In a surprising twist to the season, football pundit Gary Neville has expressed his astonishment at Liverpool's remarkable performance, labeling them as 'unbelievable.' This commentary follows Liverpool's recent 1-0 victory against arch-rivals Everton, with Diogo Jota netting the decisive goal.

With this win, Liverpool has surged to a substantial 12-point lead over Arsenal at the pinnacle of the Premier League, with just eight matches left to play. Many, including Neville himself, had anticipated a downturn for the club after the departure of their esteemed manager Jurgen Klopp last year. However, Liverpool has risen to new heights, amassing 22 league victories and a staggering 70 goals—far more than any other team in the league.

Contrary to expectations, Neville has dismissed notions that Liverpool's recent setbacks, including a defeat to Newcastle in the Carabao Cup final and an early exit from the Champions League, would tarnish their league ambitions. In his remarks on Sky Sports, he emphasized, "I'm stunned at where Liverpool are. We cannot rewrite history and label this season as half-disappointing due to those losses. This is an unbelievable season."

He also drew a comparison between Klopp and current manager Arne Slot, acknowledging the significant praise Slot has garnered for his transformative impact on the team. "Taking over from a legendary personality like Klopp, who was adored by the fans, made it seem inevitable that there would be a decline. I thought the players wouldn't respond as well to a new coach. Yet, Slot's calm and composed demeanor has proven to be exactly what Liverpool needed this season. Credit goes both to the management for their choice and, importantly, to the manager and the players for their dedication."

Neville noted the professionalism displayed by Liverpool during the Everton fixture, commending their ability to manage the game effectively, particularly after finding the net. "While it wasn't a spectacular performance, the important part was their professionalism. After they scored, they managed the game outstandingly well. They understand now that the title is within reach, and maintaining focus will be crucial."

As Liverpool prepares for their next encounter against Fulham on Sunday, they stand on the brink of championship glory, needing just 13 more points to secure the title. Fans and analysts alike are eager to witness if Liverpool can seal the deal and complete what has undoubtedly been a stunning season.
