This article has nothing to do with momentum being a huge thing in football

We'll take the title whether "given" or by "proxy". Its hard to make this argument when a team is 25 points clear. You'd have a point of the gap was tiny. 25 points will never be a doubt.

As for not being able to celebrate, that's disappointing but covid is a more worthy villain to make that bearable.

Winning a title by being mathematically uncatchable is undisputable,winning a title by default will certainly effect momentum.

Not celebrating a title in front of your fans would be a major downer for the players and potentially could be a big concern when it comes to momentum

We shall have to see, won't we?

We've lost 2 games in two Prem seasons and didn't sign anyone last summer. Will be hard to keep that going without adding players but we shall see.

This momentum argument sounds like hot air to me though.

It is a shame for Liverpool it has unfolded this way but five years from now nobody will be doubting their credibility as champions.

Surely Liverpool’s momentum was a hell of a lot. They were free falling off a cliff after being done by Watford and Chelsea (much vaulted midfield brings turned over by a debutant teenager) and gone and away vs atletico...

As for all the teams in the Premiership,LFC had the biggest momentum behind them,so therefore they will have the biggest downside when it comes to suspension due to covid-19

Most of the momentum was generated by VAR.

The outrageous decisons they benefitted from made them feel invincible.

Lol, what?

If ever there was a time for Barry to do a graph this is it.

Liverpool players winning the league and celebrating in front of their fans against being awarded the title or playing behind closed doors.

Bound to be a shift in momentum

I guess the answer to the question of whether we had momentum and whether we will subsequently lose it as a result of covid depends on what point the rival fan is making at that particular point in time. We have momentum when it suits and don't have momentum when it suits.

We'll see how it goes though. According to JA experts, we had already lost momentum long before covid and we we're "scraping" through games. Furthermore, JA experts have highlighted Manchester United's good form in the last 10 or so games.

I'd argue that United were in revival mode after signing Bruno and Covid will have put an end to that.

Yeah they've probably got no control over their own destiny tbf, not in the face of momentum. What will happen then? Does our momentum move from a 9 to a 6? Does you gave an equation or graph you could post mate? I think it would help.

Perhaps there will be a 37 points shift in momentum, you never know.

You had the greatest amount of momentum before covid-19 so therefore the greatest amount of momentum to lose post covid-19

What ratio you think then? We lose 3 bits of momentum to everyone elses 2?

I think Maidenhead had the greatest momentum of anybody tbh

Liverpool have the greatest momentum to lose,it could be a killer for LFC long term as other clubs now have greater time to reflect and to react.

Whatever way you look at it,it doesn't benefit LFC

Yeah you said but in order for me to understand the full effects of this nightmare I need to know the how much momentum we had, how much we will lose from that and also the other clubs momentum. Only then will we know the base level momentum which at the end of the day we all know decides football results.

I'm not seeing many numbers so far. Not even a Rooney.

I agree with Neville. Whilst I think you will have a very good season, it will be a little less than this.
I think, look at our last dozen games, that our season will be much better than last? Voilà, much closer.
Re Liverpool this season, everyone knows you have been great, and are champions in all but name. Except fools and wums.

I think a shift in momentum was already taking place, United were on an upward trajectory since the arrival of a certain Portuguese, conversely Liverpool were in the midst of a mini collapse, I think Covid-19 has inadvertently saved Liverpool from themselves

Which would have happened anyway as football stops for three months in the summer every year.

Screaming for a bit of PowerPoint this. Come on OP, don’t be lazy. Plenty of time on your hands. Show us quantifiable data for us to analyse.

Liverpool were always going to win the league,but winning it by default or behind closed doors is certainly going to nullify them momentum thet have built up.

As it stands momentum wise Liverpool are going to be losers

Momentum aside spending nothing in last years transfer budget means that FFP wise we may well be in a very strong position to take advantage of a weakened transfer market. Few players leaving on end of contract too which along with the new kit deal could work well for us.

Considering we've been absolutely on it for two seasons on the trot, playing a huge amount if football including 7 competitions this seasom, and were in patchy form I suspect a break and a good freshening of the squad will actually do us a lot of good.

Odd use of the word 'Momentum' considering Liverpool lost 3 of their last 4 games before lockdown.
