1. Season 2018/19 – Let’s talk about six, baby!

A stunning season saw Liverpool not only win a sixth European Cup but also accumulate 97 points in a relentless Premier League title battle with Man City.

This takes top spot, not only because it wasn’t Covid-affected, but because this was the best-performing team of the Klopp era.
To not win the title with 97 points is cruel, but thankfully, Liverpool went all the way in the Champions League, including clinching an all-time great win over Barcelona.
The final win over Tottenham was achieved in clinical, dogged fashion before some iconic on-pitch celebrations after the final whistle.
This was the Reds at the absolute peak of their powers under Klopp.
Best league win: Newcastle 2-3 Liverpool
2. Season 2019/20 – Champions at last

After 30 long years, Liverpool finally got their hands on another league title – but the manner of it was somewhat anti-climatic due to circumstances out of our control.

Forget any nonsense talk of a ‘Covid title’, Liverpool were home and hosed by the time football was halted for a while, leading the rest by TWENTY-FIVE points on one occasion.
Even if they’d have lost every match after lockdown, they still would have finished the season with a point more than Man City.
Unbelievably, the Reds’ only dropped points in their first 27 league games came away to Man United, which remains an unfathomable statistic.
We were all robbed of celebrating the title with the players, which will always be hard to stomach, but until the beginning of March, this was just as enjoyable as 2018/19, if not better.
The quality and mentality of that Liverpool side were a match for any team in English football history.
Best league win: Leicester 0-4 Liverpool
3. Season 2021/22 – A quadruple chase – 2 games from greatness

League finish: 2nd

Liverpool came within touching distance of an unprecedented quadruple, but two trophies still represented an impressive season.

It’s easy to forget that Klopp’s men looked jaded midway through the campaign, but the arrival of Luis Diaz gave them fresh impetus and they came so close to an outrageous achievement.
Two penalty shootout wins over Chelsea in both domestic cup finals sealed glory, with Caoimhin Kelleher and Kostas Tsimikas the unlikely heroes.
Sadly, Liverpool ran out of steam in the end, again being painfully pipped by City on the final day, and beaten by a Thibaut Courtois-inspired Real Madrid in the Champions League final.
Still, what a ride it was.
Best league win: Man United 0-5 Liverpool
4. Season 2017/18 – Delivering fun all the way to the final

The signing of Virgil van Dijk helped inspire Liverpool to the Champions League final in another season of huge progress.

In terms of memories, 2017/18 provided us with some of the most special in history, mainly in the Champions League.
Van Dijk joined halfway through the season and his impact was immediate – it doesn’t get much better than a debut goal against Everton! – helping Liverpool go all the way to a final.
To beat arguably Pep Guardiola’s greatest-ever City team over two legs was an amazing effort, and the scenes in Italy after the semi-final triumph over Roma were special.
Ultimately, Liverpool ran into Madrid once again in Kyiv, and Loris Karius produced one of the worst performances in a big game, but it was still a thrilling campaign.
Best league win: Liverpool 4-3 Man City

A campaign that started so badly under Brendan Rodgers eventually saw Klopp arrive and show immediately why he would grow into a legend.

The appointment of the German in October 2015 will forever be a seismic moment in Liverpool’s history, and from that first game at Tottenham, you felt something special was brewing.
It was far from perfect in, but there were high-octane victories away to the likes of Chelsea, Man City, and perhaps most memorably, Norwich.
Gegenpressing, heavy metal football had Arrived and we’d all strapped in for the ride!
There was also the small matter of Klopp reaching the finals of both the League Cupand Europa League in his first half-season.
There was the unforgettable 4-3 win over Borussia Dortmund – one the best nights Anfield has ever witnessed.
Best league win: Norwich 4-5 Liverpool
