Liverpool FC and their fans have waited way too long to be denied now. Just ask super supporter and talk show host John Oliver. The Reds were just two victories away from clinching their first league title since 1990 before the season was suspended indefinitely due to the coronavirus outbreak.

Is that what it’s going to take to keep this drought going- a global pandemic? Well, UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin has made some remarks that will ease the minds of the Liverpool community. He said there is “no way” Jurgen Klopp’s side will be denied the opportunity to earn the Premier League title this season.

Liverpool FC, along with the rest of global football, are off indefinitely due to the coronavirus pandemic, but there are still plenty of Reds news items to discuss.

So let’s get started with where Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane ranked in the Who Scored.com top 50 in Europe. The high scoring duo were ranked much lower than one would expect, as neither cracked the top 25. Salah was #30 and Mane #28, read the justification over at this link

In the “next logical step” department, the German national team is interested in hiring Liverpool FC manager Jurgen Klopp to be their next boss. That’s according to the Daily Mirror, who report “there is a growing ­enthusiasm within the corridors of football power in his homeland to line up Klopp as a successor to Joachim Low.”

That’s definitely no secret, as Klopp is an absolutely beloved figure in his native Deutchsland. The concept of having Klopp as national team manager is so popular that it has been discussed on German pet Instagram accounts for years.

Liverpool FC goalkeeper Alisson Becker was the world’s most expensive shot-stopper, for a brief period, when he was acquired from AS Roma. His transfer fee record was quickly eclipsed when Chelsea acquired Kepa Arrizabalaga, but can Kepa do this?

Check out this amazing goalie throw from his backyard into his own house achieved by Alisson. Watch it and you’ll see why it’s going viral. Also, this is probably the time for us to phase out that phrase “going viral,” something I’ve never really liked anyway.

Liverpool FC, along with the rest of global football, are off indefinitely, but there are still plenty of news items to discuss. We also have some transfer talk to do, because if there’s one thing that can survive a global pandemic, it’s transfer rumors.

So let’s get started with the latest prominent football figure to weigh in on the idea of Liverpool being awarded the league title, should the Premier League season have to be officially scrapped. Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan would be fine with it.

The coronavirus pandemic has shut down not just football, but sports overall, worldwide. We are living in extraordinarily unprecedented times right now as numerous institutions that continued to operate during even World Wars are now completely shuttered.

As anyone familiar with world football knows, Gerry and the Pacemakers’ “You’ll Never Walk Alone” is the anthem of Liverpool FC, the side that many footy observers would agree was the best team in the world most of this season.

Liverpool FC, along with the rest of global football, are off indefinitely, so instead we’ll have to do some transfer talk. If there’s one thing that can survive a global pandemic, it’s transfer rumors.

Liverpool FC, as well as their fan base, have been anxiously awaiting the conclusions reached from today’s emergency meeting of the Premier League clubs. Liverpool are 25 points clear at the top of the table and need just two more victories to clinch a first league title in 30 years.

So they have the most to lose of any club, should the season be null and void due to the coronavirus pandemic. This level of anxiety is perhaps best illustrated by LFC super supporter and late night talk show host/comedian John Oliver. With Premier League fixtures initially on hold until April 4, there was a lot of uncertainty surrounding what the football chiefs were going to announce on Thursday, March 19. There was even talk the season could end, with LFC being named league champions, which isn’t exactly the way most Reds fans wanted to see the long title drought end.

As of yesterday morning, the Premier League has suspended play until April 4 over coronavirus fears. With Liverpool FC 25 points up with nine matches left, and second place Manchester City (who have ten remaining) only able to collect a maximum 30 points the rest of the way, LFC are certainly champions-elect.

The end of their top flight title drought (which extends all the way back to 1990), is imminent provided the 2019-20 PL season is concluded/made official. According to a report in the Daily Telegraph today, Liverpool will likely be crowned league champions, once the season is officially canceled.

Just 11 days ago, Liverpool FC manager Jurgen Klopp scoffed at the notion of the coronavirus outbreak negating his side’s title season. At the time, he was totally fine in taking such a position, because that was the world we lived in.

Things have escalated quickly since then. Actually, they escalated at a pace that’s unprecedented. And as of this morning, the Premier League has suspended play until April 3. With LFC champions-elect, and set to end their top flight title drought (which extends back to 1990), they certainly have the most to lose, of anyone, now that the 2019-20 PL season is in limbo.
