Look at our second half stats. Whatever Klopp and his staff are doing at the break and with subs is absolutely brilliant. Just frustrating and a bit confusing that the first half’s aren’t at the same level.

Checkout Chelsea’s second half stats. Pochetino must be so inspiring.

I know that this might sound dumb but is it not part of the game plan to some extent? Get the opposition to spend a disproportionate amount of energy in the first half, second half our (hopefully) superior fitness and ability to bring on 5 quality subs who know their roles (clearly a significant number of them are planned ahead of time) increase our chances of winning as the game goes on.

Yeah, but I think negativity is his pre-match ritual now and it’s working really well, so I’m happy for him to continue!

I really hope you manage to predict the end of March positions and points!

He's our 12th man.

There are 5 players in the Premier League averaging >1 G/A per 90 this season and 3 of them play for us (Salah, Jota, Nunez)

That definitely seems to be the case against low block teams (most teams we face), will be interesting to see what we do against Man City who like to control possession

Our subs will probably be less tactical and more fitness related though. A lot of players will be either tired or coming back from injury and not fully fit

No games now until the end of March, what a joke!

Man City vs Arsenal next, we could be top by the time they play and fingers crossed both drop points

Kids vs apart then absolutely **** united one last time before Klopp leaves.

All 3 of us really have 1 hard game each. City has arsenal and vice versa, and we have utd who always lift their game against us. All the other teams are nothing. If we beat utd and city beat arsenal, I’ll be pretty confident it’s ours. If arsenal win then it’s most likely over.

We have zero hard games left. No need to build up that Utd team.

Spurs will be gunning for Arsenal on the other hand. And Ange has them playing proper football + CL on the line for them. Arsenal beating City would not be bad for us at all.

Going by how things went last time against them and the number of poor calls we’re getting, we can easily come out without 3 points.

Spurs and Villa away aren't walk overs. I think there's some over confidence here.
