Liverpool 2016/17

Me too - and a domestic treble.
Unfortunately they do look like the real thing this "year".

So far.

Liverpool will be in the mix certainly for top four (likewise Chelsea) but looking at their squad, a couple of undeniable talents aside, I find myself questioning if they're performing above themselves at the moment and as the season wears on, will they be able to sustain it. Unfortunately I felt exactly the same about Leicester last year.

Let's hope they're not on the beetroot and pizza diet.

They are indeed so I put a few bob on them at 9/1 to soften the blow if the worst happens.

They're at 3/1 and second favourites now.

Klopp has done a good job.

Klopp has done a good job.

So far. Didn't do much last season and it's early days this, the test will be whether he's done good enough work in the transfer market and on the training ground to enable them to keep their current tempo up for enough of the season. Rodgers tried it with a deeper squad and a far superior front three and the wheels still came off.

2nd best manager in the Premier League for me.

Nope. Koeman, Pochettino and Conte fill out the top 4 along with Guardiola imo. Still not convinced by Klopp, I want to see him replicate his Dortmund success with a different club and better opposition than a Bayern recovering from LVG first.

This isn't true aguero......we were a lot stronger in the 2nd half of the season and won 11 games on the bounce from February just to get in a position to win the League. Won 12 out of the last 14, but were 5th in February, so winning those games just made up the gap, we never got away from you. In any normal season, 37 points from last 42 would have been enough.
As you can tell, I'm still absolutely gutted about it and its been 2 and a half years!!!!!!
I really want to believe this year, but it's that hope which kills you, so trying not to look too far ahead. Just enjoying the fact we are dynamite at the moment.

As for Klopp being behind those other managers, tactically I wouldn't disagree, all of them are control freaks, organised, plan to minute details, coach from the sides etc, Klopp is more chaotic, takes more risks and trusts in us just being better.

Wheels fell off against Palace and Chelsea though and you don't have players on the same level now.

Don't know what you're gutted about, you won it in April :)

I know that, I've only watched the season review up to the Norwich away game, DVD cuts out after that!! :-)

Any free candles or t shirts with it? ;)

You cruised in, after all Stevie said after you clinched the title at home to City, that you must not let this slip now.

There should have been!!!!!!!

Cheers Buddy, I feel better now. :-)

Interesting one this Liverpool side.

Despite them having no European football, playing in their words some amazing football, beaten Chelsea , Arsenal and drawn at spurs and had their manager there longer than the likes of us Chelsea and united, they still don't find themselves top of the league.

The games between the top sides this season are going to be crucial - Klopp seems to get it consistently right in these games. That gives them a big chance

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Title is between City, Liverpool and Chelsea. Arsenal 4th, Spurs 5th, Rags and Everton fighting for Europa. Liverpool and Chelsea with no European football are a big threat to us.

After last season, you can't count anyone out (except manyooo).
Title will be between City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and Spurs.
All are equally capable of winning it.
Be interesting to see how we fare against the other 4, after losing at Spurs.

I hope we never let these ****s win the league. I think if they got any more bitter, Merseyside would fall into the Irish sea.

I'm not arsed so long as City or Arsenal don't get near winning a European Cup. Especially City, their fans don't deserve it.

City fans are appalling.

Well that was shite. Hate man city. Formed 10 years ago.

Plastic flags out at City

City are horrible side

Very fake

I could never support them. They have basically given a billion quid to get there name on a trophy a couple of times. That's what it cost to engrave.

Fans are shit, sing songs that's belong in division one. Flags, streamers and fireworks.

Its all so plastic.

Atmosphere seemed faked tonight

Has anyone asked Guardiola his thoughts on Shaun Goater, Nicky Summerbee and Alf Inge Haaland?

No course not. It's like they've erased everything prior to being taken over.

I bet 90 percent of that stadium couldn't tell you what maine road is, never mind point you in the direction.

I hate them, and especially on a night like tonight.

City fans really are poor.

when that third went in and the camera panned to the crowd.

the amount of gormless tossers not even clapping was ridiculous.

I hope we never let these ****s win the league. I think if they got any more bitter, Merseyside would fall into the north sea.

Hate them more than United, I despise them. Ironic that a few of them try make out we've attracted glory hunters over the years, Liverpool and united have millions of the ****s. Never understood the glory hunter jibe aimed at city from either Liverpool or united fans.
