool’s longest-serving player following the departure of Jordan Henderson in the summer.
The former Charlton player’s versatility has been vital since joining the club under Brendan Rodgers in 2015, playing in all positions of the back four.
The 26-year-old has won every major trophy possible since moving to Merseyside, but will be eager to add to his trophy collection this season as he searches for his first goal for the Reds.
As he currently plays the full-back role, the England international is further up the pitch, so it may only be a matter of time before he is on the scoresheet.
Let’s hope he can continue his excellent performances as we aim to correct many of last season’s mistakes!
