Liverpool have a “level of smugness” about them which is “wonderful to watch”, says former goalkeeper David James.
The Reds’ impressive 6-3 win away to Tottenham on Sunday saw Arne Slot’s side move four points clear at the top of the table with a game in hand.
It also continued the incredible record of the new Liverpool boss having only lost once since taking charge of the club in the summer.
Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast, James said: “There is a side to this Liverpool team and Arne Slot and everyone, they don’t seem to mind other teams playing well against them at some point during the game, i.e scoring goals and Tottenham scored three goals.
“If you had said to someone you are going to go to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and concede three goals, how do you feel? Well you would say ‘we will probably score four, we might even score six’. It’s a level of smugness, which I say in the fondest way, that no one else in the league has this year and it’s wonderful to watch.”
Ex-Tottenham defender Stephen Kelly also praised the Reds for their season so far and added: “I think it is a foot race between Liverpool and Liverpool. I don’t think anyone catches them.
“They are just so decisive and so cutting in games in moments when they need to be. If they had some key injuries to key players then that could change things obviously with the run-in left but you just look at them and think ‘this team are unstoppable at the moment’.
“I can’t see anyone getting to the level to really pose a threat.”
