Seems like there's as many United fans saying that as there are Liverpool. Still that's not the same as saying we're going to win the league.
Jurgen Klopp Sack Watch
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Can you show us a single post were a pool fan has said this.
We're enjoying the football and we're going in the right direction but thats just about it.
You won't get me saying it after your performance Monday night.
Liverpool are well placed and have a good chance but the league is already shaping up like last season. None of the big boys wanting to take grip of it. Your best chance in years I reckon.
That's true.
This forum has a bad habit of overrating everything our rivals do. I still remember posters wanting Conte over Jose due to Chelsea scoring a last min winner v West fecking Ham.
Eh? Have a look at the top five. Which of those isn't a 'big boy?'
And, yes, Liverpool are exactly like Leicester. Except for the 18 titles.
If Monday was Liverpool's low point then I can live with that. Played a good team who came for the draw and stopped Liverpool playing well. However, two things on this: 1) You don't have to play well 38 times to challenge for the league so a poor display isn't particularly concerning; 2) United are probably the best proponent of that kind of containing football in the league given the quality of the manager and players. West Bron attempted to sit deep but couldn't contain or control like United did. Others will likely come unstuck as well.
Liverpool are accumulating points against all sorts of teams this season and it's not being built on a particular star player, which suggests it's more sustainable if injuries hit.
Very encouraging.
I still think injuries could have a big impact on us. As you say we were poor on Monday and our midfield looked ineffective without Lallana and Wijnaldum. We'll lose Mane in January as well to the ACON, and the only game we've lost in the league was the one Mane missed.
Still a long way to go though. I think there's six teams that are capable of winning it.
More Premier Leagues though
Liverpool and Spurs aren't big boys.
I'd of thought the West Brom game would have dispelled the myth that United came to Anfield and simply sat deep. They didn't. You only have to look at the match facts to see that.

I didn't say they sat deep. I said West Brom did. I praised United.
Quite. In recent weeks this forum has been full of United fans saying we've a better chance at the league than their side this season...although 814 of them thought United would win the league before the season started in the PL predictions poll, so what do they know.

Yep same here.
They're gonna clean sweep the domestic treble aren't they?
No.
They're going to go all the way to another final and lose it aren't they
Less European Cups though.
Since we lost to United on 17th January we've played 18 games at Anfield in all competitions, winning 13 and drawing 5. He's done a great job of making Anfield a difficult ground for the opposition to come and get something.
Passion, conte was doing that and I reckon a few before have too. All managers fight for their side.
Let's see if this causes as much of a stir with the resident knob heads as the Mou/Conte thread.
Good, it means that Poch cares that he lost. Which makes the win even sweeter. 
He might want to cut out his mini-Special One press conference antics though. There's only one Special One.

Of course he should care that he loses. Do you think everyone gives up like Hodgson does? :PGood, it means that Poch cares that he lost. Which makes the win even sweeter.
Nice idea Jurgen but I think Alec has made it clear that he's retired for good now
I had to reread that three times.
Everyone is pulling themselves off over Klopp at the moment but they were doing the same for Pep until a few games ago and have done the same over even Rodgers in the past.
It's a long season, and I don't think Liverpool have the squad depth or the overall quality to win this. If they do then fair fecks to Klopp as it's an amazing achievement.

I am still not sure what Klopp meant. Was he referring to managing our Ladies' team ?I had to reread that three times.
Couldn't agree more. However, I think Klopp's tactics suit the PL pretty well.
You should read it like 'as Liverpool manager, am I allowed to say I like SAF'.
I should have added a smilie
I still like the idea of Klopp asking him to manage our Ladies' Team though Who knows what the season will bring but don't quite get the squad depth argument. On Tuesday they made 11 changes and were very dangerous looking - far more potent looking than Spurs. Sturridge and Origi are very strong bench warmers especially when you consider the other big sides' options up front.
Plus, with no Europe Klopp has deliberately trimmed the squad. It's well-balanced given no Europe. How much depth do you actually need? I'd say the only position absent of proper back-up is at full back.
They'll eventually collapse. We're still only in October & League position & performances matter very little at this stage in time.
The best sides peak in the 2nd half of the season.
I agree. I also think Liverpool will peak later in the season.
You mean like Chelsea two seasons ago?
"Performances don't matter at this stage", please. Your posts concerning oppo teams are awful.
Indeed. Mourinho has been very successful by starting seasons like a train. Point gathering in the autumn can be crucial in building momentum.
They don't have the best Sun readers.
Calm down people.
It would be a huge surprise if Liverpool managed to win the league and it should still be considered very, very unlikely. In other words, they won't.
Also I haven't read any Liverpool fans here claiming they will.
Without any doubt though Liverpool fans can be proud of their team, their manager, and the football that they are playing.

He can end the drought. Will it be this season? I think not but for sure they are building. A front 3 of Coutinho, Firminho and Mane is exciting. If they could sign a top striker and a top cm and lb they will do well. They are certainly entertaining to watch
The 3 points you can get in MD 1 count just as much as those from MD 38. The teams who usually challenge for the title produce good performances over a full season, a good 2nd half doesn't cut it.
