This is just so much fun! Thinking back to my favourite seasons as a Liverpool fan - the treble in 2001, our European run in 2005, the (almost) fairy tale in 2014, the football we played in 2018, the runaway title in 2020 – they were all incredible but this is shaping up to be my favourite ever. We’re at a point where every game is starting to feel like a party. Granted, a couple of poor results and all the celebrations could be cut short but at the moment it’s like a dream. Big atmospheres at Anfield, new songs being sung every week, One Kiss being played after each game, Klopp’s fist pumps, Thiago stroking the ball around the pitch, Salah and Mane hitting form again, Diaz even thrilling the commentators…
To outclass City last Saturday, then batter United on Tuesday, then dismiss Everton today, you won’t get many better weeks than that. Our back-up keeper won us the League Cup against Chelsea, we’ve done the double over both of our biggest rivals (15-1 on aggregate), we beat both Milan teams in Europe, there was Bobby’s goal against Arsenal, Minamino’s goal against Leicester, Origi’s goal against Wolves and despite all of that, the best could be yet to come. It’s seasons like these where you have to just let the anxiety go and grasp every little bit of joy that you can. Live in the moment, embrace the excitement, let yourself be whisked away on a journey. If we don’t win another trophy it will be an anti-climax but that shouldn’t prevent us from remembering this as one of our best seasons ever.
