Another great thing about this run is that Liverpool haven't been playing at 4:30 AM as they're always in the featured slot. It's the little things that matter, at least for the foreign fan who has a difficult time waking up at 4:25 AM when their mom had cancer. Fortunately it is now had cancer. Makes all of this much easier to enjoy.
This is a dream season, the perfect way for this long running nightmare to end. It definitely won't ever be replicated. We can't make proclamations on exactly how great a team this was until the end of the season, but this is one of the great teams. This is the second season of such form, and while luck can matter sometimes in determining a result here and there, the consistency of the team to always be in position to get a result is staggering. That they didn't lose this game as fatigued as they looked at the end of the United match, and in the face of a major player getting injured, that says it all.
Last time I sat down to watch a league game at Anfield and we lost was April 2017. The squad for that game was almost entirely different than it is now. Thank you Coutinho.
Haven't watched them lose a CL home game since they got back in it. Only lost the final in 2018.
Haven't lost a two legged CL tie in two and a half seasons.
The only game the first team lost this season came from a shambolic penalty award and a bad VVD backpass. The loss was harsh, but it was a loss.
The best thing is that in terms of the squad and their ages this doesn't look very near to ending anytime soon. Inevitably they will lose something this season, maybe it's just a game, maybe they drop out of the cup, maybe they lose to Atletico. At some point, surely this team must lose again? Their standard is so high though. It's not perfection but it's pretty goddamn close. We're almost there and it isn't going to take 27 more points. This will be done when they play Crystal Palace in March, might be able to win it against Everton. Can only imagine the scenes if the latter happened.
