Is Jurgen Klopp Aiming to Win the Treble with Liverpool in 2021?

Jurgen Klopp is undoubtedly one of the best coaches in the world. After taking Liverpool from being a just-above-average Premier League team to one of, if not the, best teams in the league and, in my opinion, one of the best 2 teams in the world at full fitness, along with the mighty Bayern Munich.

The first sign that Liverpool had, and still have, what it takes to be the best was the 18/19 season, when they had significant victories against Porto, Barcelona, etc. to win the UEFA Champions League. This was followed by the Club World Cup, UEFA Super Cup and finally, Premier League titles.

Liverpool became a monster, and is still sitting at the top of the Premier League, although Manchester United do have the opportunity to pass them when they play Burnley. However, Liverpool would almost certainly have a further margin if it wasn't for injuries to important players. 

Many have returned, but arguably Liverpool's most important player, Virgil van Dijk, is still out, seemingly until the end of the season, and is joined by Joe Gomez, Diogo Jota, Joel Matip and one or two more in the treatment room.

While this is indeed a problem, but Liverpool will have to work through it because they unfortunately have not managed to sign Shuri from Black Panther to be their doctor. However, I would theorize that Jurgen Klopp is aiming to win the Treble with Liverpool, and he wants it sooner rather than later.

It is clear why he would want it, and I would predict that there will be at least one Treble this season, whether it comes to Liverpool, Bayern or Atletico Madrid. Bayern won the Treble under Hansi Flick in the 19/20 season, while Atletico are favorites to win Spain's domestic trophies and Liverpool have held the Premier League and Champions League within the last two seasons alone, and would likely win the FA Cup if they played their best team.

This leads me to my second point on why I think Jurgen Klopp is aiming for a Treble-Winning season; the team selections, most specifically in the Aston Villa game. Liverpool completely annihilated Aston Villa in the FA Cup, the reason being that Liverpool picked about 2/3 of their first team. 

This is highly unusual, because Jurgen Klopp has famously fielded young and inexperienced teams in the FA Cup, not risking his top players getting injured or tired. Then suddenly he takes no risks in the FA Cup, clearly really not wanting to lose, and this makes me feel as if yes, he does want to win the FA Cup this year, but not really for the FA Cup itself; for the Treble.

It all makes perfect sense! If you look at the current odds for teams to claim the respective competitions, Liverpool are tied top (in the case of the Champion's League) if not top outright in each one (EPL and FA Cup) as the team MOST likely to claim the respective titles, and you can see why.

Thanks for returning! Hope you all enjoyed this post and I hope I have convinced you that Liverpool are, indeed, aiming for the Treble. Comment below your thoughts, share my blog with friends, and yeah, see you next time. Noah (>'-')>

    I personally think in these percentages of trebles:
    40%:no treble
    35%: bayern treble
    15%:Liverpool treble
    10%:atletico treble

A Revised History of Ekrizdis, the Evilest Wizard Ever

Image
JK Rowling has written a few brief pieces about the evil Ekrizdis, but has barely scraped the surface of this loathsome character, and has left a lot shrouded by the mists of mystery. An intriguing character, Ekrizdis is the physical form of madness and evil, and today I will attempt to erase a few of the question marks surrounding this creepy character. Firstly, let's go over the little information we have  been given.  He was a Dark inventor who was born somewhere during the fifteenth century. He was traveling the North Sea for an unknown reason when he came across a tiny island, which was basically just a big rock jutting out of the sea. There was no life there, and he decided to become the island's first inhabitant.  After casting sufficient protection charms, he created a huge fortress, which eventually became Azkaban, and resumed his experiments on Muggle sailors who unintentionally passed through his territory. He created many Dark things, most notably Dementors, before

Real Survivor: The Fox, the Bear, the Goat and the Bunny

Image
Survivor fans such as myself are mostly familiar with certain terminology. For example, to be purpled is to be placed in the complete background of a particular editing, to the extent where you are utilized like the shelter or water well, firmly in the background of a lot of scenes without being in the forefront barring something bad happening to you, like the shelter being blown over or the well being contaminated. Perhaps the first bit of terminology that has a unique meaning is to be a goat, or someone who is used like an extra vote by another player or group of players. However, where the name "Goat" actually came from is something many fans, even hardcore ones, do not know the answer to. They would point to where someone like Ethan Zohn said it in early seasons and credit it to them. The person who actually coined this term is SurvivorSucks user sunsawed, whose article can be found here . Basically, he stated that most Survivor final fours consist of four different playe

Survivor 41 Cast: Most Similar Player - Part 2

Image
To find out my criteria, etc. please check out Part 1. Please share my post with your friends and without further ado, let's head right in. Danny McCray - Brad Culpepper  I really think Danny is going to end up having been one of the underrated players on this cast. So many people (including me) anticipated a big strong oaf who would boss challenges but portray "the emotional range of a teaspoon" to quote Hermione Granger. This was something most also thought would be true of Brad Culpepper, but both seem emotionally and mentally intelligent as well as being huge Survivor fans, and I think Danny will likely play a game similar to Brad's Game Changers performance, especially if he can survive the first post-merge vote. Naseer Muttalif - Johnathan Penner  Why he was predicted for a first boot I do not know. This prediction is looking a bit more into the future, but I definitely see at least one flip coming from Naseer. I think he will turn out as a above-par player who
