Jurgen Klopp has been left in awe of his Liverpool side, following a magnificent start to the season.

The Reds have amassed 34 points out of a possible 36 after 12 Premier League games, only failing to win away to Manchester United.

Liverpool’s form has left them eight points clear at the top of the Premier League and favourites to finally end the wait for a league title.

Klopp is remaining grounded about the situation, but he can’t help but laud his players.

Speaking to LiverpoolFC.com, the German admitted even he is surprised by what his team have achieved so far in 2019/20:

It’s just the start, that’s how it is, everybody knows that.

If you would have told me that you can have 34 points [at this stage of the season], wow!

It’s pretty much impossible but we did it but now the boys go for the last international break of the year. They have to come back healthy. You saw it how intense it was [against City].

Hopefully they all come back healthy and then we go to Crystal Palace. I think the last games are somewhere on the planet on Tuesday in the week that we play on Saturday against Crystal Palace.

So they will fly back on the Wednesday, Thursday have a recovery session and Friday, Saturday ‘Hello, Crystal Palace!’

That’s the situation so nothing happens so far but it’s still the best situation we could have asked for so let’s hope we can carry on.

Even the most positive Liverpool supporter would surely never have expected the Reds to make such a stunning start to the campaign.

Many would simply have been happy to be in touch with City at this point, but instead, they are nine points clear of them.

This could genuinely be the greatest Liverpool side of all time we are watching – they just need to win the title to cement that reputation.

Will Liverpool get more than 97 points this season?

Yes

No
