For over 20 years, Anfield has not tasted glory. Now, they are at the driver's sit in the Barclays Premier League and would be indeed glad to have a feel of the trophy at a time like this.
Liverpool edged fellow title contenders Manchester City 3-2 to ease to a 10th consecutive Barclays Premier League triumph on Sunday after goals from Raheem Sterling and Martin Skrtel capped a dominant first-half showing.
Manuel Pellegrini’s men were level in the second half. First, David Silva got on the end of a fluid move to reduce the deficit, before Glen deflected the ball past Simon Mignolet. Philippe Coutinho struck and it was all over for City on the fateful day.
Beating fellow title contenders, Manchester City was a massive boost to their quest as they currently sit atop the table with 77points, and four games left. With such a performance against City on a day everything worked in their favour. The early goal by Sterling, Yaya Toure's exit due to injury, also bearing in mind the emotions around the the stadium before the kick off (The Hillsborough incidence).
They have shown that they are like a moving train that will only stop at will. At this juncture, it should be said that the title is theirs to lose i.e they have their own destiny in their hands.
Even the Manager Brendan Rogers hailed his side's performance as impressive in the game against City.
Going forward, Liverpool take a trip to Norwich by the weekend, then they face Chelsea, Crystal Palace and Newcastle in the final straw. They (Liverpool) will need to win all the four matches left most importantly, a victory against the Blues from Londand will determine their fate and then City's outstandings will be inconsequential.
