NSTsports Liverpool left to wait and wonder after virus strikes
Jurgen Klopp’s team needed Manchester City to lose to Burnley on Saturday to give them a chance to seal the deal at their local rivals Everton two days later.
The message coming from Liverpool is that there are more important issues than football to talk about, even with the club tantalisingly close to glory. Liverpool supporters, desperate to reclaim their position at the pinnacle of the English game, agree with their German manager, saying the pandemic overshadows football.“In talks with @lfc we asked for assurances that non-playing staff will not lose their pay as a consequence of shifts being cancelled,” it said in a statement.
But they have been peerless in the Premier League, leaving their rivals in their wake to race 25 points clear of defending champions Manchester City. Paul Hayward, writing in the Daily Telegraph, said Liverpool should be crowned champions for the 19th time even if no more games are played. Brighton and Hove Albion chief executive Paul Barber said if the season were to be “frozen” it would be unjust on Liverpool.
