With Stoke City in hand, Liverpool's players can start the revelry as they seal the league title at the halfway point; What if there is no trophy, the halfway title is already in Liverpool's hands, even if they are not comfortable sitting in this position. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The process of the game is a little dramatic, but also a little heart-pounding; But the result was happy, and the result of 1 to 0 was enough for the Red Army soldiers to open champagne.

With 13 wins and 6 draws, Liverpool is now at the top of the table with 45 points; They withstood the pressure and managed to win the halfway race.

In this round of the game, Manchester United won 4-3 with the help of Little Pea's stunner in the case of three times behind, and their record is also good, reaching 14 wins, 2 draws, 3 losses, and 44 points, they are closely chasing behind Liverpool, but unfortunately there is only one half-way champion, that is, Liverpool.

Juan Mata's goal helped Chelsea to victory and they looked to be on the verge of bottoming out, but they had left a bit of a gap and now had to run hard to get back into title contention. And Arsenal and Tottenham, either a problem with the squad or a problem with form, basically left the championship group early.

Defending champions of the league, the Blues, were a bit of a disappointment, as they were hit by veteran Adam Johnson in this round; The winner of last season's key rotation player for the Blues handed City a painful defeat.

The sad Manchester City have lost the momentum of the defending champions in recent rounds, losing not to mention the Manchester derby, but also losing to the likes of Sunderland. With 10 wins, 6 draws and 3 defeats, Manchester City now only has 36 points, and they are already a whopping dispute away from Liverpool at the top of the table!

Halfway through the season, we don't know exactly what kind of situation will be held at the end of the season, but there are certainly some general trends.

There is no absolute king in the Premier League this season, and there is no absolute belly.

Although this is only relative, it is indeed a pattern in many cases.

Liverpool doesn't need to care about the relegation zone, and Qin Lang really doesn't think the Reds will fight for relegation, and it is even certain that the team doesn't need to deliberately emphasize competing for a Champions League spot now. Because Liverpool's goal is to stay in the table, they don't need to go any further as they are league leaders.

Now Qin Lang and the Liverpool players are concerned about the team's championship situation, which is the focus of everyone's attention, and it is indeed because of Liverpool's re-emergence that the pattern of the Premier League has begun to change.

Since the rise of Manchester City and the decline of Liverpool and Arsenal, the Premier League has shown a pattern of Manchester City competing for the title and the top four, which is the pattern of previous seasons, and many people thought that this pattern would last for a long time.

In the last Manchester City, Manchester United won the championship by goal difference, while Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham and other strong teams fought for three or four places; This season has been pretty much the same, but with a slight change.

Manchester United and Manchester City form the first group, and these two teams can be said to be certain to get Champions League places; Of course, at this time, the lineup is not very luxurious, Liverpool has sprung up, no one thought that the Reds would be so strong, such a 'grassroots' lineup actually beat a group of giants at the top of the table at the halfway point of the season.

Behind them are huge second-tier teams: Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham, Everton and even West Bromwich Albion all have a chance to secure a Champions League spot, and these teams will surely fight to the death for a Champions League spot.

While it's certain that teams like West Brom will fall out of contention, the brutal but exciting fact that only one team of Chelsea's calibre, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur can qualify for the Champions League is a sign of the strength of the Premier League.

But it's not easy to be in the league now, because the competition is too fierce; After each round, the standings change dramatically. Over the past few years, the Premier League has had the largest and most competitive group of finishes in all of Europe.

It's not just the battle for a Champions League spot, the race for the league title has actually entered a hot stage.

Winning the Premier League title last season with Sergio Aguero's goal, City's prowess has made the whole of Europe tremble. Because Manchester City's squad is so luxurious, because they have too much money, everyone thinks that after conquering the Premier League, Manchester City's goal must be to run for the Champions League.

But the summer transfer market Blue Moon seems to be 'very sane', and their super mercenary army, although expanding, is just not as exaggerated as expected.

So, Blue Moon paid a big price; Because when Aguero was out for many games due to injury, Balotelli was out of the picture, and Dzeko could only be substituted, Manchester City's attacking power began to be greatly reduced, which is why Manchester City is a bit disappointed in the current standings.

