That's fine mate!

I just think we underestimate them sometimes. It's easy to dismiss them as I have done on many occasion.

This isn't me being a Kopite apologist btw, I can't stand the utter cretins.

You can never dismiss them as they have more luck than anything ever but they always think they're Barca and the leagues they'res then they come crashing back down.

Both these defences are ruddy awful

 

[matty1878]

Tyler then " nearly another Liverpool special " these pundits and they're comments.

LOL

Heard all this before

Didn't Hammers win there opening day last season?

And Aston Villa the year befire

This isn't really the same as those. An absolute kicking before the RS switched off. And I thought they weren't top 4 material before today.

Even if they win this they've proved that they've still got a serious defensive weakness - not good enough to mount a league title challenge.

I'd stick my house on Arsenal finishing above them still aswell as 3 other clubs

Yep, Klopp will be fuming, and you would imagine the media will have a pop at the RS's defensive crappness.

 

[VentureBrosEFC]

Nothing will ever go right for Walcott. Sad to see his career develop like it did.

 

[Mozza1987]

Arsenal have been poor here

Yeah, Arsenal have been poor

Liverpool still look decent though

Klopp is genuinely a very good manager and he's got them moving in the right direction

The bonus is that they are decent....and inconsistent but their hysterical fans think theyre Champions material. Klopp was amazed at their over ambitious expectations when he first came and stayed in town. Remember when he went walkabout round Hardman St and had a bevvy with some of them...their loudmouth sense of entitlement stunned him. Were used to their hyperbole and rambling, cracked distorted expectations (a la those t-shirts) and I for one expect nothing less from them this season...long may it continue.

....there doesn't look any stand out teams, though. It's a bit like last season.

It's easy to dismiss them based on their recent history. Here are their league finishes in the last 7 years (starting with most recent):

8th
6th
2nd
7th
8th
6th
7th

Clearly the 2nd place finish is the anomaly. They had their Leicester City moment that year but still screwed it up. Now they have to compete with the likes of Man United, Man City, Chelsea, Tottenham and Arsenal for sure, and also perhaps West Ham and us (hopefully!) for a top 4 spot.
