Reality set in instead....and it's NOT a super-coach making wine out of water....but instead it appears to have all been fools gold. Much like my Lakers, you ask if Liverpool is even "a good team" now (well....you don't have to ask that about the Lakers. They flat out suck).
Couple issues: 1) This team is paper thin. We rely on about 5 guys to be there every game...and all 5 MUST have good games, or we are a pretty average team. Your not gonna win with that. This next offseason, we need to get a couple legit defenders, and we need to get several additional players who will carry some of the load.
2) Gen Pressing....
Did the league figure it out, or did our players get too tired as the season wore on? This is an important question. You can remedy the latter by signing 2-3 additional midfielders/forwards who are actually really good...and who can play sometimes. Especially at that Jan-blockade of games. Look at us! We are gassed, and couldn't beat a junior-high team. But on the other hand.....if the league has us figured out....then it's up to Klopp to show he's more than a 1-trick pony here.
Sorry to say that last part...I know Klopp is pretty darn popular. But I'm calling it what it is: this team has sucked the last 5 weeks or so. We beat Plymouth in the FA Cup....and THATS OUR ONLY WIN SO FAR THIS YEAR!!! I mean.....come on. Klopp says "this team must not be complacent against weaker teams" <------well I call that an arrogant misread of the situation. We have 1 win in 10 games. Don't worry about so called "weaker teams"....cause there aren't any right now.
Boy I get mad at comments like that. Pure rubbish. We got 3 points out of a possible 15. The season is dunzo as far any hardware is concerned...and probably Europe (again)....and we're worried about our complacency???!! Don't buy it.
Klopps off my "hero" list now. I expect this guy to figure out how to carry a team with his schemes throughout an entire season. It was nice to have that great start....but it's meaningless now. Field a squad strong enough to get into the champions league next season, or your not good enough to coach Liverpool. Sorry bud.

We have the talent, on a game to game level. Klopp has done many many good things so far. But we're too thin to expect to maintain it for a season. We just don't have the depth for even a single one of our core to get hurt, go have international duty, or really even have a bad game. Hopefully he recognizes....and we go from here.
I do like Klopp a ton. But he's got alot of work to do still. Let's see if we can continue to grow our core. It would be nice to be able to have a couple guys go missing, without it turning us to mush.

It was interesting listening to the analyst afterwards. So basically Liverpool have 0 losses against the top-6. That doesn't seem right, but..let's say we have 1...and some ties. Point is....we've played really good against the big-boys.
Arsenal on the other hand have zero wins against the top-6. Alot of losses and ties.
And yet we're only 2 points up...and they have a game in hand.
In otherwords.....we totally gave the title away this year.
