Tom Werner, left, has been chairman of Liverpool for nine yearsLiverpool chairman Tom Werner says he is having to "pinch himself" to believe the standards being set by Jurgen Klopp's team this season. The Reds have surged into a 22-point lead at the top of the Premier League, dropping only two points from their opening 25 games. "I am pinching myself, but we haven't done the job yet," said Werner. The Liverpool boss stayed away from Anfield in protest at the replay being staged during the Reds' winter break from the Premier League. "We all have to look at the calendar," said Werner, after emerging from a three-hour Premier League shareholders' meeting, which was attended by representatives of all 20 top-flight clubs.
