Here is where Liverpool’s season rank with the best of all time?

Liverpool are currently placed second in the Premier League log one point adrift of leaders Man City after defeating Burnley 4-2 on Sunday to keep their dream of beating the Citizens to the Premier League silverware.

And their performance after 30 matches in the 2018-19 season have seen Liverpool equally their joint-best campaign in English topflight.

Reacting after the match against Burnley Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp told the BBC that the result will keep the pressure on Premier League leaders Manchester City.

"Our message for today is that nobody gets rid of us if we play as we played today, because we had the perfect mixture of fighting the opponent, fighting the circumstances and playing football," Klopp said, even as he was quick to dismiss claims the Reds were giving up the title chase after a run of two wins in five EPL matches - including the Merseyside barren draw with Everton.

"We did not have problems with confidence after the Everton game," he said.

"You don't have to think that all that you write has an influence on us - it's not like that, most of the things are not interesting to us, that's the truth. So you make a big fuss when we score five and we are the best attacking side in the world, then we scored nil and we have an offensive problem."

A further breakdown of stats revealed that it was only in 1892-93 campaign out of eight seasons that Liverpool's 73 points was not enough to top or joint top of the EPL log ( even if you change past tables to three points for a win).

In 2011-12, Manchester United emerged the only club with 73 points or more after 30 matches and yet fail to win the league - with city rivals Man City toppling them on goals.

Interestingly, Liverpool's total point haul of 73 after 30 league matches is the Reds joint highest, level with the 1904-05 second tier and the 1987-88 First Division.

Although, Liverpool have not won the English title since 1989-90, before the Premier League was reformed.

Klopp's side claimed a 4-2 win but did not see the game as a missed opportunity to improve their goal difference. They are presently behind City with one point and seven goals.

"We only needed three points - of course goal difference is important as well but what can you do?" he said.

"To score as many goals as possible, that's what we tried. We could have defended better, but that's not possible,” Klopp submitted.

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase. The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism. To distinguish this type of poetry we have to refer back to the concept of appropriation we introduced earlier. At the simplest and basic level, the cultural mandate of possessing a people’s piece of the earth involves a mental and emotional homecoming within the physical environment. Poems like Brew’s ‘‘Dry season”, Okara’s “Call of the River Nun”, Nicol’s “The meaning of Africa” and Soyinka’s “Season”, to give a few examples,

The pioneering phase of African Poetry

The pioneering phase We have called the first phase that of the pioneers. But since the phrase “pioneer poets” has often been used of writers of English expression like Osadebay, Casely-Hayford and Dei-Anag, we should point out that our “pioneer phase” also includes Negritude poets of French expression. The poetry of this phase is that of writers in “exile” keenly aware of being colonials, whose identity was under siege. It is a poetry of protest against exploitation and racial discrimination, of agitation for political independence, of nostalgic evocation of Africa’s past and visions of her future. However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
