Thanjk you.
Paul.S
He's way better than I imagined, and I had high hopes
All of a sudden, Lovren is no longer a liability, Allen is the second coming of Xavi, Origi like a young Sturridge, Ibe unplayable and Brad Smith a Liverpool footballer, everyone in the squad just upped their level.
I can't wait for the games, whereas I didn't even bother to watch some games under Rodgers, or at least didn't sneak my way out of other things in order to watch.
* The above is posted in my opinion. Feel free to disagree.
Was watching Press Box on LFC Tv the other night and one of them made an interesting point. He suggested that this may turn out to be Klopp's best chance of winning the title, as so many of our rivals are struggling. He could be right.
Obviously we'll exepct to improve every year under Klopp, but will we be able compete with the likes of City, Chelsea and United if they change managers and/or spend another £1bn each? Obviously we'll like to think we will, but I could nearly see a Rafa type scenario in that he built and excellent team that most teams in Eurpope feared, but they never reached the heights they should have and instead he was mainly remember for taking a team of misfits to CL glory.
If I was able to, I'd be taking a punt at 16/1.
If we are all only happy when we are really winning in the end, when your race finishes, what life would that be?

Dunno about that. We said the same about 13/14, that we might not get another chance at Chelsea and United being down, but two years later here we are. If Klopp sees out his contract here there'll be at least one more year with a weak league.
I think we're in a better position now to take advantage of a Title winning year should we achieve it early enough in Klopps reign, and we will. imo.
Whereas teams in other leagues dominated by a couple of super wealthy/attractive teams are not, or were not when they won a title against expectations.
We win a title, and sustain title challenges from there on in, i don't think Cities money will be such a huge problem, they can only play 11 at a time after all, and we only play them twice a season in the league, and we already spanked their arses! and the Chavs too!

Not that we'll need the league to be weak, mind.
Aye, I was wary of those comments from back then when writing that, but the point is we may not get a better chance, even if we improve massively ourselves. Talk of a title is also a wee bit premature, but some fans are playing down our chances or looking at this as a transitional period, when the truth is with a bit of luck it could be there for the taking.
Also think that if we matched our 13/14 total (84 points), it could enough to win it this year.

Well, of course we may not get a better chance, but I think it's likely we do. It's not like a weak league is a rare thing these days, and we're really the only club in the upper echelon (aside from Spurs maybe) with a bright and certain plan for the future. United are due for an LVG implosion (if it doesn't happen this year) and their succession plan doesn't look very impressive, City will need a rebuild soon, Chelsea need a rebuild now, etc. And if we keep improving I'd back us against anybody, no matter the strength of the league. I just don't see a behemoth on the horizon, unless City end up with Pep maybe.
That said: completely agree we have a chance this year too. I'm not expecting it, personally, but it wouldn't take much to break our way.
This season is pretty much the only chance any other team has of winning the league in the next 5 years and thats only because they had a head start on Klopp (and we'll still probably win it anyway!). Am expecting 108 points next season at worst.

Just the 36 wins?
Or are you going for the season undefeated - 35 wins and 3 draws
