Breaking records/stats thread

So Liverpool arrived at the 33 victories whilst playing 46 league matches 71.74% success.

Our "Boys in Blue" reached that total by playing 41 league matches 80.49% success.

Another record that will be difficult to beat and we still have 3 matches to play in this calendar year.

All Competitions (2021). I have us as currently at 50 wins (12 Defeats 2 draws). This has to be another record/one we probably already have??

1982 - They had 47 wins (8 Defeats 10 Draws)

Never been a fan of calendar year stats in football. I’m not even certain when they became something significant - I certainly don’t remember them being discussed 20 years ago. Wonder if it’s down to the Ballon d’Or factor and people obsessing about that?
Football should only be measured in terms of seasons as far as I’m concerned. That’s where trophies are won and what teams will ultimately be remembered for.

They were discussed in 1996, a big headline was that MUnited and Liverpool got the same number of points that year. Although it turned out Liverpool played 2 more games.
 
You do lose track of the number of records we actually break, seems to be a different one every week. By the time Pep actually leaves (a horribly thought I know) we could probably fill both sides of A4 with them. Are there anymore left to break?
 
People might not want to acknowledge it because we have not won the Champions League but we have been the best team the Premier League has ever seen.

Better than the ‘Invincibles’ better than the scum treble team. Better than any Liverpool team from the 70s and 80s.

The consistency and domination over the last 5 years has been unparalleled and we were hardly a bad team under Mancini and Pellegrini.

The fact we didn’t even get to top gear against Leeds and Newcastle is frightening.

Definitely.

We’re breaking records left right and centre and surpassing everything all the best ever teams did.

I’d love to get into the Three-In-A-Row club with Huddersfield Arsenal Liverpool and United. And obviously win the international titles (Champions League, Super Cup, Club World Cup).

But in many ways, it’s also nice that we haven’t done these things yet because it gives us something to still strive towards. Something to give us the hunger to keep going. It’s what I’d be telling all potential and new signings if I were Pep and Txiki “you come here and be the player and part of the team that finally brings these things to this club”.

But even in not doing them yet, we are still the best league team ever in this country.

“Best” is measured with titles. Win this year and make it 4 out of 5 and we have a decent case.

Despite our current dominance though an unpalatable fact is that should the dippers win the league this year then over the last five years it’s 3-2 to us with one CL to them which would quash any notion of dominance sadly, especially in the eyes of the media
