Re: Liverpool
This is likely to be the style of Liverpool's season though I think - great highs but some poor performances too. Maybe one after the other.
It's why it's called heavy metal football.

Re: Liverpool
So Klopp has been at the club a year now.
I have to admit I really like him. He comes across as incredibly passionate, disarmingly amusing and candid in his opinions. I can imagine that he is a fantastic motivator. And in the relatively short time he has had at the club, it seems to be working. Mane seems to be the key player, which I think is a shrewd move because for a season or two they were reliant on Sturridge. In all honesty I wouldn't be surprised if he's sold because he doesn't seem to be a Klopp sort of player - too surly and self-centred.
There are obviously concerns over the defence, but right now, having already been to Arsenal, Chelsea and Spurs, they have to be strong contenders for a CL spot, if not a shot at the title.

Worryingly they certainly are title contenders - he's ahead of schedule, for me, too.

Re: Liverpool
He seems to have turned James Milner into a bonafide leftback as well, but it's Lallana that seems to have improved beyond all recognition. Relentless work ethic and now adding goals to his game.

Re: Liverpool
Lallana is the best English midfield player at present - maybe Alli is close - and I'm sure he'll only continue to improve.

Re: Liverpool
There isn't a better side to watch than Liverpool right now. That front three is phenomenal.

Re: Liverpool
They were excellent - Chelsea & Liverpool are head and shoulders above the rest on current form.

Re: Liverpool
So they didn't beat Southampton at Anfield because the 'pitch was too dry'.
Of course.

Re: Liverpool
And in the first shocks of the season, Liverpool thump Bayern and Surridge comes off the bench and scores.
And in other news, he immediately went off injured.

Re: Liverpool
Absolute nonsense.
2 players racing onto a 50/50 ball from opposite directions and one player chooses to go in with his foot head high?
He might have had his eyes on the ball, he might not have intended to hurt the keeper but he knew he was there - any suggestions that is not dangerous play of the worst kind and not worthy of a red card is talking utter bollocks.
Including Gary Neville.

Liverpool could have been 2 or 3 up in the first 15 minutes but lose 5-0.

What you guys said. Only reason for his foot to be that high is because he knows the keeper is coming - and it's very dangerous play.
