This is a dynasty defining three weeks

The next three weeks could build a dynasty for Liverpool the likes of which haven’t been seen of Merseyside for decades.

Victory over West Ham might have come late, ugly and via a thousand nervous breakdowns but nevertheless it still arrived. Georginio Wijnaldum opened the scoring in front of the Anfield masses before Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane did the rest as they begun the first 21 days of the rest of our lives.

All it’ll take is the time Jordan Henderson needs to get over a busted hamstring and Liverpool will have built a dynasty that’s going to be very hard to stop.

Because in the next three weeks, the Reds could be two wins closer to the Premier League title, in the next round of the FA Cup and through to the quarter-finals of the Champions League. How about that?

Continued success across three competitions is what it takes to craft an empire from nothing. Sir Alex Ferguson’s Manchester United side are whispered about because they managed the treble. Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal went down in history for their unbeaten league season. Jurgen Klopp could do both.

Imagine the clammer for world class players to join Anfield if Klopp managed to go one better than two of the most successful managers in the game? To take both their crowning achievements and morph it into one, one that is uniquely Liverpool’s?

The German has extended his stay at Anfield, his football is unbeatable, the players never give up manage to twist any situation to their will.

Last season needed silverware to turn doubters into believers and show the squad that their hard work would be rewarded. This campaign is going to be the manifestation of that, and it can be set in stone over the next three weeks.

And after that? Who knows. But another dynasty is on the cards.