Manchester City is a little speechless, more because of the new Premier League champions, but they are at the bottom of the Champions League group stage, and they haven't even qualified for the Europa League.

Of course, Seon is not blessed, and Manchester City's early farewell to European competition can make them fight to the league sideways. Liverpool and Manchester United, who are currently above Manchester City in the standings, will be constrained by the Champions League in the second half of the season.

There are still many reasons to look forward to Manchester City because the blue moon is so rich that they are not too far behind in the standings. If there are some bombshells thrown in the upcoming winter transfer market, it is really likely to see the Blues return to the title race strongly.

Liverpool's other rivals, Blue Moon's city rivals Manchester United, will certainly be under pressure this season.

Liverpool are just one point away in the standings, and look like the Red Devils, who wanted to stalemate Manchester City until the final round last season. However, Manchester United have scored the most goals in the Premier League this season, but their previously solid defence has been poor, which is why their record has not progressed.

Manchester United are undoubtedly more consistent than rivals Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea, and they have not won 7-1 or 8-0 or anything like that, but only Manchester United have repeatedly played back-to-back games, and it is a matter of course that they are second in the table.

Manchester United's first half of the campaign showed two characteristics: one was the reversal and the other was an excellent result against the giants.

However, the Red Devils really can't relax, because Liverpool are still in front of them, and because Manchester United's defensive performance has not been good since the first round of this season.

Manchester United's many reversals this season are a small victory or a last-minute stunner, it can be said that there is a certain element of luck, if the defense line can not be solved, no one can say whether there will be so many reversals in the second half, as the so-called often walking by the river where there are not wet shoes, to continue to defend so badly, it is not impossible to be reversed by Manchester City in the second half.

Just look at Liverpool, although they are not the most ferocious team in the league in attack, or even just a team with more average firepower in the Premier League. But the number of goals conceded in the first half of the game was about five goals, which was a little too scary.

Liverpool's excellent and solid defense is the foundation of their current top position, and the unbeaten record in the new season is enough to make Liverpool proud; Perhaps at this time, many people saw the possibility of Liverpool replicating Arsenal's unbeaten season to win the title, although everything is still relatively far away, but it is really likely that such a situation will occur.

Qin Lang also knows very well that the team is indeed very strong now, they are now at the top of the standings, and they have successfully won the half-way championship.

However, Liverpool also has their shortcomings, that is, the squad is not luxurious and deep, and compared with other competitors, Liverpool's hard power is still somewhat insufficient.

Moreover, Liverpool's shortcomings in the offensive end also need to be taken seriously, and the Reds' firepower in the offensive side after the change of coach has indeed improved; It's just that Liverpool has played so many draws this season, isn't it because their firepower is not strong enough!

There were many 1-0 games, and there were even dull draws; If the offensive firepower of the Red Army can be ferocious, then the record can really go further.

The upcoming winter transfer really needs to do something, and Jinyuan football is now the mainstream; If you want to win the championship, you don't necessarily have to rely on the money pile, but it is certain that if you are not willing to spend money, then there is basically no possibility of winning the honor of the league championship.

As well as Liverpool may need to consider some signings, they also need to take into account the team's multi-front operations, which has to be admitted.

The FA Cup and League Cup are certainly abandoned, and it's a pity to abandon them without taste, and it's clear to Liverpool that they don't need to expend more energy in this chicken cup competition.

But the league and the Champions League are reluctant to give up, the league is now the halfway champion, the Champions League is now in the round of 16, and even the quarterfinals are just around the corner.

In such a situation, it is strange that the team is willing to give up any front, and Liverpool will definitely fight on two fronts in the second half of the game; This is a test of the fitness of the players, but also a test of the depth of the team's squad.

Of course, this also includes the ability of Liverpool's players to withstand pressure, considering their consistency when it comes to crunch time.

It's really tragic to say, that is, there are very few players in the current Liverpool team who have won the league title; Qin Lang can sigh, because he has the Bundesliga championship among the five major leagues, or two, which is the highest in Liverpool.

It's just that when a player like Qin Lang, who is not a veteran himself, comes to press the formation, it may be a bit unreliable; The team's lack of experience in winning the title is really likely to affect Liverpool's journey in the second half of the season. (To be continued.) )
