They had the cheek to compare this Liverpool side to the greats of 98/99 and 07/08. In the space of 8 days they’ve gone from the invincibles to the treble to their season effectively ending in March.
Liverpool played much better football last year. This year they’re just crossing and hoping for the best. Plaudits to them for winning the league after 30 odd years however.
The quality in the league has declined and they wouldn’t accept it. Record points tally? Meh.
Spurs battered by Leipzig
Arsenal knocked out by olympiakos
Chelsea 3-0 loss in the first leg

The standard of teams this season has dropped massively. It's a bit like when Leicester won the league due to everyone else being absolutely awful.
That as well as a lot of luck on Liverpool's side this season equals the position you're in now

Course I'd rather win the treble. Not going to lie and say I'm not bitterly bitterly disappointed about last night and my one issue with Klopp whilst he's been with us is how he sees the FA cup as an irritation rather than a trophy to be won.
This season could have been so much more, but after thirty years, I won't pretend I'm not absolutely delighted to be on course to win the title in the most dominant fashion in history.

i honestly dont know if you will mate now to be honest.
i dont doubt for one minute you wont win the league (unless my birthday wish comes true and its wiped out due to the corona virus) but you seem real leggy at the minute and look beatable whereas before you didnt.
not sure youll break city's record points total

Amazing how we get absolutely no credit for this season.
Amazing.

You've had enormous amounts of credit, pretty much every person in the country that watches, or follows football has said you're the best team in the country by far this season, and deserved winners of the league.

Not sure that's true unless you include when it's accompanied by 'football is weak', 'the league is weak', 'teams in transition' etc.
There's always a but.

Yeah true, but that's usually in relation to or response to claims of being the best side ever or when discussing the points gap to the rest of the sides, not disputing you being the best side in the league.
Personally, you're head and shoulders the best side this year, and I don't think it's possible to compare against sides from different years gone by because there are too many factors.

This Liverpool side are just doing what Leicester did. When you look at the side critically, besides Mane, Salah and VVD, do you really want any of their players?
Imagine how Stevie Me will feel when that donkey Henderson lifts the PL trophy

Credit for being the best team in the league and having more hunger than any other team.
I wish United were more like Liverpool this season sometimes in that the way our players played, it's as if they didn't care at all - it was infuriating to watch.
When you compare that with your team's players that put in a shift every match... 110% every game.....
You can't deny that Liverpool have rode their luck a lot this season as well, especially the past 3-4 months teams have been ripping your defence apart time and time again and still Liverpool have ended up with a lot of clean sheets somehow.
The luck had to run out sooner or later. It's just fortunate that you guys built up such a massive lead in the league and every other team has been bang average / inconsistent that they have no chance in catching up.

Liverpool should be kicking themselves.
Knocked out of CL by one of the weaker teams in it despite being 2-1 up at home in ET.
Knocked out of the FA cup by an inferior Chelsea team
Unbeaten run ended by 19th placed Watford
Knocked out of League Cup by 18th placed Villa
Poor season compared to what they should have achieved. Imo, they were miles better last season.
