Honestly when you are THIS close, I would hope Liverpool breaking the record, they have been playing the most dominating game I have ever seen in a long time and even though Liverpool fans hate when I say this but I still think that achieving this with no "superstar" players is an achievement.
I get that their players are good and even great but none of them are ronaldo or messi or anything like that, they are just good players but if you put them all in 18 different teams you wouldn't get this out of these players, Klopp actually managed to bring out 100% out of the players and made something sensational. Watching the bottom part is a lot more entertaining right now compared to top, City probably out of Europe for punishment, others are doing fine but the bottom race on who will drop is a lot more fun to watch.
Actually I don't hate it at all, I totally love it, I've embraced the underdog tag for such a long time, ever since my beloved Jamie Carragher was always called the poor man's version of a good defender (I can't remember who they actually said but it was some time after our 5th Champs League win).
Yes we had superstars, but our Torres, Suarez, our Salah actually never arrived as superstars, they became as such thanks to Anfield.
And yes we have VVD and Alisson, the closest we had to established stars but come on, VVD was plumbing Celtic and Southampton as a good defender but no one breathed his name like they did others who now play for City or United or even Chelsea. And Alisson was even a deputy keeper at Roma!
I myself was a shitty football player at best but when I played with my mates, we played daily so knew each other so well we sometimes beat fancypants guys who thought they could roll over us. Winning like that was the best feeling ever, and playing as the underdog as Liverpool gave us Istanbul miracles.
Today, the team's amazing, and as Klopp himself says, are all so wonderful, generous and not selfish. You feel it in your bones watching them. You're right, it's all about Klopp, but it's also all about him identifying the right people to get together. He loved his BVB side too, but he had to admit recently the current Liverpool team are truly something special.
You can assemble an expensive title winning team like the others did, or you can build an idea and back it up with money like Liverpool board and manager did!
Klopp: "We will not defend the title... we will attack it."
Shit sorry for hijacking with Liverpool but haha. Good luck guys with Poker!
