Last weekend, where the title race of the top 5 European
Leagues shaped up, it was Liverpool who were extraordinarily shaping their
destinies. Gradually orienting their ship towards the promised land, a
destination that seems unreachable, perhaps unthinkable, simply because it's
been 30 years traveling without finally arriving. Biblically, 10 more years to
go Reds, but could Klopp's divine team ultimately rewrite the scripts?
Could this be the season? The season of return, where the
Reds could actually end their 30-year-wait for the Premier League title. What
better way could they have possibly dreamt of starting any Premier League
season?
A quick glance at the PL table, and in an unusual fashion,
Liverpool lead unsurprisingly, but astonishingly with 8 points after just 8
games having won all 8 matches, BLOODY! This is the Premier League, arguably
the best league in the World, and Liverpool are such a supreme team this
season, it feels like the chasing lot aren't quite on the level to compete. To
be specific, their closest rival, Manchester City, sit second on the league
table, with 16 points from 8 games. Evidently, 8 points separating the two
teams, and in an exaggerated sense, 8 more points plus the difference (8 points
separating both clubs) results in the Sky Blues' total point tally,16, after 8
games played, incredible!
However, let's not get ahead of our ourselves, Pep's men
are a formidable side, and rightly so having earned that right. "THE
FORMIDABLES" they were called after amassing an unprecedented four
trophies in England just the season ago. A devastating 2-0 loss to Wolves at
their own backyard, which in normal sense, isn't truly normal, shouldn't be a
basis for which this team is doubted. They remain an incredible side and even more
so, after a similar and familiar case last season, triggered their beast mode,
as they overcame a 7-point deficit to narrowly clinch the league title from
Liverpool.
Klopp's men know it best, Manchester City is a wounded
Lion now, and this condition most likely makes them dangerous. The feeling of
bottling a 7-point lead last season remains fresh in memory, and their
unflinching desire to finally end the wait for the PL title is ever dominant.
For now, it's 30 more games to play and 90 points to earn.
The season is still young, and Liverpool's recent past
might have taught them a thing or two on how to take the lead and never look
back. 1990 has been long, 2020 should be born. This 2019/20 season might just
be it!
