Congratulations to Liverpool FC for going a whole year without losing an EPL game. They lost some games such as various cups and competitions in that period but did not lost a game in the EPL.
Liverpool have played 37 EPL games without defeat and picked up 101 points from a possible maximum of 111 points in that time. What an achievement !
Their last defeat was 2-1 against defending EPL champions and 2018/19 EPL champions Manchester City on 3rd January 2019.
Congratulations to Liverpool and their manager Jurgen Klopp.
They deserve it. They were so patient with Jurgen Klopp, and they are now reaping from the fruits of his work. I bet if Klopp had gone to a club like Chelsea. he would have been sacked in his second season because of lack of trophies
Yes the problem with clubs such as Chelsea are that if they do not find a manager that brings immediate success they tend to part with them fast. I hope Lampard has brought Chelsea the stability that club needs and he has put his faith in the younger players instead of going out and buying after their transfer ban was lifted.
I remember when Klopp took over after 8 EPL games when Rodgers got sacked, Liverpool won just 13 of the 30 EPL games Klopp was manager and Liverpool finished 8th in 15/16 season. And I remember when Klopp was being blasted by Liverpool fans and the media around 2016 saying the team was playing no better than when Rodgers was there but the board stuck with him in that difficult period and allowed him time. Klopp is a fantastic manager, he turned Liverpool in to a juggernaut.
The Guardiola aura has ended, if he could go back and leave after the winning the EPL last season he would do that. Now the problem for him is that he would not want to leave Manchester City until/unless they win either the EPL or Champions League otherwise he himself and many others will see him as a failure even though he achieved so much there.
Rodgers has been brilliant for Leicester City this season, they are the team all neutrals want to win, it would be a great achievement for Leicester City to chase Liverpool till the end of the season.
Having said all that the calendar year has to belong to Liverpool for making back to back Champion League finals and winning it in season 18/19, along with the incredible run of 37 EPL games without defeat.
