I can see a difference in our team already.


I think that's just the burst of enthusiasm and players trying to impress the new manager...

Yes I was pleasantly surprised with Lallana. After the Arsenal game earlier this season I could see that the whole team could play totally better with a little push in the right direction.

Hope Emre Can will keep up this form transformation that we've seen so far under Klopp.

Here's hoping that Sturridge and Benteke wait until after the 31st to recover.

Best not to risk them, I reckon. You know how injury prone they are.

I was never big on both of them playing together unless we needed it in a big match. One on the bench just in case would be good. That's why it sucks even more to have Ings out for the season.


As much of a good player as Benteke is, I'm still not convinced we signed the right player in him.

I'm happy to hear Klopp is open to trying the 442 at times. We've generally always looked better when pairing with two up front. But the pairing of ings with one of Sturridge and Benteke works far better than Sturridge and Benteke as a partnership imo. You need the work rate of Ings if your down to 4 in midfield..

Well there you have it. We're mid-table now, so you'd best save them for the titans that are West Ham and Leicester City.

What happened in the game? I'm struggling to believe Chelsea could be this bad results-wise without actually trying to lose...

True but I think that work rate causes a lot of turnovers which give the opportunity for counter attacks. This was one of our big strengths in 13/14. Fast and devastating counter attacks.

I'd still give them a try for sure, but I'm not sure it will work.

The problem with Benteke is the same problem with Lukaku - they're clearly match winners on their day, but their day doesn't come anywhere near often enough and it can be like playing with 10 men when he's not in one of those moods. I think he's too inconsistent for a team who want to be challenging for a Champions League place.

Once again, dominated the match and couldn't capitalize on key opportunities. Conceded on one dumb mistake after defending well the entire match. Benteke and Firmino still aren't fully fit. You could see it in their movement. Disappointing result again but I am happy with the direction we seem to be headed.


The highlight for me was Klopp's celebration. We need to give that guy more reasons to celebrate!

You should be content with a top 6 this year honestly. And a decent cup run. Heck, scratch that out. You should probably be targeting one of the cups. Money's become such an integral part of football that people forget that it's the trophies people will remember.
