This league title win is starting to look a bit underwhelming by the way they're finishing the season. In the end, they didn't break any record set previously.
Imagine losing to this fecking Arsenal and having the audacity to claim your title win is anywhere near the best
They are undefeated at Anfield in the league for nearly 2 years right?
Reckon they won't want to lose that
But would be funny getting the title after a shit performance
If they don't lose that would be great

Glad they played Atletico before lockdown now 
Liverpool have now had the same number of losses ( 3 ) as Leicester when they won the league.
They're gonna throw away the Chelsea game aren't they?
It's Liverpool. Remember the back pass from Gerrard to Drogba?

If Maguire was after winning the CL and league in 12 months I'd forgive him for a rare mistake
I honestly don't think Chelsea will win.
Liverpool are 49 home league games unbeaten... they will definitely want to get to 50!
Not The Invincibles. Not The Centurions. Failed in cups. But somehow some pundits will still call them the greatest evah.
They have had a brilliant season and you can't take that away from them, but Klopp deserves some criticism with his obsession on the PL records. The feature between Carragher and Keane is spot on looking back at it now. Carragher was singing the praises of the Liverpool side saying they are on course for all these sort of records and Keane just simply pointed out that they are a great team but let's wait to see what they win (at the time, they were in CL, PL, FA Cup) and stated you don't getting nothing for the records, it's trophies won.
Klopp put out a weakened team in the FA Cup to rest players for the league when it was won in Jan. If they had played a full strength team against Chelsea and lost then yeah fair enough, but he prioritised these records over a trophy. I'm not sure what happened with the CL in terms of resting players beforehand or not, but I'm sure there was an opportunity to rest players in the PL before and in-between these games and he didn't? I'm not saying they would have won both these trophies as well but it could have been an historic season if they had, instead he chased historic number of points etc and it's backfired in that respect as they aren't going to achieve that and they missed out on the 2 others trophies.

No treble, no unbeatable season, no points record season, just few records nobody will remember in 2 or 3 years really. Just a league winning season like any other. Sure, for them it's historic one but to remember how media bigged them up and all those articles about are they the best PL team ever, you can only laugh. Not to mention no crowds, no parade.. They had to win it sometime but if anything I'm glad it's a bit underwhelming overall.
Great post.
I get the way they were desperate for the league as it had been so long, but if ever a team was in a perfect position to go for the treble it was this side with how the league was basically won so early. They flopped, people remember maybe two major PL records, over 100 points and going undefeated, you have to be a bit of a nerd to ever really think or care about the other ones. But winning the treble or the almost impossible quadruple? That's history making stuff. Truly baffled by how it seemed they were just desperate to be the best PL side ever and seemingly content with just that, and they've failed. They simply went on a great run to win the league, a gritty robotic and simply not very entertaining run at that.
I can fully understand Klopp prioritizing the league to an extreme degree. Liverpool as a club have been desperate to win the league, and to be the manager who breaks their curse must have been a big target. He will be remembered and praised for that by the club and fans for the rest of his life. He have already won the CL with them, so of course he was going to focus whole-heartedly on the league. And yes, maybe Klopp has been tempted a bit to pursue a perfect season with no losses. I can't blame him for that. Would have made him an eternal hero and legend for the club. When you think back at Arsenals success in the 2000's, you instantly think of the invincibles season.
And taking into account that Liverpool has been serial bottlers after being top of the league at christmas in previous seasons, I too would focus all my energy on the league until it was mathematical impossible to bottle it.
I don't think that Liverpool fans for years to come will look back at this season with a sour taste un their mouths. They will remember it for the season where they finally managed to win the league after 30 years of waiting despite being thrown out of the CL and the FA Cup.
I know the media all love Liverpool, but Match Of the day was a fecking joke. No criticism to Van Dick at all. Gary Lineker actually said he made the "mistake" because they had already won the League. Never heard so much crap.
Going to hear all these excuses today from sky, talksport and the fecking rest.

