At last Klopp is wising up to the fact that we need to manage games butter as Chelsea do. No Kamikaze football. Rather exciting football peppered with Italian mentality (ie protecting a lead) . Pleased to hear that.

Confused about where Klopp has said this. Kamikaze football, what utter BS.

Klopp plays pass and move football and expects it at a very high tempo along with making sure the ball gets taken from the opposition ASAP.

Very surprised Conte has improved Chelsea on one massive scale compared to last season. Had my doubts about him. Tactics and 3 at the back he used at Juventus seems to fit in very well with the squad he has.

I would cringe if Klopp decided to revert to 3 at the back on a permanent basis when we simply do not have the wing backs or CB's adequate to make that system work.

People forget that this is largely the same Chelsea side that won the league 2 seasons ago. I don't think conte is some miracle worker, in fact I think it says a hell of a lot more about the players considering where they finished last season and where they are now.

Northern, that is not Lfc hopeful's point. The majority of Chelsea's team especially the key players, were there two years ago when they won the PL. They literally stopped playing for Mou last season hence, they had a bad season cos they seemed to be interested in getting him sacked than anything else.

That does not change the fact that they were a vry good team and the squad is pretty much intact. Now, they have a manager hey like and trust and are ready to run thru a wall for. That makes a big difference and it's not like they weren't talented to begin with.
