Hate them with a passion but I'm not gonna lie, I am a bit worried about them this season. Very strong and if this is them playing poorly...

Good to see the Dippers winning. Keeps the hype and expectation on them and with the extra games going into the Knockout stages of the CL then we'll see if they can sustain that style of play.

The downside is the nauseating Dipper love-in but even that creates its own pressure.

I prefer our current position. Strong, consistent, off the radar, pounce when the time is right. Let them enjoy the hype, we'll see how they handle adversary

Interesting why you say they are playng poorly. They had 9 pre-season games which I think was more than any of the other contenders whilst having one of the least number of players getting to the latter stages. Maybe their poor play may actually be their better play?

We'll see, of course, but I think it s us that are playing catch-up with regard to play and we've got quite a few gears to go through yet.

Hope so.

They are very much a kick and rush team and getting away with it at the moment. Reminds me of the rags a few years back smashing the ball in at every opportunity playing the numbers game. Sooner or later one drops on the penny.

Would like to see us do to them what we did to Chelsea (and every other team) last season.

I do not understand how they can be serious contenders for honours as they have no creativity in midfield.
That will be their undoing.
(and over reliance on Salah).
They remind me of England I.e. no midfield creativity.

the scouse still leak goals, especially when holding a lead. They were lucky not draw vs spurs last game. They'll be in the top 3 this year, but klopp is too emotionally unstable for his teams to be consistent.


Klopp isn't emotionally unstable , he's just a nutter


I'm having a hard time imagining a nutter who's not emotionally unstable

Really? I thought last season their last match in the Champions League ended in defeat? Or are we re-writing history AGAIN!?

Brilliant :lol:

The support behind them from the media is absolutely huge.

They really want the old Liverpool back.

I heard twice the other day, from pundits and commentators, about their "most potent strike force on the planet".

So strange these experts can't do simple homework before going to work.

If they did, they'd see that sane, sterling and aguero scored more league goals than the dippers front 3.

It is not that they can't, it is because they don't want to. Things like this reflect the politics behind the group they work for.

They may not have creativity in midfield but they sure will have more than a few refs playing for them in midfield and that's a bigger worry.

Personally I think they were more feared when Suarez was playing - everyone was afraid of catching rabies.

He was also a victim.....everyone in dipper land told us so.
