It was awesome wasn't it - the big danger I guess would be if they started to believe that such results come easy and complacency sets in - but with JK I cannot see that happening. As he said after the MCFC game it was not perfect - the defending for the first 20 minutes looked very shaky - but we were so ruthless up front it was fantastic. Be warned tho even NUFC on Sunday will be hard - there are no easy games in the PL.

The big dilemma now is what team to play as we have so many players with a good case to start. I think the truth is that we will rotate quite a bit - and I think the players will accept that as they seem a united happy bunch right now. Also I do not think we need to buy many if any in January - which is what JK has always said - and he is generally right and also honest in his public pronouncements.”

Klopp is proving to be an amazing appointment, and probably the most exciting managerial one in the prem league since .. Well I can't even think who has brought this much excitement to a club and to neutral fans... As for no easy games in the prem, true, but you couldn't ask for closer to easy than NewcAstle at the mo...

For a little while now, we've suited as a team, playing a counter-attacking style, and in most games at home, we'll have most of the possession, which makes it harder to play on the counter, and use the pace and passing ability we have.

We don't have that little bit of creativity that's required in the games at home where we have possession.

Coutinho, Firmino and Lallana are all capable of providing it, but if they're off their game it's easy to keep us quiet...

Wow, just seen your score, that is an impressive victory, you certainly are up there with Leicester as the most in form teams currently.

Presumably you'll be off soon enough to post snide remarks about Liverpool in another thread, or elsewhere. The vast majority of the forum can see right through posts such as that.

No, I won't be, and was there any reason to post such a thing on a rival teams thread?

I was just saying how impressive they have been since Klopp has taken over, there is no hidden message, or snide remarks coming.

My post was a positive appraisal of the situation, and as things stand they have looked very good so far.

After tonight's performance I'll ask the same question I asked last week.

Can Liverpool win the league this season?

Mathematically? Yes.

Realistically? No.

Top four and a cup win and I'd be over the moon.

It is looking more and more like Klopp was the missing link, He seems to be able to get the best out of our average players something Rodgers couldn't do, Suarez made Rodgers look like he knew what he was doing but Klopp seems to be the real deal, I am feeling really positive for LFC's future now.

A six point gap with 14 ganes gone and no more travels to our traditional rivals suggests you may be exercising cautious pessimism rather than our chances being truly unrealistic.

I can see us picking a lot of points away from home ftom hereon in so if we can find a fotnula at hone against packed defences, we've got a fighting chance. Let's enjoy the ride and see where it takes us I guess.

Yes, because you've done it many, many times before. Posters like ChristmasCake had you sussed out long before I did.

I didn't want to jinx us before the game, but we are so much better away from home than at Anfield, I was quietly confident that we would win easily.

Newcastle away next, and if we're in any kind of form we've shown against City and Saints, it could be a mauling.

Turns out the signings Rodgers made were pretty decent but his management style wasn't.

We're certainly in a purple patch at the moment, aren't we? My worry now (I like to have something to worry about) is over confidence. I get the feeling Klopp is the kind to keep his feet firmly on the ground and will make sure the team are the same but the media is going to keep talking us up and some supporters are going to start buying into the idea that suddenly we're the best team on the planet!

That said we do look a totally different side under Klopp and right now I agree with Parthenon that top 4 and some silverware would be a good, achievable goal for the season. Anything more will be a real bonus.

If you want something to worry about I would start with the performance of Sturridge. He comes back and looks instantly great. I don't think his actual talent in a red shirt was ever in doubt but how long before you get used to him being back and he gets injured again?

Good point, but we will just have to take whatever we can get from Sturridge when we can, we have been doing OK without him, and I'm sure Klopp will adjust accordingly. One things for sure, he's not for sale anytime soon, hopefully his injury history will keep the big teams away from him, and he'll be OK by being handled with a team he has trust in.

Sussed out??

I was just trying to be complimentary towards Liverpool, that was it, no hidden meaning, no snide remarks on any other thread, the post was there to be read as I had intended it to be read.
Why must there be negative connotations just because it is I that have wrote it?
Can I not just write a simple post saying congratulations, without being attacked for doing so?

He did something similar against Villa, scored two goals, then was out for ages, it must be hard for any manager to really plan too far ahead with him, as he breaks down so often.
The best thing to do might be to plan games without him, and then if he is fit, think of that as a bonus, and then try and work him into the managers tactics.
He is a superb player, no doubt about that, but can he and Benteke really play together at the same time?
If Liverpool can find a way, then they will have a very potent strikeforce.

Why are you doing it though? Its pointless tokenism because you will be back slagging them off in other threads and through social media. There is just no need for it. If you want to discuss Liverpool its up to the Liverpool fans on here to decide whether they want to do so with you given your Heysel Tweeting but that's different to patting them on the head with a patronising "well done" whilst metaphorically turning and winking to your classmates.

I saw a stat which showed he had missed more games than he played in since signing for Liverpool which must be scary, I guess you just ride the wave for as long as possible and hope he stays fit knowing in the back of your mind that there needs to be a Plan B just in case.

Why am I been complimentary towards Liverpool? Because they deserve it that is why, they have been playing very well, and getting some tremendous results as of late.

I a not being patronising at all, just honest, no-one can deny that they have been doing well as of late, and that Klopp really has turned things around in spectacular fashion.

He has changed the whole feeling around the club, and the players have responded in the best way imaginable so far.

Is Benteke that plan B, or is such an expensive transfer plan A?
When fit Sturridge and Benteke with Coutinho just behind is a scary proposition to try and defend against I woukd say, it is just trying to get Sturridge fit for any lengthy period of time there, if that is possible, then I would say Liverpool would have the best pair of strikers in the league.
