Between August 2018 and February 2020, Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool played 65 Premier League games.
They lost just ONE - away to Pep Guardiola's Man City - and won 56, as well as winning the Champions League in that time.
That is utterly absurd.
If we can get a 30 goal season from a player the first season after Salah leaves, would be unbelievable tbh.

Top of the expected points table, you'll never sing that
I think in the last 15 years, Suarez is the only player I can think whose base level of performance was as good as Virg’s, but Virg has been doing it for nearly a decade straight.

Am surprised by the discourse. Yesterday weirdly vindicates Liverpool and the strategy.
- Have four elite attackers on the pitch.
- Have two of them do good things consecutively.
- Slog your guts out and be sensible otherwise.
- Win difficult away game.
I’m guessing it’s unavoidable because of the size of their stadium?
📸😮💨 Is it just me or is this Bournemouth camera angle making the game impossible to watch?
Can’t tell who is passing to who or where the space even is.
Absolute headache vision
It honestly feels like you’re watching a Sunday league match from a touchline step-ladder. The angle is so flat and zoomed-in that you get zero depth perception.
You can’t see the off-the-ball runs, player spacing, or tactical shapes, which makes it nearly impossible to figure out what the players are doing
I wish people would also stop confusing a completely unbalanced squad with one that doesn’t possess enough quality. It’s a top 3 squad in the league in terms of quality but it might be a bottom 3 in terms of balance.
Jamie Carragher on Andoni Iraola:
“I think now he’s in at Liverpool and he’s had his pre-season. He’s now had seven or eight games with Liverpool, including the cup games. I think when he looks at the make-up of the squad and what he’s got, privately, when he’s talking to his staff over the next few weeks, they’re probably thinking there would be more quality in the building. ‘I thought this would be a lot easier.’
“That’s because of the nature of the opposition as well. Liverpool haven’t really played a giant yet. That’s going to come in the next few weeks.
“What he will be really pleased with is three clean sheets in a row. I said during the game today that Jacquet is an improvement on Konaté. Right now, with the attacking talent they have and three £100m players on the pitch, it’s still not firing. When that’s not firing, you have to make sure the back door stays closed.”

xPts after GW5. Liverpool top it on merit. Bournemouth should be furious.
ALT Premier League expected points table after gameweek 5, ordered by xPts. Liverpool lead on expected points with 10.2. The first column gives each team's real league position, the second where expected points put them, with a teal up arrow for a climb and a red down arrow for a drop; Manchester United climb the most, up 8 places. Delta column shows xPts minus actual points.
