SIMPLY THE VERY BEST

what they have done this season.

- 

LIVERPOOL deserve to be champions, given they have been a mile better than anyone else this season.

Winning the league is a great achievement for the Reds and Arne Slot.

Nobody has ever come to English football and succeeded a legend such as Jurgen Klopp this superbly.

Emulating your illustrious predecessor in your first year is some going.

Just look how it's gone at Manchester United, as we come up to the 12th anniversary of Alex Ferguson retiring.

No, Liverpool's was a seamless transition, with the Dutchman not spending a fortune upon his arrival in the Anfield dugout.

The best comparison to what we saw yesterday and have seen all season is when Bob Paisley took over from Bill Shankly and actually did better.

They are worthy champions, only losing one league game until a few weeks ago, and it's really some feat.

The moment yesterday when Mo Salah had a selfie with the celebrating Anfield fans while in the stands were the likes of lan Rush, Kenny Dalglish and Alan Hansen reminded us that this has always been a great club.

What makes it very special for the fans is that the last time they won the title, in 2020 under Klopp, it was in front of empty seats due to Covid.

The players had to celebrate without a crowd then but now, they can really savour this.

Liverpool have a big squad but you have to say that they have also been very, very fortunate with injuries this season.
