Liverpool Have ‘Comfortably’ Been the Best Team in the Premier League and the Numbers Prove it | OneFootball

Liverpool’s Title Chances: Unstoppable Force in the Premier League

According to David Lynch, speaking on a recent Anfield Index podcast with Dave Davis, Liverpool have not just been participating in the Premier League this season—they have been dominating it. “Liverpool have comfortably been the best side in this league, with the best attack in the league and the best defence and all of the best underlying numbers,” Lynch states unequivocally. His confidence in Liverpool’s performance is palpable, noting that the team possesses not only the strongest offensive but also the most impenetrable defensive record this season.

This isn’t just casual observation. The numbers truly back up Lynch’s claims, providing a robust foundation for his confident assertion: “I’m fully confident now that Liverpool will go on to win the league and the fact is that by every metric, Liverpool are the best team.”

Resilience Rewarded

The resilience of Liverpool under Arne Slot’s management has been noteworthy. Despite the usual ups and downs of a Premier League season, Lynch points out, “Unless they get some horrific luck go their way, they will win the league and they will deserve it.” This statement isn’t just about luck; it’s a testament to a well-structured team that has been built to overcome adversity.

Indeed, Liverpool’s journey has been one of consistent excellence, barring an outlier performance at Anfield against Nottingham Forest. “Liverpool have consistently been the best team in the league and in every game, other than the Nottingham Forest game at Anfield,” Lynch remarked, highlighting the rarity of their stumbles.

Comparing the Competition

Lynch does not shy away from comparing Liverpool’s performance to that of their closest rivals. He believes that “Arsenal might even have more points than they deserve based on their performances this season.” This analysis suggests that while Arsenal has been performing well, their results might be slightly flattering, implying that Liverpool’s lead is as much about their own prowess as it is about their rivals’ overachievements.

Inevitability of Success

The inevitability of Liverpool’s success this season is a theme Lynch touches upon repeatedly. “Liverpool will be worthy champions and I think it going to happen,” he asserts confidently. This isn’t just hope or desire speaking; it’s a prediction based on a season’s worth of data and performances that suggest Liverpool’s time to lift the trophy is near.

This sentiment is echoed in Lynch’s reflection on Liverpool’s historical challenges, “If there has been any luck that has fallen their way, then they’ve earned it over the past 30 years where things haven’t gone their way.” It’s a nod to the cyclic nature of football fortunes and a recognition that success, when it comes, is often the result of a prolonged period of effort and near-misses.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the discussion with David Lynch underscores a clear narrative: Liverpool are poised to become Premier League champions again, underpinned by stellar performances, strategic resilience, and a bit of historical justice. Their march towards the title is not just a matter of chance but a culmination of years of refinement and persistence. As the Premier League season progresses, all eyes will be on Liverpool to continue their formidable play and finally claim what has been suggested as their inevitable reward.
