Really can't understand this "when we get back to last season's form" nonsense. Last season we ended FOURTH and then not until the last match of the season.
Sure we had some exhilarating attacking football but we nearly finished outside the top 4. This season we are unbeaten in the league and on the coat tails of a City team most pundits say is one of the best in Premier League history. Are we sure we want a return to last season's form?
Our style appears more suited to the Premier League than to Europe and I can't say I am too put out with that.

Spot on, BeeM. I propose that people get used to seeing what we are seeing from the team currently cos this is the way we are going to either win the PL or die (footballistically) trying at least until Klopp decides to change things. The style we play now is built to last a whole season and not 2.3rds of a season. 2/ 3rd's of the season playing great footie will get you top 4. Klopp is no longer interested in that cos clearly, we have won NOTHING doing that in the past two seasons esp. finishing the season on our knees physically and making top 4 in the last game.
We need to pace ourselves and clearly it is working as the table does not lie.
Now can we improve? Of course we can and that is the great part of it. Klopp is always looking to improve his team even when we win so clearly there will be NO complacency. Shoot, even Pep said City have to improve cos he's no mug. Also, we should always strive for perfection cos even City are not perfect and we have had a lot to do with that of late. Up the reds!

Last seasons form of ATTACKING as opposed to last seasons form of DEFENDING!
Not that hard to understand.

Agree 100%. Playing like we did last season we could blow teams away but we did tend to concede late in games.
There’s a new maturity about us this season, we still have that firepower but by reigning it in a bit we’re not blowing teams away like we did but we’re also not being pegged back late in games like we did.

I think most people would summize that they are referring to the attacking part of the game. that plus our defensive resilience would be nice. but I imagine that at this stage, the 2 are difficult to produce at the same time.

We have been very casual Upfront and not critical enough. We have had enough chances this season. we hardly have been taking our chances in games. Also the front three have been very vague in terms of positioning.
I believe this is all to tighten the defense and the new theme seems to be defend from the front, rather than attack from the back of last years. I dare say it, might get murdered on here Its something fresh and I like it. I just don't see us conceding goals, which is a big improvement.
I fail to understand why we can't play anything same in Europe though, we are just so disjointed, Has happened in all three away games. we didn't do anything. I think the team is confused on how to go about in Europe.

Well said. As the old saying goes. "Attack wins you games, defence wins you titles".
I am perfectly okay with this.
7.) 04 Dec 2018 13:14:09
I think its naive to think that you can play as poorly as we have all season and get in the top 4.
Its not purposely playing defensive, we are simply not playing well. against the 4 top teams we've played, so Man C, Chelsea, PSG, Napoli, even redstar, we amounted to what 4 attempts on goal. that simply isn't a "tactical decision"
8.) 04 Dec 2018 16:13:08
In fairness though this time last season we didn’t have Vvd at the heart of our defence and we had Mig or Karius in goal with Moreno at left back. That’s like comparing your Skoda car last year to your Ferrari this year. This season’s points tally is brilliant and the biggest positive for me is we have hardly got out of 2nd gear in the league. City are absolutely flying and are in top gear. The best thing is our 2nd gear and city’s top gear there is only 2 points difference. Soon as we hit that top gear in performance then strap yourself in.

The emotive responses to the latest Suarez debacle are oversimplifying what has in fact several dimensions to it all of which will contribute to a greater or lesser effect to its outcome.
Firstly is the moral/ethical/cultural issue. Suarez is a product of the Uruguay streets where the sort of behaviour he all too readily displays stems from survival instincts. There is a compelling argument that his prodigious talent is simply another reflection of his will to win and overcome obstacles that we in Europe don't face and hence his blindness to and failure to understand the condemnation he gets. The fact remains that whilst it is true that biting perhaps carries less potential for harm than other forms of physical assault (Keane, Barton, Zidane etc) biting is particularly offensive in Europe and we cannot accept it on the field. Unfortunately it seems that his predilection to biting is as instinctive and impulsive as the anticipation and skill he showed against England and which was universally praised and I don't think that treatment, mentoring, counselling will have any effect and that the constant risk goes with the man.
Secondly is the football issue. This is currently a FIFA matter and the initial action will be taken by them. We have to recognise however that when any LFC player is on international duty he is representing the club and in the World Cup on a global stage. We recognise and accept that by basking in the glory of good performances by LFC players. We cannot wring our hands and say "nothing to do with us - he was playing for Uruguay". We therefore have to accept the downsides as well. I don't know whether any action taken by FIFA will affect LFC but LFC have to take their own action against Suarez for besmirching the name and image of the club. It is a cop out to say he is too valuable a player. Magnificent footballer though he is LFC cannot run the risk of ever escalating suspensions keeping off the field for prolonged periods.
Thirdly is his transfer value. Let's not kid ourselves that no-one will want him. Real Madrid don't have qualms about the personal characteristics of galacticos and they will still be interested in him if they believe he will strengthen the team. What it does do however is reduce LFC's negotiating position regarding a fee. LFC's position is completely undermined because of their need to get rid and the continuous threat of suspension. It may marginally help if FIFA impose only an international ban but the fact is he has become a severely impaired asset for Livepool.
Finally and possibly most important the business issue. It is LFC's sponsors who will have the biggest influence. The Blue Chip brands which LFC have attracted do not want to be associated with a tarnished image and they will therefore expect LFC to take whatever action is most appropriate to protect their investment and you can bet that if they haven't started already they will soon. I hope Ian Ayre is back from his holidays but don't expect him to spending much time on transfers.

There should be no need to spend sizeable amounts. We don't need to go through all that again. The squad has enough quality to challenge if it is managed properly. It is all about using existing resources properly which Brendan failed to do repeatedly.
