To try and rationalise our start to the season if I'd set a target for our first 5 games I would have said 10 points. In that light 8 is disappointing but not a disaster. We're in the mix with Chelsea, Spurs and Arsenal and have only dropped a bit behind the Manchester clubs because they've had sensational starts.

Our defense had been appalling but, frankly, it can't get any worse and should get better if Klopp is worth his salt. We've been creating loads of chances and, once we've found our shooting boots, some cricket scores are due. Salah has made a brilliant start, Mane had continued his great form and Coutinho will be back up to speed soon. Lallana and Clyne will both improve us when they come back. There's loads of reasons to be positive, we just need to make sure we don't fall further behind the Manchester clubs whilst we get up to speed.

Great post, Putney BUT as Lfcfan said, you can't post perspective and positivity on this sight as you will be called a Klopp apologist, FSG stooge or a fan of mediocrity.

Lallana is massive for us and I don't think a lot of people realise how much we miss him. He has the intelligence and vision to create so many chances for the likes of Mane salah sturridge and AOC. His positional awareness is top class too and he is fairly vocal.

But Putney he hasn't improved the defense and he's in his third season, I think that's what is disturbing to a lot of fans. I'm not preaching Klopp out as that is just ridiculous but I am really really concerned that our defense and keeper situation is still a shambles in his third season in charge.

{Ed025's Note - i think thats a fair point Mc..

Mcgoveb, last season he made some tactical switches that seriously improved our defence, he needs to do something similar again, he just needs to compromise a bit on his philosophy.