Its why I don’t bother with punditry anymore. They’re all the fecking same and Sky constantly push any sort of agenda they can find. I used to be one of those who would watch the pre match build up and all the post match but now I’d rather do other things. I’ll simply just watch the game then switch off, I always watch highlights the day after it’s aired so I can Skip the ‘analysis’ and just watch the football.
They definitely wanted a record points total.
It’s not just a Liverpool thing, it happened to Utd as well, who lost 3 games in a row I believe after winning the league one year. The intensity has gone, that extra 1% needed has gone from their game.
Liverpool have clearly been the best team in the league, but they aren’t as good as they think they are. Without the intensity, and need to win, then any team can beat them.
They have nothing to play for. Wry hard to get out of that mindset. They won’t be bothered about losing to Chelsea. The record books show they are champions, and that’s all that matters.
What Miracle in Madrid is your username about?
The signing of Jonathan Woodgate
Fixed. We should have a filter that adds the asterisk any time Liverpool and title are mentioned.
The way they're going they will be another Leicester. We just need challengers next year so as to not gift them another.
Their signing of Thomas Graveson
Ah feck beat me to it. Great minds though
I'm exactly the same mate. When I was younger, I watched every game that was on and all the pre and post match analysis, if it was United or any team. My God though, it is atrocious these days. If United are on, I may watch the build up but I normally only stick around afterwards to see if the players or Ole says anything. If it's just a random game, I'll only stick around for the 90 minutes. MOTD I tape, so I can skip all the analysis and watch the highlights.
I could analyse the game better in 5 minutes after watching the game than the vast majority of pundits, they are awful. I only really like Keane, Higginbotham and a few others. Ironically enough, some of the best analysis of football comes from BT Sport covering the Scottish games, but Sky have those from nest season so that will be awful as per usual.
I think people are also underestimating how hard it can be to sometimes pick up from a slump and go again. If they carry on like this they might carry this form into next season. I still think if Utd did make some astute signings and really started the campaign well next season, we could be outsiders for the title.
10th loss of the season. 5 in the CL, 3 in the league and 1 in each domestic cup.
We lost only 4 in 98/99 in all comps.
Best team ever my backside.

City’s goal difference is +10 better than *’s now, and probably only going to increase by more before the end of the season. Yet there’s an 18-point margin between the two in the league table. Absolutely incredible how * have hoofed their way to the championship.
This 2019/20 title win by * is probably the most peculiar in any league. Anywhere. Ever. If you were to sit down and watch an array of games of City and *, and didn’t know anything else about either team only what’s occurring in front of your eyes, there’s no way you’d come to the conclusion that * are better, never mind 18 points better.
It’s the anomaly to end all anomalies.

The hate is strong in here
That doesn't sound right so quick check... yeah they only lost 3 in the CL. 8 is still quite a lot for a supposed superteam, no need to embellish it.
Liverpool have outperformed their averages all season, this is them reverting to something resembling normal, people expecting them to go on and do what they did this season again are in for a shock next year. You can't be that lucky over 3 seasons, it would be one of the rarest statistical anomalies ever.
Is the thread title written by a kid?
honestly were it not for the corona break; I think it’s very conceivable that they wouldn’t have wrapped the league up yet. They went into the break in horrible form and looked dead on their feet
I LOVE that kid!
Same
They blew the competition away lads and gave themselves the luxury of being able to lose their last few games 10 -0 and it wouldnt make a jot of difference.
Comments like this are just silly - the aim is to win the league. They did it.
I wouldnt give a feck if we won the league on goal difference by scraping a draw in the last game against the bottom team with Phil Jones scoring with his arse in the 96th minute
The history books will list who the champion is and it really doesnt matter how they get there.
They lost 3 in the group stage and 2 against atletico Madrid 8n the knockout rounds.
What? No they didn't. Am I hallucinating? Are you confusing them with Salzburg? They won four, drew one, lost one.
The thread title is great 
Seems strange to be laughing at Liverpool after they've won the title but they have brought it on themselves. Everything with that club has to be hyperbole, everything has to be special or magical. They couldn't just win the league and enjoy, in their eyes it had to be better and more impressive than everyone else even when it wasn't. This means more? No it doesn't, it means the same as any other title win. In fact it means much less than the likes of Leicester winning it as that was so unexpected. Liverpool have actually been alot less impressive than last year but their fans have built it up so much that they must now face ridicule for failing to deliver on the hype.
