You can say ‘we’ you know. Sorry, it should have read ‘they need to be more ahead’. If your rivals were looking flaky and you were 4 or 5 points ahead of them then you could say it’s been a great start but when Chelsea under a new manager are actually ahead of you on GD and City carrying injuries are within 2 points then your start has merely been keeping pace. Given your lack of squad depth (will Klopp ever trust any of your other players upfront?) and the Euro fixture list coming up then you’d think it would be advantage City and Chelsea (one with a far better squad and easy CL group, the other could give up the Europa) leading up to Christmas.

Was just taking it from your quote; I don't pretend I'm not a Liverpool fan.

It surely is a good start, irrespective of other teams results. They (we) couldn't have won more than 5/5, so if Chelsea do the same and go top as they have, it is what it is. Doesn't make Liverpool's start any worse.

City have surprisingly dropped points as they've had the easiest start of the "top 6" fixture-wise. The squad situation and fixture-congestion may well happen; remains to be seen.

Man City dropped points due to a blatant refereeing error. You gain points due to blatant refereeing errors.

A massive dose of reality looms large for you lads.

There’ll be head’s falling off all over the shop shortly.

Reality might bite indeed. The next 3 weeks or so would definitely give a good indication of where we might end up eventually. This next 3-week schedule is one of the most difficult I have ever seen:

15th - Spurs
18th - PSG
22nd Southampton
26th Chelsea (LC)
29th Chelsea
3rd Napoli
7th City
 
At least when we fail nobody is surprised.. Whereas when they miss out their fans indulge in much renting of clothes, bile and accusations of foul play.. We are insulated against it, whereas watching them come up short is a joy to behold..

We actually admit our problems. They just airbrush them from history and do exactly the same again. ‘I know lads, let’s all brag about us winning x trophy before we’ve actually won it, what can go wrong’

Only on paper,
Against Southampton he will probably rotate 3 or 4, then in the league cup rotate the entire first 11. In effect there first 11 will have a week off in the middle of that.

If he rotated the first 11 they’ll go out of the league cup to even a half decent Chelsea side. If he rests more than one of the front three they’d have a game on their hands against Southampton. Their strength in depth is abysmal. Spurs almost got back into the game just because Firmino went off for a bit on Saturday.
