\u2018Liverpool 2.0\u2019 this, \u2018mentality monsters\u2019 that. The Reds\u2019 fanbase have often been derided for overrating their favourite stars, but they\u2019ve been proven right so far this season.<\/strong><\/p>\n Jurgen Klopp\u2019s side are second in the Premier League standings heading into the dreaded winter run-in, sitting only two points behind leaders Arsenal. Their only domestic defeat has come at the hands of Tottenham Hotspur \u2013 a loss which saw Liverpool reduced to nine men and a goal wrongly ruled out for offside after the greatest VAR blunder in history.<\/p>\n In their latest escape act,\u00a0Liverpool\u00a0overturned a 3-2 deficit at home to Fulham with three minutes of regulation time remaining. All four goals scored by the hosts were crackers in their own rights.<\/p>\n How do they compare with each other, though?\u00a0We love a good ranking\u00a0at\u00a090min<\/em>. This is prime fodder round these parts.<\/p>\n \ud83d\ude2e\u200d\ud83d\udca8\ud83e\udd2b pic.twitter.com\/7Z0jnH7cXT<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Liverpool FC (@LFC) December 3, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Someone needs to start a petition to have these kinds of goals awarded to the free-kick taker.<\/p>\n If Trent Alexander-Arnold\u2019s set piece had simply crossed the line after crashing the underside of the crossbar and not bounced backwards off the head of Bernd Leno, it\u2019d be two spots higher on this list.<\/p>\n But hey, it didn\u2019t. It did hit poor Leno\u2019s cranium. We can\u2019t live with regret, we can only move forwards. Some day the world may be a just place, but not today.<\/p>\n 3.

Still a great goal, but the standard here is stupidly high.<\/p>\n 2.

Why was Alexander-Arnold afforded the time and space to take a touch off his thigh and let the ball bounce before hitting it with no one even close to closing him down?<\/p>\n But the Liverpool vice-captain still had a lot of work to do. You can hear the rising Anfield tension, the nerves and the angst, the fastened heartbeat of 50,000 people in unison. To control your adrenaline as well as the actual football itself is a task incomprehensible to you or I. It\u2019s why professional sport is so magical.<\/p>\n 1.
