I am enjoying the incredible journey this young team are on. After last season, it is astonishing that we are in a title race immediately after reconstructing the team almost from scratch. If you’d told me Ali (to name just one missing giant) would be out injured for most of the season, I’d have worried we might be struggling for fourth - the hopeful target I think most of us had in mind at the start of the season.
I’m also old enough to remember United mugging us frequently on the way to yet another Liverpool league win. It rankled then, as now, but we strode on.
We’ve had endless injuries yet young men have stepped up and carried the banner with pride and passion. We’ve seen some memorable performances. We are somewhat short of the finished article but we’ve seen the future and it is very bright, in my view.
Seven games left to play, all of them tough - for each of the competing teams at the top. There’s more twists to come, and the inconstant Fates look kindly on those who meet their withering gaze with a quiet, but mighty resolve.
We will win this title.
