RHYME AND REASON
You’ll Never Walk Alone. Superbia In Proelio. This Means More. Blue Moon Rising. Red v Blue. Kopites v Cityzens. For the last time in Our League, Jürgen Klopp will take on Pep Guardiola. Cue intro: the Liverpool poet, celebrating Jürg via the medium of folksy verse, and sound-clash that with a braggadocio Manc rapper in big coat employing a groin-led swagger. Next: zoom in on Anfield. (Any TV execs looking for a freelance director, get in touch with Football Daily.) Cliche aside, this is a big one. It’s way too early in the season to be the title decider, not least because Arsenal are racking up big wins as the Third Way, but it holds historical significance. It has been the most glorious Liverpool era since Bobby and Sheila Grant were household names, and yet, even if they win the title come May, the Klopp era will conclude with two titles compared to Guardiola’s five. And from one of Liverpool’s greatest teams.
