We have a tough start, 4 out of 5 away from home, with Arsenal, Spurs, Chelsea and Leicester in that. Could end up 8 or 9 points adrift straight away. Also, some stupid fixture scheduling in pre-season. Why add Roma and Mainz and flog the players more than necessary???? The high-pressing will be easier this year with no Europe. We were constantly playing last season, but get more rest this time and more preperation time. Transfers are underwhelming, lost a lot of the squad, injuries already, doesn't look great. Having said that, this is definitely our year!!!!!!!!!

I think they can and will start very strong but the high intensity pressing game they play can't be kept up for the season
The advantage Klopp had at Dortmund that he won't have at Liverpool was a six-week mid-season break. Yes, there were friendlies before the Bundesliga resumed, but it's not like playing at high intensity right through the busy Christmas / New Year period and all of January.
As you say, it will be very difficult to keep up that high pressing game for nine months, rather than two four-month periods with a six week break.

What's happening with Sakho? Without him you look very light at the back. Moreno makes Kolarov look world class and Lovren is inconsistent.We have a tough start, 4 out of 5 away from home, with Arsenal, Spurs, Chelsea and Leicester in that.

Mane looks like he'll fit in well though.

Johnny Woodgate is their new Spanish scout.
Good move for the lad, hope he fails.
