You should only get a point for beating a team with an ill qualified American manager who belongs in the MLS. We'll probably have to play them when they've got someone competent in.

They're going well as it stands, but it's only the beginning of November.

Calling him the best manager in the world is premature at this stage, and frankly a little bit embarrassing.

Klopp took Dortmund and molded them into one of the world's best footballing clubs. He won the Bundesliga, which is an incredible achievement. He took Dortmund to the CL final while having limited resources. He was already one of the best in the world before coming to Liverpool. His work there, with a squad that was struggling under Rodgers, just cements him further. Only Simeone is in his class, in my opinion, when it comes to molding a group of players into a highly cohesive top class team.

With their front three there's no way at all Liverpool won't be title contenders.

Fair play. I have to admit I thought they overpaid for Mane but he, along with the two Brazilian's have been fantastic this season.

It would be unbearable if they re-signed Gerrard in January to give him a PL winners medal.
When you see other club buy players like sissoko for 30m , then actually i have to say liverpool underpaid for mane...in this market mane should have cost atleast 50m...

And? Goals win games. They scored five they can concede another three yet still win.
Yeah, goals win games. They won't outscore every team this season. I was pointing out the fact that while they have scored double what we have, they have conceded 2.5 x what we have.

Mate they concede when they're five up. . . That skews things. They are alot better than us but if it makes us feel better that our defense is better then I guess so be it.

Ive only watched the first 25 and last 20 minutes of this Liverpool game and in that time they've missed more decent chances than we've created all season.

I think on here we just don't like complimenting Liverpool due to the nonsense we read on RAWK.

Quite frankly though they're looking fantastic, just my personal opinion but I do think they're ahead of us at the mo, obviously in the table but I mean generally as well. That's not to say I think we are by any stretch of the inagination. They create chances constantly, and are beginning to blow smaller teams away with routine.

I know they're defence isn't all that, but if you can bang in fives, then conceding threes isn't going to matter. As for the goal difference argument, the amount they score will still far outweigh what they concede.

No Europe either, they're deffo a (not so) outside bet for the league. Yes, early days.. but it was early days with leaicester. The likes of United aren't as at the races these days.

Liverpool have pace and creativity in their front 5. We are lacking both of those. Wish we'd signed Mane. They are going to continue scoring but they are vulnerable at the back. I couldn't stand them winning the league.

I have a PL winners/top scorer double of Liv/Aguero at 40/1. Only got a couple of quid on it. Wish I'd put more on now.

They look very decent right now as do chelsea . No Europe is going to be a massive boon and I believe one of these two will win the title . I hope it's chelsea

I think the fact that Klopp came in later then Poch and Liverpool have been shit for years, were as Chelsea have been buying their way to he top for years means Chelsea winning would not be so hard to take. If Liverpool win it then they have surpassed us in a shorter time.
