Thing is, if we’d lost that title, by crumbling against Villa, after the lead we’d had at Christmas, the (wholly unwarranted) narrative in the press would have been, with the score on the last five titles being 3-2, that their squad were our equals over that half decade, with many journalists taking the path of least resistance by deploying mental gymnastics to the point that they edged us out over that period. There is no doubt this would have been the narrative that was spun in certain quarters.Our comeback against Villa broke Klopp and Salah in my opinion
That comeback was so important for lots of reasons, including securing the legacy of such an amazing group of players. That Liverpool have since capitulated (like they did in 2020/21, but more so) has merely served to underline our dominance over them and our incredible consistency over the last half decade.
If our current league positions remain unchanged for the rest of the season, then over the last six seasons, rounding up and down to the nearest whole number, our respective average league finishes will be 1st and 4th.
So much for going toe to toe. Not even close.
Game, set and match.
