Re: Attacking #20

I keep on hearing and reading that "City can go on a run of games" at any point.

Last season, did they manage to string 4 consecutive wins together? Are they better than last season, they currently look worse?

I also disagree with the idea that they were unlucky, ache we were lucky last season - based on the "underlying numbers". We were streets ahead of them last season, they didn't even offer a challenge.

Liverpool are undoubtedly better this season. The players have had another year of Klopp's coaching, they now know how to win the league, age we've made a few very astute signings. City haven't improved. They've stagnated. I'd be far more surprised if city finish above (or even close to) us, than if they manage to finish outside the top 2. I still think they will finish second, as there doesn't seem to be anyone to seriously challenge them. But they don't seem to be closing that gap that we've opened up over the last 12 months+.

Well he's right. We are not close to them!
 
'Boss I think I've done my hamstring'
OK, well go back on, give it 5 minutes and see if you can run it off'
And these idiots complain they have a long injury list.
Their medical team must be terrified of telling klopp about injuries the way they rush players back and play high press every game without rotating.
 
Wow, just wow.

he's lost it. The obsession has cracked him.

There are 6 teams above them, he's not competing with just us btw

Yes, Klopp should have said that God is a West Ham fan or Leicester fan or Villa fan (for Villa would go above them if they won 5 pts from their 3 games in hand.)

Our winning run has seriously rattled him.

At this point Klopp has only himself to blame. By the 70th minute, I was still seeing his team press like dogs, when around this time most other teams are beginning to wind-down their presses to manage the game and fitness. He can say it's bad luck, or that the wind was too strong, but he is showing barely any game management or plan to combat the fixture congestion.
 
What's happening to Liverpool is called regression to the mean.

They were lucky with injuries, opposition keepers throwing the ball in their net, favourable decisions, etc. Now they have no luck. I think they play better than their results suggest but they are paying back the luck they had the previous two seasons. Regression to the mean.
