Top team at Christmas won the league in 8 of the last 10 seasons. Two Xmas topping teams fell short and finished second. Those 2 teams? Liverpool! Need to make it third time lucky!

OP to me, it's just a case of "correlation not being causation". There are a tonne of factors that hindered us from making it to the promise land in both occasions. Those 11 draws did us in that season under Rafa while BR's arrogance and incompetence in not being able to fix our defence and relying on outscoring the opponents everytime cost us on the second occasion.

Now, I don't know if we will make it on the third occasion cos the PL is 3 to 3 times more competitive than it was back then BUT I do know that this team can cope much better with what lies ahead cos well, it is eons ahead of both those teams in the past. Just my opinion.

The football under Rodgers that season we finished 2nd was incredible though, such excitement.

Hsf, the incredible football we played under BR only came about in January of 2014 after we lost to both City and Chelsea at Christmas of 2013. Prior to that, we were solid BUT still not as good. Just a thought.
