yeah there is a plan to play against us now maybe the madness style of play of last season is the way forward as we have the defence to deal with it now

exactly how I see it. Kill teams off in the first half an hour. Our functional approach this season has been based on a solid defence... now unfortunately it's up to other areas of the pitch to step up. There is most definitely a plan to play against us and it's up to klopp to fix that... playing Fab/Gini & Henderson is not the way to go imo.

Totally agree. We adapted to that more functional style and it has got us this far, time to adapt again and go balls out.

Not sure Klopp agrees with that;

I agree a lot of things will need to change. Either tactics, team selection, player form... Because we've gone from +7 with a chance to go +10, to -1 in the space of two months. I don't want to get into this whole semantic discussion about what the word "form" entails, but clearly we haven't been doing that well lately.

...given it's happened in the last six games, you'd think Klopp and the team would have a plan B for when teams shut up shop and play compact... or like yesterday, when Salah and the front three are misfiring.

Klopp must know it would have been better to lose a couple of the last 6 and win the rest than to draw so many... draws just kill momentum and scoring confidence. We have to go for it now, there's no alternative and the lack of creativity in that midfield three just isn't going to cut it.

The problem we have is the expectation. We should be happy with what we have as we have had a great season up to now and accept that it's going to be a hard and difficult route back to winning it again. It may be this year, or next, or the year after. The alternative to that kind of progression is that Klopp leaves and we fall back into what we had before.

We need to hold our nerve because I have a feeling that we're a bad game away from implosion, as fans. This affects the players.

I would be very surprised if Klopp changes his tactics to what we had last year. We've been exceptional in controlling games away from home this season, barring a few hiccups. We just need to believe in what the team is doing.

I think we have every right to have high expectations as we led the league comfortably at one stage

Watford will beat City and we'll hammer Burnley. Back on top by the end of the week.

But the overeacting is ridiculous though. We were meant to have a bad patch. I said at the time (when we were 7 points ahead) that the points difference didn't reflect the difference in quality between the two teams overall. We're in a process. We need to be patient.

I think that can also be put down to how the fixtures roll, We led the table by 7 points, but we then had City, United and Everton away in the mean time City bar us had an easy run of fixtures.

[Alex]

Nige. We have been patitent for the last 30 years

Even I can understand its wearing thing for some.

I still expect us to win the league, but we are clearly a better chasing team than leading team.

Were winning this on the last day with a goal in the 97th minute. Dont worry.

What overreacting?

Totally valid argument

It would be very Liverpool to do this

[SB]

I would rather lose out on the league going for it big time and losing the odd game than lose it drawing with ****e who should be being blown away

100% this.
