Klopp is bemoaning injuries and mentioned what could have been with regards to the title challenge.
Surely we should have been good enough to beat Swansea, Bournemouth and West Ham at home? Sunderland and Hull away?

I don't buy the injuries part of it even tho it is a near tragedy with how many players we have out at the moment. Our team struggled cos we lacked belief and desire vs these teams. How do I know that? We are showing the drive and belief and fight needed to beat teams like Stoke and WB away and we won IN SPITE of the injuries. That is what is needed way before we address the squad depth. As for the PL, we were NEVER in it to begin with, IMO. Why? The holes we have in this team are too many to overcome right now. With time, definitely we will be in it.

That's 13 points dropped from those games. We'd be right in the mix if we won those.

N Red - of course we were in the title race. After 11 weeks we were first. After 20 weeks, well over halfway through, we were still second with just 5 points to catch (including a game against the leaders) . The only way we could be more in it is to be actually be winning it.

if you think a team as flawed as ours with the holes we still have in it and lack of consistency and plagued by injuries and squad depth, was in the title race vs better and more consistent teams, then that is your opinion.

Maybe Eds can offer more info but does he mean injuries across the squad that meant he couldn't mix things up or rest players with knocks? Especially for some of those shouldn't have lost games?
{Ed001's Note - that is what he is trying to say.}

I agree with hjikle.
By N Reds calculations Leicester were never in the title race last season.
