posiciones de liverpool fc change? How Liverpools standing moved this season

Right so let me tell you how I actually figured out what’s going on with Liverpool’s standing this season because honestly, all the noise online just confused me more.

Started with feeling annoyed

Kept seeing headlines everywhere – “Liverpool collapse!” or “Title charge back on!” after single games. Felt like nonsense. Needed to see the actual shifts myself, week by week. Grabbed my notebook – yeah, actual pen and paper – and my trusty, kinda slow laptop.

Scraping the data myself

First thing I did? Went straight to the Prem table page week by week on my browser. Didn’t trust anyone else’s graphs. Started right from game week one.

  • Opened a spreadsheet – just a simple Google Sheet.
  • Made columns: Date, Game Week, Position, Points, Gap to Top.
  • Manually entered Liverpool’s position after EVERY single game week. Took ages, clicking back through old pages, squinting at the table.

Made mistakes too! Entered the wrong position for week 14, spent 10 minutes confused why the points didn’t match my memory of the Brentford game. Had to double-check that match date.

Seeing the pattern shift

Slowly, clicking ‘enter’ over and over, the picture started forming:

  • Strong start: Sitting pretty around 4th early on, just hovering near the top without quite grabbing 1st.
  • That wobble in December/January: Man United draw, Arsenal loss… boom! Suddenly bouncing between 5th and 7th in the table. Points gap widening, felt grim.
  • Klopp’s leaving announcement effect? Seriously, right after he dropped the bombshell… long unbeaten run started kicking in. Week after week, climbing.
  • Slow grind back up: Notebook filling up, arrows drawn from 7th to 5th, to 4th, to 3rd… points gap shrinking.

Literally stared at the screen when I realised they’d jumped from 4th to 2nd after smashing Chelsea. Had to re-check the league site. Twice.

Calculator became my best friend

The points gap? Crucial. So started tracking that too against the leader every week:

  • November: Like 5 points off top. Manageable.
  • January low point: Uh oh. 10 points back? Felt like miles.
  • Mid-February: Whittling away… down to 6 points. Hope?
  • Now: 2 points? Madness.

Actually laughed out loud at how tight it got. Used my phone’s calculator constantly – “Right, if they win and City drop points here, gap could be…”. Simple math, but seeing the possibilities felt real.

The messy final picture

So here’s the actual journey, straight from my scribbled notes and spreadsheet rows:

Position Rollercoaster: High of 1st briefly early on? Think that was like week… maybe 3? Mostly floated 2nd-4th early season. Then tanked to 7th and 8th in the New Year slump. Fought back relentlessly to claim 1st? Actually no! Hit 1st just briefly before Arsenal, then dropped back to 2nd where they sit now, breathing down City and Arsenal’s necks. Insane swings.

Points Gap Tells the Story: Started within a couple points of top. Fell off a cliff mid-season – double digits back! Biggest gut punch. Now clawed back to being right THERE, within touching distance thanks to others slipping up. Shows you can recover.

End of the day? Doing this myself made it crystal clear. Headlines scream disaster or triumph every week. But just slowly tracking their actual league position week-by-week? Shows you the real fight, the slips, the incredible climb back. Simple, boring work. But totally worth it. Makes you appreciate the madness of the Prem! Should do this every season honestly.
