\n\t\tLiverpool players celebrate scoring on their pre-season tour of the United States.\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Boss Jurgen Klopp has added Naby Keita<\/a>, Fabinho<\/a>, Alisson<\/a>, and Xherdan Shaqiri<\/a> to his group, which is already chock full of talent.<\/p>\n

And Barton, now manager of Fleetwood Town<\/a>, a life-long Toffees fan believes their Merseyside rivals could be on the cusp of something very special at Anfield.<\/p>\n

He told talkSPORT: \u201cWhen we look across Stanley Park, no matter what any of us say, and see the big German [Jurgen Klopp], the style they\u2019re playing, and the way they have invested again \u2013 it\u2019s nervous times for Evertonians.<\/p>\n
