Klopptimist Prime - Liverpool FC 2019/20

What records have they set?

*Best start ever
When Liverpool reached 64 points from their opening 21 matches, it was the most a team had ever accumulated at that stage in any of Europe's top five leagues.

They have since extended their record, winning their following six fixtures to rack up 79 points from their first 27 matches.

*Most points won over 38 matches
With their 1-0 win at Tottenham Hotspur on 11 January, Liverpool set a record of 104 points from 38 Premier League matches, beating the 102 achieved by Man City and Chelsea, ending in 2018 and 2005 respectively.

*Biggest lead at the top
The Reds' 25-point lead they have managed at the top this season is the biggest ever in English top-flight history.

*Most home wins in a row
Liverpool's 3-2 victory over West Ham United on 24 February was their 21st consecutive Premier League home win, beating Manchester City's record of 20 achieved between 2011 and 2012.

It ties the top-flight record, set by Liverpool's 1972 side managed by Bill Shankly.

What records are they targeting?

*Most home wins in a season
Chelsea, Man Utd and Man City have all managed 18 home wins in a Premier League season. Liverpool have won all 14 so far in 2019/20 and can become the first side to win all 19.

*Most consecutive victories
Liverpool's current total of 18 straight victories, which started against Spurs in October, equals Man City's 2017 record. The Reds could set a new mark at Watford on 29 February.

*Most victories in a season
Liverpool are six away from matching the 32 set by City in 2017/18 and 2018/19.

*Most away wins in a season
The Reds have won 12 of their 13 matches on the road and are now four away from matching Man City's total of 16 from 2017/18.

*Most points in a season
A victory in each of their remaining 11 matches would take Jurgen Klopp's side to a total of 112 points, beating Man City's record of 100.

*Longest unbeaten streak
Undefeated in their last 44 matches, Liverpool are five away from equalling Arsenal's record of 49 matches, a run that ended in 2004.

*Invincible season
The Reds can become only the second team to remain unbeaten throughout a Premier League campaign, after Arsenal in 2003/04.

*Most days without a loss
Should Liverpool avoid defeat this season, they will surpass the Gunners' record of going 539 days without losing between May 2003 and October 2004.

*Biggest winning margin
Man City won the title by 19 points in 2017/18 and Liverpool are on course to beat that figure.
 
Have been catching up the LFC and footy podcasts while 'working' today. A few mentions of Bobby leaving :eek: which I do take with a pinch of salt but still :(

I have much love for Firmino. By far my favourite player in the squad and personally I would rather lose Salah or Mané than him.
 
You missed the big Man Utd announcement
Managing director Richard Arnold boasts 'shortly after we concluded the loan signing of Odion Ighalo, he was the top trend worldwide on Twitter' ahead of Brexit and the US impeachment process.
 
Just goes show how much we miss Hendo. No creativity in midfield. TAA has an off day, front three were shite and Watford played a blinder. Can’t complain just sucks have to listen to all the cunts under the sun coming out of the woodwork now to gloat. We move on YNWA!
 
Mrs o87's brothers are all Watford fans, so as you can imagine, my phone's been off the hook with 'banter'.

It's almost as if, after the birth baby87, they've just realised I've been having sex with their sister....
 
Yep, that all went to shit a bit didn't it?

Best team won. Watford got it right. Defend deep, hit us on the break. Almost worked for West Ham too. Wouldn't be surprised if everyone gave that a go from now on.

Pleased to hear YNWA sung at the end, regardless.
 
Quiet day at work today, so I applied for a load jobs I'm massively underqualified for.

So by the law of averages, I think I'm in with a shout.
