Didn't think it could happen but I actually sort of like Ozil now.

You see this is a huge problem. It's great to be good in big games but the disparity is small. We are the best but the worst of the top 6 is just 5 point differential.

Whereas the minnows, we are 16 points worse off that Chelsea.

It's really annoying.

 

[Magma]

hang on, 2 weeks ago they had absolutely no way for us to get into the top 4.

it's all just guessing.

 

[jod23]

And yeah right now I think the top four will be Chelsea, Spurs, Arsenal and City.

Unless we can somehow revert to how we played in 2016 then we're up shit creek.

It is danger time for Liverpool. Fall much further behind and you're starting to run out of time to fight you're way back into it.

I think Spurs, Arsenal and City in the next five. You'd really be looking at 5 points minimum from those games. Plus wins in the other two.

It's not the big games we struggle in though. It's against the shit teams.

The manager had to cop the blame for that. He's not getting his tactics right. One thing that he has been criticised on is not having a plan b when his team gets bogged down.

And didn't we come within a whisker of winning the title in Rodgers' 2nd season (half of which is included within this sample)?

Haha if this is supposed to be making a point, it's not a very good one. It was Rodgers' last 54 games that were the issue, not the first 54.

Perhaps the point is that the next 54 games for Klopp could be just as bad.

Not sure why so many people like to compare Klopps start compared to other people when he was pretty much the caretaker.

We had Kev Stewart and Chirivella as a midfield at one point because Klopp wanted to assess the whole squad.

Your last month and a half must have been a big assessment of the squad then.

Yeah we've been shit the last month because we haven't found a solution to anti-football.

That makes Klopp look worse tbh. Rodgers was genuinely in a title fight in those first 54 games. Can the same be said for Klopp?

That's a very simplistic way of looking at things.

Has Klopp been found out?

When Rodgers got sacked he had Liverpool in 10th spot.

Klopp can't just come in almost mid way through the season snap his fingers and make us 1st. Too much ground to surmount.

Has Klopp been found out?

The current gameplan & formation has been found out. He needs to change things up a bit.

Seems his 'rock n roll' football is very taxing. He desperately needs a deeper squag too.

The impact of Suarez on Rodgers' success at Liverpool can't be underestimated.

I wonder if he could wind that in a bit, not go at 100 miles an hour for the full 90 minutes. It would still be effective if they could turn it off and on at times during a match. Maybe a bit more sustainable too.
