Eco 3,008 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Was thinking about this earlier today when I saw that Liverpool set the record for the most points ever in the Top 5 Leagues in terms of points earned in first 21 matches. With a game in hand currently over 2nd place Manchester City, they are already 14 points on top. So my question is, if this Liverpool team doesn't win the league, will it go down as the biggest collapse in English Football History? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber Mel81x+ 3,607 Posted January 14, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted January 14, 2020 Think we'd surpass Newcastle when they let United back in if that were to happen. So yeah, pretty big collapse if it did happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True Blue 971 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 City found form that is for sure, won nine in ten losing only to Wolves. Think even tough the point difference could be even 17 points City can easily win most of the remaining games. However i just don't see how Liverpool can lose 5-6 games until the end of the season. The season is not done until it's done, and the title is not won until it is official i am certain that both Klopp and Pep know that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan 18,349 Posted January 14, 2020 Administrator Share Posted January 14, 2020 It'll definitely be the biggest collapse for sure. Won't happen though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So my question is, if this Liverpool team doesn't win the league, will it go down as the biggest collapse in English Football History? Possibly yes but it depends on the manner in which it happened. Certainly people would proclaim it to be the biggest. Last year we dropped a 7 point lead over half a season but it happened in January and we finished the season winning 10 straight games so it wasn't seen as a collapse at all.

Subscriber CaaC (John)+ 5,358 Posted January 14, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted January 14, 2020 I don't think Klopp is another Keegan when he was manager of Newcastle and on top and had a rant about Fergie & United, we all know what happened next, I still say Liverpool will lose a match sooner or later but it won't stop them winning the league...I think?

The Artful Dodger 1,831 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Got Manchester United next, a team they've always not done too well against, even when they dominated the the 1980s and then Wolves away. Two losses could trigger a bit of a confidence crisis but even then it's hard to see them not winning it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think losing the odd game in Europe over the last couple of years will help with any set back when we eventually lose a game. Responded pretty well to losing at Man City last year too.

Subscriber Dan+ 1,914 Posted January 14, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted January 14, 2020 I agree you've reacted very well but this is a bit different altogether I think.

I don't know what it is about that team that made us lose but if you're any other team you're looking at that and trying to figure out what happened in those games.

The Artful Dodger 1,831 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 I'm still not 100% convinced Manchester City are back in full throttle form, when they flow they win better than any side in the world but I still see them having some tough away games. Spurs, Leicester, Chelsea all still to go to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
