Brentford head coach Thomas Frank has rated Liverpool as the best side in the world and not just the Premier League. Frank also labeled the Reds as the hot favorites to clinch the Premier League title in the ongoing season after Arne Slot’s team registered a 2-0 win against Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday.
When it seemed that the match would end in a stalemate, substitute Darwin Nunez scored a brace in stoppage time to give all three points to his team.
Liverpool is currently at the top of the standings after 15 wins, five draws, and one loss in 21 games and thus have 50 points under their bag.
“We just played City and Arsenal and now Liverpool, in a short amount of time,” the Brentford boss told the BBC after the game. “For me they’re a level above the two teams. They’re complete.
“Their work ethic, the way they track back, are good indicators. They’re so good all over the pitch. Such a threat going forward. These are really, really good. It’s the best team in the Premier League and the world. They’re huge favourites to win it [the title].”
Reflecting on his own team’s performance on Saturday afternoon, Frank added: “I thought we played a really good game against the best team in the world right now. We did a lot of things right. We defended very well. We gave the opportunities away but not too big.
“We probably lacked the final cutting edge. We had some good chances and opportunities that never became opportunities because of the last pass or touch. Their centre-backs were exceptionally good.”
Liverpool will look to continue their good form in the upcoming matches. The Reds will next take on LOSC in the Champions League at the Anfield on Tuesday.
