Liverpool’s 2023–24 season has started off wonderfully. Here’s how it stands.
At this halfway point, Liverpool’s 2023–24 season is ranked remarkably well. Here’s a comparison between it and their finest Premier League appearance.
The Liverpool Premier League season is currently halfway through. After 19 games, the Reds’ season couldn’t have started any better.
Manchester City is the clear favorite for the title, but Jurgen Klopp’s club is still in the running. That’s in spite of a summer revamp that saw the club bring in a number of fresh, youthful players and let go of a number of important players.
Liverpool quickly established a cohesive squad, and winning the Premier League is a top priority for them. After all, as the new additions get more playing time, this is a team that ought to get better during the second half of the year.
The fact that this is already one of Liverpool’s best starts to a Premier League season in history is what makes it so thrilling.
This is the fourth-most points the Reds have managed at the midway point, as freelance journalist Andrew Beasley noted on X. In 19 games, they have amassed 42 points.
The only seasons that surpassed it were 2019–20 (in which Liverpool dropped two points to claim 55), 2018–19 (51), and 2016–17 (43). The only other one where the Reds had trouble keeping up their pace in the second part of the season was the later. Naturally, it was also Klopp’s first complete season.
Liverpool should be very encouraged by this, although they will be disappointed not to be in third place. They are only one point behind where they were in 2016; for example, they would have been ahead if Trent Alexander-Arnold’s late attempt against Manchester United had gone past the post. Or if the Tottenham Hotspur VAR had been even somewhat competent. It would have also given them a boost.
However, given the nature of the side, this is especially positive, as we have said. In several areas, especially the midfield, Liverpool is still quite young and inexperienced. Their current record of six draws, the most of which should have been victories, serves as a particularly strong indication of this.
By now, this is the fourth-best Premier League season the Reds have had, and the second half of the season should be even better.
