This weekend Liverpool recorded their first loss since January 2019. The Reds fell to a heavy 3-0 defeat at Watford, dashing the side’s hopes of replicating the Arsenal invincibles. Jürgen Klopp’s side will still win the league by a country mile; Kopites needn’t worry, recent history shows that Liverpool can go invincible next season.
The loss at Watford ended a 44 game unbeaten streak for Liverpool.
The side’s last league defeat before Saturday was the narrow 2-1 loss against Manchester City in January of last year.
Finishing on 44 games unbeaten leaves the club five games short of Arsenal’s 49 game record.
However, recent history shows that Liverpool can go one better next season, Liverpool can go invincible.
In 2018 The Reds reached the Champions League final in Kiev, only to be defeated by Real Madrid (and Loris Karius).
The following year, Liverpool invested in key areas of the squad and lifted the trophy in Madrid.
Shortly before winning the competition in Spain, Jürgen Klopp’s men finished just a point shy of the Premier League title, this season they have opened up a ridiculous lead at the top – their coronation is now a matter of when, not if.
This pattern shows that if The Reds fall just shy one season, they’ll address the issues and win it next season.
Defeated European finalists to European champions, Premier League runners up to Premier League champions.
It follows that with another transfer window under their belt, this Liverpool side should be able to plug any gaps and go one better next year, Liverpool can go invincible in 2020/21.
