It is the consistency that sets Liverpool up above all others so far. The biggest strength I think they have is that winning with just one goal is the big advantage they have in most of the games. They don't need to score 4 times because they concede 3 times, but they score 1 goal and after that it is extraordinarily tough to beat them. They can counter, they can defend well and they are ready to play the time and every advantage that is running for them.
I never thought that the new coach would be able to put Liverpool into this position. He is doing a great job and it speaks for himself.
Even if all hey keep getting is a goal and they are able to protect it and win the game at the end of the day, I think that actually is a very good one for them and so they actually will still have better chance at the trophy than having too many goals and never winning the games, for me the most important thing remains the accumulation of points and that is all they need to win the trophy, it doesn't matter if it's by a goal alone, once they get on a game and they are the first to get a goal, the next priority should be to protect that goal at all cost amd make sure to secure three points.
