61 points from 21 games. The best start to a season in any major European league in history. Flippin eck.
The weird thing is: Liverpool have... imperfections. They're not impregnable in central defence. They're not always clinical up front. They lack creativity in midfield.

But fuck me, do they run the legs off everyone. Fuck me, are they well organised. Fuck me, their spirit is unbelievable. THEY SHALL NOT PASS. WE SHALL NOT BE MOVED.
And 16 points clear, they certainly won't be. There's less of a gap between Piers Morgan and Meghan Markle.

Meanwhile...
1. The game is won by the team who commit fewer errors.
2. Football favours whoever provokes more errors in the opposition.
3. Away from home, instead of trying to be superior to the opposition, it’s better to encourage their mistakes.

4. Whoever has the ball is more likely to make a mistake.
5. Whoever renounces possession reduces the possibility of making a mistake.
6. Whoever has the ball has fear.
7. Whoever does not have it is thereby stronger.

FAO Jose Mourinho. This is a completely different sport to the one you dominated a decade ago - and the above 'masterplan' DOES NOT WORK.
All you had to do was throw some attacking players on today in the last 20 minutes and you suddenly looked dangerous: even with no structure.

So what was the point of sitting, sitting, sitting for so long in the first place? You can't play to win for 20 minutes out of 90 and expect to take anything. What a waste.
Awfully hard to see Spurs making the top 4 from here. Impossible to see Liverpool not finishing top 1.

And top 1, most certainly, is where they belong. Best team in England. Best team in Europe. Best team in the world.
