Agreed, one of our toughest opponents to date this season. Really well organised, confident and dangerous going forward, particularly down the flanks where they caused us a lot of problems. We could’ve easily lost points here.
Wolves played bloody well and created more than enough chances to get something out of the game, they just couldn’t finish them. Partly that’s Alisson, partly that’s poor finishing (not sure if they had a bad day or if it’s an ongoing issue?).
Conversely at the other end, as you said we put ours away. Maybe that’s luck, maybe that’s just the sign of a clutch side.
Individual performances, Henderson & Firmino were great but I also thought Gomez had yet another very good day out. Our defensive record since he returned from injury speaks for itself.
94 points from 96 available. Wow.

Jesse Lingard is a chance too.
The league is much more competitive now than it was back then too, would be a phenomenal achievement if Liverpool go unbeaten.

Plus we are winning every week. That’s not a dig at that Arsenal side, but we need 3 wins from our last 15 to be level on victories with them.
You sure? Every team seems to be pretty s**t beside liverpool, citeh and maybe leicester

Wolves and Sheff U as well.
Just an opinion, the standout teams back then were obviously Arsenal and United. Chelsea and Liverpool rounded out the "big 4" as it was known. I feel its much more competitive now, any team on their day can cause an upset if you're a little bit off your game. I don't recall so many teams being separated by so few points as it now seems to be from that 4/5th position to say 12th/13th.

Whilst ole most likely isn't the right man for the job, no manager is going to go in there and get top 4 with that squad first season in, it requires major surgery and the right signings, which they have struggled with for a long time now

Don’t think Liverpool deserve to be in the conversation in regards to Arsenal’s Invincibles. Sure they’re probably the best side in the league right now but they’ve been very lucky to not drop points this season. The amount of times they’ve been bailed out by either Var or some random piece of luck is ridiculous. They deserve to be leading the league but I think they’ve looked very beatable for a side that’s undefeated. Probably more on a City level from the last 3 seasons.

Lol what. Loving this luck narrative. Arsenal had far more draws than Liverpool so far. I would say the team with more draws were a lot more lucky to not lose. Liverpool are only 4 games off matching Arsenals win total in their invincible season with 15 games left!

Much more competitive across the board.

so on par with the City side of the last 3 years that almost all pundits have claimed have the best squad to ever grace the premier league?
anyone would think Liverpool haven't had a decision go against them on VAR and are only winning because of a lucky bounce of the ball on a weekly basis
2018 champions league runners up excuses= you only got their because there was no VAR, you will be ****ed when it comes in
2019 champions league winners = you only won because VAR helped you out
yawn!

Van Nistelrooy had his jimmies rustled by Keown & co that day. Thats why he missed. That Arsenal side took no s**t and dished it out unlike the current side.
Not sure if you're just trolling and not sure if you remember that season but Arsenal might've gone thru the PL undefeated but they lost numerous games in the cup comps and Wenger parked the bus in the last half dozen games or so in order not to lose.

Can’t see Liverpool losing, maybe a draw here and there but they just keep winning, those players must seriously feel like they’re walking on water at the moment, the feeling walking onto the pitch and thinking “We’re the best in the world” would give you so much confidence.

Arsenal dropped 24 points. Liverpool have dropped 2. LFC way ahead of the game at this stage.

Wasn't he up against Robertson?
Agree with the common taters that he has improved his final ball. That clipped cross while running at full pelt was delicious. I wonder if he will take up Spain's offer if they call him up again, or will he play for Mali in the African Nations in April.

I can't believe he scored. He's the good attempt king of the Premier League.
I don't know if you were serious but I reckon TAA, VVD and Mane would probably be in front of him. And KDB ahead overall at the moment.

I'm not convinced that a Liverpool player should be POTY at this stage. Our success has been built off even contribution from a large number of players in our squad. I would say that we could feasibly have more than half of the top ten (if such a ranking was to be made), but that De Bruyne has been the league's most outstanding player thus far. If it was to be a Liverpool player, I think Mane is the most likely but even he has cooled off of late - whereas De Bruyne is going to comfortably break the assists record and score a fair few goals too.
I think the 2017-18 season sets a similar precedent, when Salah won the award despite City having the greatest season in Premier League history. Although Salah's season was probably a level above what De Bruyne is doing this season, it does show that record breaking teams don't necessarily automatically also collect all the individual awards.
