We've already broken some Premiership records, others bound to follow and even some all time records up for grabs
LIVERPOOL PREMIERSHIP AWAY POINTS
08/09 40 points
01/02 39 points
07/08 34 points (GD +9)
05/06 34 points (GD +8)
96/97 32 points
So a new record away points for the Premiership. Our top flight record overall is 42 points in 1981/82 which we can break, that season was 21 away games. This is only the fourth time we've surpassed 40 away points
LIVERPOOL TOP FLIGHT AWAY RECORDS
81/82 P21 W12 D6 L3 F41 A18 PTS 42
08/09 P18 W12 D4 L2 F34 A14 PTS 40
87/88 P20 W11 D7 L2 F38 A15 PTS 40
46/47 P21 W12 D4 L5 F42 A28 PTS 28*
*in the old two points for a win system, converted it makes 40 points.
Equally, the above table also applies for most away wins, if we win at WBA then it will be the most Liverpool away wins in a top flight season to go with most away points.
Most home wins is 14 in 95/96, most home points is 46 in that season so we can't equal or break those records.
LIVERPOOL MOST PREMIERSHIP POINTS
05/06 82 points (38 games)
08/09 80 points (36 games)
01/02 80 points (38 games)
07/08 76 points (38 games)
Rafa has three of the top four entries, but the Premiership has changed, and more and more points are being picked up by the top sides - perhaps no coincidence the amount of money spent has increased as well. If Liverpool reach 86 points that is a very good total, but the last time that would have been enough to be top or joint top was 02/03
PREMIERSHIP CHAMPIONS
04/05 95 points (38 games)
99/00 91 points (38 games, GD +52)
05/06 91 points (38 games, GD +50)
03/04 90 points (38 games)
06/07 89 points (38 games)
07/08 87 points (38 games)
01/02 87 points (38 games)
02/03 83 points (38 games)
The bar has been raised, 25 wins hasn't been enough to win the Premiership since 02/03
LIVERPOOL MOST PREMIERSHIP WINS
This record can't be broken this season, it can be equalled
05/06 25 wins in 38 games
01/02 24 wins in 38 games
08/09 23 wins in 36 games
07/08 21 wins in 38 games
94/95 21 wins in 42 games
Most wins in a Liverpool top flight season is 30 back in 78/79 - 42 games, 19 home wins, 11 away and 68 points (two points for a win)
LIVERPOOL PREMIERSHIP GOALS SCORED
08/09 72 goals (36 games)
00/01 71 goals (38 games)
95/96 70 goals (38 games)
97/98 68 goals (38 games)
98/99 68 goals (38 games)
Most goals Liverpool scored in the top flight is 92, it would take a miracle to catch that. 72 goals is the most since 90/91 when we made our last serious title challenge and then we scored 77 goals. If we could reach 80 goals it would be the first time since 87/88.
Most away goals overall is 42 in a top flight Liverpool season, it would take 8-0 at the Hawthorns to equal that.
LIVERPOOL PREMIERSHIP CLEAN SHEETS
Good season that is has been, we haven't been so hot on clean sheets. Nonetheless it should register quite highly in the Premiership list - second if we don't concede in our last two games.
05/06 22 (38 games)
06/07 20 (38 games)
08/09 19 (36 games)
01/02 18 (38 games)
07/08 18 (38 games)
94/95 17 (42 games)
LIVERPOOL LEAST PREMIERSHIP DEFEATS
08/09 2 defeats in 36 games
07/08 4 defeats in 38 games
05/06 6 defeats in 38 games
01/02 6 defeats in 38 games
95/96 7 defeats in 38 games
LIVERPOOL LEAST TOP FLIGHT DEFEATS
87/88 2 defeats in 40 games
08/09 2 defeats in 36 games
78/79 4 defeats in 42 games
07/08 4 defeats in 38 games
75/76 5 defeats in 42 games
89/90 5 defeats in 38 games
IF Liverpool lose no more games this season, it would be only the SEVENTH time a side has lost two or less games in a top flight season.
LEAST TOP FLIGHT DEFEATS
03/04 Arsenal : 0 defeats in 38 games
88/89 Preston NE : 0 defeats in 22 games
90/91 Arsenal : 1 defeat in 38 games
04/05 Chelsea : 1 defeat in 38 games
68/69 Leeds Utd : 2 defeats in 42 games
87/88 LIVERPOOL : 2 defeats in 40 games
08/09 LIVERPOOL 2 defeats in 36 games
Statistically a great season, but perhaps more great for us than it is great overall. The record points in the Premiership is 95, most wins is 29, most Premiership goals scored is 97, most clean sheets is 25 etc. Self improvement is great, but if we want titles then we need to improve to such an extent we best all rivals. We don't need to beat our own record points tally, we need to beat their points tally for the current season (or equal it and win on GD)
