Klopp’s Liverpool Won’t Rank Among All-Time Best in Premier League – Collymore

The Merseyside Red have not been drawn against a fierce opposition to justify their position among the very best.

Liverpool’s 2019-20 side will not be remembered as one of the great English sides, according to Ex-Liverpool striker Stan Collymore.

The Reds are only six points away from winning a first title of the Premier League era, having dropped only four points in 29 Premier League matches so far, and although they will not finish the season undefeated, they stand a chance of breaking the premier league’s points record.

But while Collymore admits the quality in Jurgen Klopp’s vintage makes for a fine team, they have not been pitted against opponents of comparable quality.

Defending champions Manchester City, for instance, have failed to find their imperial form this season, losing seven of their 28 fixtures to date – a colossal decline for a side that had lost only six times in its previous two seasons.

“Liverpool are a fine team and they will deservedly and undoubtedly have the title wrapped up within two games,” he wrote in The Mirror.

“But while I will celebrate my former club’s success, I will also lament that their domination isn’t just because Jurgen Klopp’s side have been so good but also because plenty of others around them have been bad.

“Liverpool’s dominance is not a sign that we’re seeing the greatest sides ever, it’s about a limited number of quality opponent in the league and having low budget to expend, something that puts other clubs in leagues at a competitive disadvantage.

“Liverpool have been on a superb run of form but will they go down as one of the great all-time English clubs? No, for the reasons above they will not.”

Apparently, Collymore believes that there are problems in the Premier League that are seeing the elite becoming untouchable.

“Only time will tell if they are truly deserving of being ranked among the all-time best” He claims.
