LFC is no longer a side that can be classified as the “new kid on the block”. In its second go round back in the top-flight, the Reds are not gunning for a top-seven finish. Beard’s team wants more. With a triumph away at Arsenal to kick off the season, it is impractical to take this club as one that cannot compete for a top-five league finish.
