The champions elect turned an Anfield scare into a message of intent, showing the mark of champions with a glittering end game display Liverpool 3-2 West Ham
Liverpool have been good this season. Actually, Jurgen Klopp’s side have been phenomenal.
They were made to sweat by West Ham in their most recent game but yet again eventually proved too strong for their opponents, scraping a 3-2 win at Anfield on Monday night,
Their 79 points out of a possible 81 so far is as much as Manchester United’s treble winners of 1998/99 won during that season, while they’ve won as many matches, 26, as Arsenal’s 2003/04 ‘Invincibles’.
“It’s so special, the numbers are incredible, so difficult. We said it a couple of times, we spoke about wonderful games, brilliant games, we spoke about hard games, difficult games,” Klopp said after the West Ham win.
“You can only have the number of wins you have if you win all of these games: the difficult ones, the easy ones – if there ever was one – the brilliant ones and the rougher, more grumpy ones.
“In the end, that’s what counts. We all know it’s very special, but in the moment we are really just in the situation and want to recover and prepare for the next one.”
Two seasons ago Manchester City broke all sorts of records to amass an unprecedented 100 points in the Premier League and if Liverpool continue at their current rate, then that total will surely be broken and there will be another group of ‘Centurions’ in our midst.
