nah this is nonsense.

Give liverpool some credit, they found a winning formula and have had the luck of having no injuries to see it through and gain an impressive momentum.
it will be different next season when they've got to play 10-15 games like their title competitors in the Champions League but they wont care about that right now if they win the title this season.

So United were not good enough to win it this year, but we still could have kept Liverpool well away from the perch.
--------
It wasn't just Manchester United. City and Chelsea realistically have thrown it away and Liverpool took complete advantage of it. Credit to them as that's what you need to do if you're a complete outsider favourite to win the league.

pretty sure liverpool have had injuries and suspensions for key players at various points of the season, Saurez didn't start playing until September if i remember rightly?

we've had a lot of players missing this season

Tbh, I think Liverpool have deserved their position this year. They've played great football at times, beaten almost all of their top half rivals and have managed to take advantage of a season where one of the strongest sides has had unparalleled transition, a new manager at 3 of last seasons top four, and Arsenal's fragility and mental weakness. They've been impressive and deserve to celebrate a great campaign, win the league or not. They'll have to strengthen in the summer just like everyone else, but I think you can only praise them all things considered. I just hope their fans are able to understand that to maintain where they are and improve, they have a lot of work to do in the summer too. Hats off to the red scousers from me.

"Form goes out the window in derby games"

One of my most hated cliches in football. In fact, the form book will show that results in derby games are very much in keeping with form.

I think this is more wishful thinking on your part, rather than anything else!

Liverpool should get credit for leading the table in style & if they do ultimately win it, it will be well deserved!

Indeed. Hard as it is for me to say. But it is what it is.

The 0 - 3 spanking at OT was a completely dominant display from Liverpool. It was embarrassingly easy.

With your ageing squad and the hapless Moyes you stood no chance.

agree we have to spend more this summer then ever IMO to now try stay competitive at the top end of the league, going to be a big summer for us, we need to add some quality to the squad for sure, plus united will be better next season you'd imagine and Everton will be pushing hard for a CL spot again provided Roberto stays on.

spurs, well Spurs are Spurs so who knows what they will be like next year.

I thought that said 'Liverpool's accent' at first.

I never liked it either, would be interested to see those stats for form and derby results.

What a load of nonsense from the OP. Liverpool have easily been the most consistent team in the league this season, and beating Man U confirmed that. They have beaten a stronger Man U side home and away before so your analysis is terribly flawed. Give credit where it is due.

You weren't the only team to outplay us at OT this season Paisley. This year has been the blip from us. We'll be very strong next year. This club will react in a big way. The board, now that Moyes has gone, will be furious, and want an instant return to the top. And they'll get it I'm sure. Will be a good season next year.

How is this article working out for you OP????

I think us losing to Chelsea and city winning 4 is a very possible outcome. City would win on GD in all likelihood.

I can't see you losing to Chelsea. They are very poor at the moment.
