As a fan who remembers the glory days of the 80’s, I too am wondering when we will lift a league title again. It has been a long and frustrating wait, with agonisingly close seasons. I can understand peoples frustrations and everyone is entitled to their opinions, but some of the constant negative dribble spat out by some so called fans on here is embarrassing.

Let’s put a little perspective on here. We are currently 1 point behind the media labelled “greatest premier league team ever”. We have a young and exciting team that will challenge for league titles year after year not just for this season. Our back 5 could be together for 10 more years and get better and better (imagine that! ) . Fabinho and Keita are young and exciting and will only get better. Need I say more about our front 3. Yes they haven’t been as dynamic or consistent as last season but my god they take some stopping when they’re on form. Finally I’d like to point out that despite a rocky start, our owners are learning from mistakes and are truly moving us forward both financially and commercially.

So fellow supporters all I would say is sit back and enjoy the ride because there are going to be plenty of ups and downs between now and the end of the season. Let’s get fully behind the team and drive them on until the end of the season. If 2005 has taught us anything, nothing is over until the final whistle of the final game!

I still fancy us for the league, not me being bias either, I see City dropping more points than us in the remaining games.

Que Salah Salah you sound exactly like a guy I was talking to at work this afternoon! I was all doom and gloom until he pointed this out. Good post mate.

good post that, if we look at the bigger picture, and see that like he says, we are going to improve each and every season, and we are being backed by brilliant owners and a great manager and fantastic staff,
we are up grading the team and squad every summer,
I can only see winners with our team, and we need to give them our full support,
we just need to improve our away form, and score more goals .

Mate what makes u think all of a sudden will challenge year after year for titles? Any evidence to back?

There's a reason we haven't won't any trophy I repeat any trophy for almost a decade and here we are talking of challenging league tittle year and year out!

Yes we have progressed but for that we have spent over 400M, yes I repeat 400M and our manager has over 3 and half years of building he's team compare to most of he's rivals, ask yourself if we don't win anything this season, are we over achieving of under achieving especially the amount of backing our manager has received from our owners in terms of resources and time!

Again if we don't win league tittle this season, will only be the team who despite leading by December yet failing to win the tittle not once but trice.

honestly, Its not the results im upset with, its the performances when under pressure. If we can let go of the fear and perform well yet still lose the league I can accept that. But if we lose because we choked, then that's going to be 1000 x more annoying. There was an interview with salah saying that he can't enjoy himself in this title race. Our players just need to relax. We enjoyed ourselves against watford. the players were controlling the ball, taking on players, willing to take risks. That didn't exist at everton, we were scared to get tackled, passing it too early because of little pressure, heavy touches, overhit crosses. we were still the better side but not by much. Substitutes don't do anything because it doesn't fix what's wrong with the whole team. Just chill, perform well, just treat it like a game of football and not the end of the world.

Kopitef, I bet if you ask any opposition supporter who they think will be challenging for the title next year, we will be 100% identified as one of those teams.

Why do I think we’ll challenge year after year? Well let me give my reasons why (and no I don’t have any physical evidence to back it up it’s just my personal opinion after seeing how Klopp has taken us forward) . We have THE BEST defence in the league. Alisson is one of the best goalkeepers in the world. We have two very good young full backs. VVD is one of the top 3 centre backs in the world. Gomes is still to come back into the side which will make it even stronger. What a scary thought that must be to every side. I bet teams will look at that and think how are we going to get past VVD and Gomes.

Then we go to midfield. Fabinho is now proving to be worth every penny we have paid for him. Calm and composed with a great passing range. Keita is slowly starting to click and wijnaldum has been excellent this year. Our front 3 is one of the best in the world period. A few additions here and there to increase the goal threat from midfield and look out everyone else. The owners have shown that they will back Klopp. Klopp has shown a willingness to adapt tactics. We are now extremely difficult to get even a result against (we have only lost 1 game this season) . Consistency is the key to challenging. We have now got that. (Please don’t come back at me with our draws as being inconsistent because Man City has nearly as many losses as we have draws so that argument can be levelled at them also - losing to palace and then losing to Leicester at the Etihad) .

People don’t have to agree with me. Maybe I’m an eternal optimist but you tell me with the quality and young age of our team, why can’t we challenge next year and the year after? I don’t see any reason why not.

Spot on, OP. Wiseryan, I agree with you on the whole however I don't think it is possible to enjoy a title chase like this one for several reasons. One, When Salah or the players or management team are about the the town, I can guarantee you that LFC fans accost them all the time asking the same thing, "Pls, win this for us, man. It's been way too long". That is almost all they will hear. How is it possible to enjoy it? I mean, these players are human too and are sensitive to such things. It's all well and good saying we should just relax and play our game and that is 100% true. However, the reality is that they just can't with all that's going on outside of the pitch that they cannot control.

I fully agree that we are going to have to start taking more risks, like you said cos our defence is good enough to hold the fort while we release the hounds like we did vs Watford. We did not do that vs Everton cos they were really there to be thumped. we allowed all the outside noise to get to us and we became hesitant and Everton saw that and grew in the game as a result of it. We have succeeded in imposing our selves on oppos. all season long. Let's get back to that. Forget about City. Forget about everything else and just play football. Easier said thaan done BUT we have NO choice. We got to go for it now.

Mate if we are that good and have got everything In place does that mean we are under achieving?

kopitef, you don't really need to look that far.
nothing is in stone, but the club have been trending upwards since FSG came in and then Klopp has been in charge. could go on for ages, but probably all that will satisfy you is a title. so hopefully we can do it this season for you.

What happens if Klopp leaves? Or some of our top players leave because maybe we are always the bridesmaid and never the bride? Winning trophies might go some way to hanging around, not the only thing mind you but winning nothing certainly won't help. We do have good players and a great manager but it could all so easily fall apart. We need to win trophies ASAP, not just be also rans, else or players could easily be cherry picked be the likes of Madrid, Barca, PSG, Juve and Bayern.

What if Klopp stays and we win the title this year or the next, IR? What if's work both ways, man.
