Liverpool's achievement in the Premier League was not bad. They are only 1 point adrift of Man City, which means that in terms of performance they have not lost to the Premier League champions this season, it's just that 1 point gives different results for both teams.
I don't get it how since last night quite a lot of people have been trying to make a case for Liverpool, even to the extent of calling them the best team in Europe this season, as Owen said yesterday, that is completely wrong, you can talk about their fantastic run in all competitions, but what trophies do they have to show for it, they lost out on the league to City, but your post above almost seems like Liverpool are the EPL champions, i really do not get it, whether it is 1 point or goal difference, or whatever, a winner did emerge and it was City, not Liverpool.
Liverpool has a great run in all competitions, but you can't say a team that won the Carabao and FA cup had a fantastic or brilliant season, the two cups aren't major trophies, and the manner in which they even won it, without scoring a goal and in penalty shootouts on both occasions does not really resonate the brilliance people are talking about, they failed to win a major trophy this season and it is disappointing, no matter how the media try to make it look or seem otherwise.
