Absolutely yes! They are miles ahead of everyone else and I dont see anyone holding them back from winning each game left.
 
Its defo on but Man City away will be the test. City will be very motivated to beat us since have walked the league title.

Liverpool will go for the win so this match will be one great spectacle.

Really?

Champions League final and UEFA cup both were played by English teams. This suggests the PL has the best teams.

And the champions league final last year was the worst final in years.

PL (only Liverpool) have the best team, beause top European clubs like Barcelona, Bayern, Real, Athletico, Juvetus are nowhere near as good as they were 3-4 years ago. The only great team in Europe right now is Liverpool.

You are correct.

POTW :klopp
 
Liverpool has really surprised me. Didn't expect them to be unbeaten for 25 games.

Well done!
 
Liverpool kept there momentum going from last season, but EPL has been shocking, 4th position has never been hotly contested like this in years or ever, but quality across europe has fallen, juve are being challenged in serie A, barca and RM are at there worse in years.

Never excepted City to collapse the way they did this season leaving no one to challenge LP, but hopefully they come back to beat them at the eithad.
 
I think City can beat Liverpool and you can't rule out fatigue as they could get in the latter stages of the CL, which could lead to them dropping points.
 
unstoppable at the moment - another win vs Norwich this time.
 
I honestly believe they could go the whole season unbeaten.

So much strength in depth.

Yes, as the standard of the premier league is at an all time low.

No it's really not. The premier league is more competitive than ever before. Last season you had teams like Huddersfield and Fulham which were 12 free points for anyone that wanted them. This year Norwich already have more points than Huddersfield. Norwich, West Ham and Watford are all very competitive teams in fact.

This year the rest of the teams have improved significantly and you can see how they compete with the likes of City and Liverpool. Liverpool might be unbeaten but they've had to work hard almost every game. Not to mention, the English teams are doing very well in Europe.

The standard of football over last two years is much much better than late 90s and early 2000's. Teams move the ball much quicker, passing rates are higher, and the football is played at a much higher tempo.

"Standard at all-time low" is truly hyperbolic crap being spouted by pedants that don't actually watch the sport.

People are judging this year's standard because there is a team running away with the title. So it's easy to just claim everyone else is terrible than to give the league leaders due credit.
 
It'll be far too difficult. Liverpool have to play away at Everton, Man City and Arsenal as well as play Chelsea at home.

Not to mention, it'll get much tougher now with the champions league restarting this week. If Liverpool secure the title while still being in the CL and FA Cup, Klopp will prioritize the two cup competition over something like going unbeaten in an already wrapped up league. Anyone would rather win two trophies than one if it means losing a couple more games.
 
A young Manchester United fan who made a bid to stop Liverpool winning the title has been left shocked after Jurgen Klopp sent him a personal reply.

Daragh Curley, from County Donegal, wrote to the Liverpool boss for a school assignment.

The 10-year-old asked if it would be possible for Liverpool to lose some games so they would not win the league.

Klopp wrote back, praising Daragh's passion, but explaining Liverpool could not drop points on his behalf.

Daragh's dad Gordon told BBC News NI that while most of his classmates were writing fan letters, Daragh instead decided to write a letter of complaint to the Liverpool boss.

In the letter, the Glenswilly National School pupil wrote: "Liverpool are winning too many games. If you win nine more games then you have the best unbeaten run in English football. Being a United fan that is very sad.

"So the next time Liverpool play, please make them lose. You should just let the other team score. I hope I have convinced you to not win the league or any other match ever again."

Mr Curley said he was shocked when a reply came.

"My wife Tricia was up in the local post office/shop and she was told that there was a registered letter there for Daragh Curley," he said.

"She was wondering who would be sending Daragh a registered letter, but when she mentioned it to Daragh he said 'oh it's Jurgen Klopp'.

"And it actually was Jurgen Klopp."

Klopp's Liverpool are on course to win the Premier League and have not lost a league fixture so far this season.

In his letter to Daragh, he said: "Unfortunately, on this occasion I cannot grant your request, not through choice anyway.

"As much as you want Liverpool to lose it is my job to do everything that I can to help Liverpool to win as there are millions of people around the world who want that to happen, so I really do not want to let them down."

"Luckily for you, we have lost games in the past and we will lose games in the future because that is football.

"The problem is when you are 10 years old you think that things will always be as they are now but if there is one thing I can tell you as 52 years old it is that this most definitely isn't the case."

He added that Manchester United were lucky to have Daragh as a fan and praised his passion for football and for his club.

Mr Curley said that Klopp "seems to be an awful, awful decent individual".

"I would be a Man Utd fan myself, it's grating that Liverpool are doing so well, but behind it all you have to respect Klopp and what he's done," Mr Curley said.

"He came across as a nice guy all along, I suppose this letter really confirms to me that he is a decent, decent guy.

