Liverpool moved one step closer to becoming Premier League champions on Thursday evening after earning a 3-1 win over Sheffield United.
The Reds successfully maintained their two-point two lead over Arsenal at the pinnacle of the table and stay three clear of Manchester City with eight video games to play.
Jurgen Klopp’s side now discover themselves in the thick of the run-in and are about to take section in their hardest final fixture on the calendar: an away trip to Manchester United.
Looking beforehand to this seismic showdown, three Liverpool supporters have shared their views as section of a weekly ECHO fan column.
We never make it handy for ourselves, do we? But after the emotional rollercoaster of Thursday night towards Sheffield United, would you have it any other way? Maybe, yes, but Mac Allister’s rocket into the pinnacle proper of the internet reminded every single purple inside Anfield they’re alive and we’re now eight video games away from giving Jurgen Klopp the send-off he deserves.
It was painfully difficult to hold a degree of complacency at bay going into the in shape and the horrible second of an equaliser was once always lingering. I’d begun to entertain some severely darkish thoughts of what dropped factors would possibly mean, however then up stepped our Argentinian World Cup winner when it mattered most of all. Even earlier than giving us the lead, Mac Allister had been brilliant all over the pitch, chipping in with some vital defending.
After a gradual begin to life at Anfield, it’s becoming more apparent with every passing week simply what a bargain the Argentinian was. He exudes classification and provides the goals we’ve been missing from midfield in seasons gone by. I’m immensely proud of these Reds whatever takes place involving the trophy haul come May, but my god Mac Allister will be a man who has given everything. Most thrilling of all is he’s only just getting started.
Last night’s 3-1 win towards Sheffield United used to be a reminder that the old adage of “one sport at a time”, even though cliched and insipid, is very a good deal the way to method this title race with Arsenal and Manchester City.
Some of us were experiencing an acute bout of anxiety remaining night time at Anfield after the Blades equalised following a lacklustre begin to the second half. Those among of us wondering of the game on Sunday against Manchester United have been possibly feeling relatively red-faced. There are now eight video games to go and we be counted them down one through one.
Eight wins and we win the football league again. Our strength in depth, with Curtis Jones returned and Trent Alexander-Arnold, Diogo Jota and Allison due to rejoin team coaching next week, would possibly just be the difference in the race for Premier League glory.
It’s been a week of wonderful challenges and fascinating progress. More of the former can be predicted at Manchester United on Sunday as we goal extra of the latter.
