The graphic below as it suggests shows how special this side is, the last few weeks even more so. Nine wins in a row....NINE WINS IN A ROW!!!!!
Even the most ardent people who despise Liverpool on grounds of tribalism surely would give the side some credit. In a league that is so competitive it is no coincidence that both Merseyside clubs - Everton and Liverpool combined are on a run of 15 wins a row. The brilliance of both boards to appoint coaches who are brave, pragmatists and play football in such a way that you are tuning in every week to see what both sides can muster. It is definitely no coincidence that both managers are in the running for MOTY award as been honest with Chelsea and City cheque-books only Pochettino comes close to either managers on Merseyside in the praise stakes.
For Liverpool Football Club, today at West Ham was as tough as it gets. The anti-Liverpool so to speak, but at times West Ham got it down and played football. Although with Sam Allardyce in charge that was never going to the order of the day. Specifically Skrtel and Sakho need mentioning, Andy Carroll was always going to be a handful. Up for it against his former club who he felt didn't get a fair chance. Rodgers's has been vindicated for getting rid despite Carroll's words. Both dealt with his presence very well, Sakho only returning from injury put in a performance that could possibly dislodge Agger for next week's crunch clash against City at Anfield.
Like the previous nine games, it's just another game will be the mantra for Rodgers's but the one thing today showed and against Sunderland this side has big bollocks when it matters, hungry and wanting it. Manchester City will turn up next week their is no question they have the quality but do they have the hunger as much as this current Liverpool side....that remains to be seen. In the cauldron atmosphere of what is to be a rocking Anfield next Sunday will test even the most special players like Yaya Toure who is a monster. The spine of City like at the Ethiad earlier this season will be tested. Whoever dares wins....for one sure thing Liverpool will be there chomping at the bit.
For us Liverpool fans...the rollercoaster of this amazing season keeps rumbling on towards what we hope will go down as one of this great football club's greatest triumphs both domestically and Europe which is saying something special about Brendan Rodgers's tricky reds.