"What I love about the letter is that it's about sportsmanship and respect too and I think saying that to a 10-year-old is great."

However, Mr Curley said his admiration for Klopp would not cause either himself or Daragh to switch their allegiances.

"There's reinforcement techniques ongoing just to ensure that there's no swaying from the Man Utd mandate," he said.

Liverpool finally lose to Watford 3-0.

It was always going to be tough to remain undefeated all season.

Liverpool are a good team but I have watched most of their games and they have lived on the edge for too long and the results have flattered them. Salah looks a poor player these days and soon people will begin to talk about this, his touch is poor and although he is still scoring, he looks short of confidence. Firmino is so anonymous in some games that you think he isn't even playing.
 
To Watford of all teams losing the undefeated streak :yk this is like Spike Dudley ending Undertaker's streak at mania instead of Brock lol or Conor beating Floyd aha

They were lucky to beat West Ham in the last game. All 3 of their goals were due to Fabianski errors.

They have been by far the best team this season, but their biggest test will be defending the title next season.
 
FA tried hard to ensure that Liverpool go unbeaten, but there are only one invincibles, and there is only one Arsene Wenger.
 
As Jurgen Klopp tried to deliver his assessment of Liverpool's shock Premier League defeat at Watford, he found himself having to speak louder than he probably would have liked.

Despite the microphones and speakers set up in the press conference room within the bowels of Vicarage Road, the noise of celebrating Watford fans just outside was virtually drowning him out.

This was supposed to be Liverpool's day. It ended up being Watford's.

The narrative that preceded Saturday's 3-0 win for the Hornets was all about Liverpool. A hundred or so members of the press had packed into the old stadium with just one angle on their mind - Liverpool were on the verge of making English top-flight history, with another win on their relentless march towards the Premier League title meaning a record-breaking 19th in a row.

Pre-match talk was not only about Liverpool setting such a record but also whether they could match the Arsenal "Invicibles" achievement of going an entire season unbeaten.

Few would have expected both of those records to be torn apart by a Watford side that started the day in the relegation zone and had not won in their five previous outings.

Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk, Dejan Lovren, Roberto Firmino, Andy Robertson, Liverpool
Liverpool's 3-0 loss was the biggest margin of defeat for a side starting the day top of the Premier League since November 2015
But that is exactly what happened.

How? Put simply, Watford were the better side from start to finish. They pressed Liverpool high up the pitch and were quick to close down the Reds whenever they ventured towards the Hornets box.

Klopp himself - well aware that the headlines would be about Liverpool's defeat - was keen to direct praise towards Watford.

"3-0 is a bit harsh but we had a big hand in that," he said.

"The most important thing is congratulations Watford - well deserved. That should be the headline. We didn't perform like we should have and Watford performed exactly how they want."

There were, of course, negatives within Liverpool's performance that contributed to the defeat.

Dejan Lovren made his first Premier League start since 7 December as Joe Gomez missed out because of a minor fitness concern and the Croatia international looked rusty as he struggled to deal with the pace and trickery of Ismaila Sarr, who twice got the better of the Reds to score.

Lovren started the last time Liverpool lost by three goals - the 2017 4-1 defeat by Tottenham - but he was not alone in having an off day. His defensive partner Virgil van Dijk made a number of uncharacteristic mistakes, while Fabinho was also considerably off the boil in midfield.

"Things we usually do naturally right we didn't do right. That already made the game pretty tense. We spoke about football things at half time and I really liked the start of the second half. The reaction was good but then we conceded the first goal and not long after that we conceded the second.

"But it has nothing to do with the games we won before and the games we will win - it was just this one football game and we have to admit we lost to the better team."

The home crowd, too, played a part.

Before kick-off the atmosphere around the ground was not one of despondency but one of belief that Watford were doing the right things, despite recent results saying otherwise.

They encouraged their team from the outset, rather than groaning at anything that did not come off, and when Sarr broke the lines with one of many promising runs on the flank early in the first half, they roared with an encouragement that clearly rubbed off on the players.

But much like Klopp, Watford boss Nigel Pearson did not want to overplay the significance of the result in their battle for Premier League survival.

"It is just one game," he said of the win that moved his side out of the bottom three on goal difference.

"We have 10 left and we have to try and emulate today in terms of performance.

"The results have not been what we wanted. We found it difficult to find ways of winning games. We coped exceptionally well today and that is the most important for me."

So what does this mean for Liverpool?

They are 22 points clear at the top of the table so, ultimately, it is the slightest of bumps in the road as they close in on a first league title in 30 years.

Instead the Reds will, as the phrase so attached to them goes, simply "go again" but now unburdened by the pressure of chasing records.

"I see it [the defeat] as rather positive," Klopp said. "From now on we can play free football again, we don't have to defend to try to get records.

"We can just try to win football games again."
