Exactly. Good progress continues to be made under Klopp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serious challengers for the title with the budgets of the 3 above I'm not so sure but a big threat under Klopp.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotThePars Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 It's interesting because Liverpool are probably where they feasibly should be but the problems they have are so glaring that you can spot it within minutes of watching them.

Ira Gaines Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Saying "ah, fourth is fine" just doesn't cut it. They had glaring problems and didn't rectify them. And they've had them problems for years. This isn't a thing that has sneaked up on Klopp and surely people have to ask serious questions of this.

Â i genuinely think the penny has dropped now though, there is only so far you can go iwth players like lovren etc they'll always cost you a game and it is bizarre we never sorted it in the summer but it didn't surprise me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He / they also rectified glaring problems like lack of depth, back up for Mane and he even needed a new left back and guess what happened there? Got to admire that first and foremost Klopp looks to work with what he's got. Another few windows for him / them and he could have some side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same stupid points are being dropped in the same stupid ways and they find themselves in a similar position to last season. They simply have to focus on the defence, if not in January, then in the summer. They could seriously challenge if they did so, regardless of budgets, because they'd be good enough to take on any side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's definitely made progress in particular coping with balancing Champions League football and the league for the first time.  It's clear he wants Van Djik and I wouldn't be surprised if they try and break the bank for him in January. Don't expect anyone else though. Also don't expect that that'll be all defensive problems solved either it's so hard to get the balance right between attack and defence especially when so attack minded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotThePars Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 The problems Liverpool have has been apparent for years. They remind me of City a couple of years back when they were overloaded with attacking options but so glaringly poor at the back. You can praise Liverpool for adding more depth to the squad but I don't think that was the first thing that needed addressed even if it has been dealt with well.

8MileBU Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Chelsea cruising tonight They look so much more of a threat when Willian and Pedro play. Quick and busy players. Hazard’s been their only forward player with a bit of pace the last couple of games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
