[PL] Spurs (A): Post Match

[Fredo]

I'm not sure about all of this. We're still prone to the odd lapse and I don't think that's gonna change but it's too early to say. Bar the Burnley result we made a decent start as four points away to Spurs and Arsenal is OK.

I wish we could manage games better and that we shut up shop and grind a result whenever we're a bit under the cosh. We've been very inconsistent under Klopp and I hope we see things changing within a few weeks.

What do you expect from us this season in terms of league position?

A strong top 4 position, with no European distraction falling outside of 4th will be a complete failure.

4th place? I expect us to challenge this season and we should really, as that's all we have to worry about.

OK. I was expecting you to say a title challenge, but fair enough.

I do agree with Red Polo about the three games being too small a sample. Maybe once we've played 10 games (the magical Hodgson figure), then we'll be in a better position to assess?

By a strong top 4 challenge I mean to be in the mix, obviously there are better placed sides than us to win it, but I definitely don't expect us to be 10 points plus off the top or anything.

Good man!

Nah I don't think so.

We don't have the players for a challenge, 3rd or 4th would be an incredible season for us.

The challenge should come after we are back in the CL and can interest some better players. I think(hope) that's the plan.

We are going to be a nightmare for any team who has played in Europe if we've had a weeks rest. We look awesome on the break the move for the disallowed goal was brilliant.

[Fredo]

I think we have a team which can challenge. With less games to play this season, the focus should be on trying to win it.

Despite finishing 8th, 6th, 2nd, 7th, 8th, 6th and 7th in the last few years?

Fourth would be a progressive step and a marked improvement. Especially early in Klopp's tenure.

I agree, we probably won't win it, but what's the point in aiming for anything less. The squad looks strong, the bench was really strong today.

I'd be happy with forth. But we can definitely put ourselves in the mix. The similarity a with the time we finished second are that we didn't have Euro footy then either!

That was a beauty, ****ing gutting, would probably have ended up with 3 or 4 if that went in.

Defo, lets give it a shot! People may laugh given we'll probably be 5 behind Utd, Chelsea and City already after this weekend but it's obviously skewed by the fixtures. We've got loads of firepower, strength in most positions. We can give it a good go!

I'm not basing this on 3 games, I'm looking at Klopps LFC career so far. Having an opinion on whether we play well doesn't pay the bills, points do, and no, I wouldn't class one win from 3 as decent at all, I guess we differ on where we see LFC.

Jesus! Two of those games are away to Arsenal and Spurs! Fair enough one **** one but all three were away!

[Irishnev]

Wtf seriously, we looked excellent for periods today. Finishing and refereeing decisions let us down.

I thought we controlled the game today and were v good for most of it, if we had managed a second we'd have picked them off on the counter attack.

We still need some steel in midfield and hopefully last week was an anomoly because the signs are encouraging.
