Our main threat this year.

Yes I agree. They have no Euro football, that is a big help.

Basically, I hope that they cannot sustain this high press style and blow-up around March/April, but they are going well and have a great team spirit. They really seem to enjoy playing for Klopp who has a laid-back style with some comedy moments usually involving his glasses (contrast that with Utd's players and Mourinho!)

One strange thing from yesterday's match. They possibly lack strength in depth and I think I'm right that 5 yellows = a ban yes? Did Firmino get a yellow card for shirt removal when the 4th goal was scored? if so, he needs a bollicking for that. Silly card.

(Did Sergio get a yellow in May 2012? I'd say thats about the only time such daftness could be excused!)

We could invade the pitch if we wanted and the club wouldn't cooperate to identify offenders, or something similar. Basically fuck off, the same as UEFA got when they wanted to charge the club over booing the anthem.

I'm not even going to deny, that we are a totally over-emotional fanbase, probably why Klopp is so perfect for us. Football to me is all about being carried away one minute and shitting it the next. I've never understood people who are rationale and calm about their team, so many fans talk about stats and formations, analytical, clinical, unemotional, thinking with the brain. Football should be about the heart, being ecstatic at big wins, being gutted at losing any game, first and foremost,we can talk tactics afterwards. At this moment we are dreaming, full of bravado and think we have chance, in a couple of weeks we may be 6 points behind and wondering if we've f**ked it up again and then we will have calmed down.

are you saying that playing with heart and being emotional are the same thing? Not sure I'd agree - though I would agree it is hard (maybe even impossible?) to play with heart whilst denying emotion...through which the thinking can become a bit 'dry' rather than inspirational, boring rather than genuinely enjoyable...

I'm sure every City fan would agree with that.

Would you say you were "uniquely" over-emotional?.

Sorry mate but we can't have opposition fans coming on here and talking sense ;)

Agree with that post almost entirely, although I'm of the mindset that it's always going to go tits up which is kind of indicative of a lot of City fans around my age. I'm sure many of the younger pups in our support go into games with a lot more confidence than the likes of me.

Can't argue with that but with City it tends to be getting carried away for one minute and shitting it for the other 89. ;-)

You look great going forward but I think any success is dependent on Coutinho staying fit - without his creativity your attack will find it hard to make up for that porous defence. It's telling that your only Prem clean sheet so far was against the team from the Nil-Nil Arena.

Said all along that you can't discount them as a title rival. The lack of European football is huge and enables them sufficient recovery for their high pressing game.

Let's hope they go a long way in the domestic cup competitions than (preferably not winning them ofcourse). Start with to extra games in January if they get to the LC semis.
