Liverpool closer than ever now



Liverpool's comfortable win over Manchester United could finally put the final doubts to bed as they seek to end a devastatingly long-wait to clinch the Premier League Title. 

To all Liverpool fans, enjoy this moment while you can because it is quite uncertain that the club can compete and better their own current form in the years to come! Only Liverpool can stop Liverpool at the moment. They've now gone more than 38 games unbeaten in the Premier League, equalling the completion of a full season which puts them 3rd on the list just behind Arsenal and Chelsea respectively. 



The Reds were given some daunting tasks to overcome in order to be where they are at the moment and it goes like this: 

"If Liverpool beat Manchester City at Anfield, they will most likely win the title" - Everyone in November 2019. 

"Okay, but really, if Liverpool come through the Christmas period with their lead intact and maintain a steady form, they are on course for the title." -  Everyone after Christmas 2019. 

"Okay, that's done but if Liverpool go on and beat Leicester City, they're surely going to win the league." - Everyone before the Leicester game. 

"If they come out top against Spurs, Manchester United and Wolves, then that's the league done." - Everyone last weekend. 



I think it's time we rub off those imaginary obstacles and just hand the title over to Liverpool. 64 points from a possible 66 is ridiciolously good and they have shown nothing less of a highly capable team of winning the title this time around. Although Liverpool secured a comfortable win against the Red Devils last night, matches like these are no longer intense and fierce as how it used to be in the past. 

More than the result, rival matches of such bring more excitement when there is high intensity, fouls, red cards, exchanging aggressive tackles and many more. I still remember those days when Liverpool had Steven Gerrard, Xabi Alonso, Jamie Carragher and Manchester United had Wayne Rooney, Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs. 

You know you are up for a feast because these players don't serve you any ordinary meal, but a spiced up menu like no other matches. To be honest, I can't keep count on the number of times Nemanja Vidic was sent off whenever these two sides meet in all competitions. 



So, is it finally happening for Liverpool? So far, they've managed to bring down all the critics and went on to bag 3 major European trophies under Klopp. Can they go on and do the unthinkable and win the one silverware that they've been longing to get their hands on? 

Klopp has set up a squad so strong that they can go on and finish the season unbeaten and share the baton with Arsenal. 

Manchester City and Leicester City dropped vital points over the weekend which means Liverpool are now 16 points clear at the top with one game in hand. 

WE ARE LIVERPOOL. THIS MEANS MORE. WE GO AGAIN. YNWA
