Mentioned it recently, it does look like Klopp wants to get the first half over and done with. Going by the way we have started some matches, the high intensity and plenty of chances being created, finish teams off in the first half and there will be no way back for them. That for me has been Klopp's plan. It has failed to come together so far but only a matter of time before the tables start turning.

Even against City, we were battering their defence before Mane got his marching orders.

It just looks like the City match killed the confidence of the team.

Obviously getting a win vs Newcastle before the International break would have been ideal.

On the one hand I fear Mourinho being Mourinho will be spoiling the party by parking the bus like he always does vs LFC but on the other I can see Klopp and the team returning to winning form.

International breaks are the pits!

Max, a lot of teams come out to try to finish games esp. vs lesser teams in the first half so they can conserve energy and manage the game in the second half. Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not. We did get the win vs LC where bar Migs' brain farts, I think we handled them very well. We just need to be more consistent in all phases of the game and keep the individual errors in defence to a minimum (knock on wood) .

As for Mou, you are spot on. He is still terrified of Klopp and has been since Klopp thumped him at Real Madrid in the CL and helping him get the sack at Chelsea after we smashed them at Chelsea for Klopp's first win in the PL when he arrived. He will park the bus at first just to control the game at first before picking his spots. We may not be favorites and that in some way, may play to our advantage.

Why would teams be terrified of us? We are a leaking sieve. Just sit back, let us have possession and pass over and back, wait for breaks and hammer our awful defense. Oh and get some set pieces and exploit us again.

Our best chance is when teams like City attack, then we have a chance. Sit back and counter and you have a great chance of coming away with the points against us.

To be honest I don't think they will park the bus personally, their confidence is high, they will want to do a number on us because they know our defence is rubbish. I think if they do this, it'll be their failure because we will destroy them on counter attack. Well, here's to hoping anyway lol.

They will prob go out with 5 at the back, no point for them to come to Anfield and try to outplay us with fast fluid attacking fotball, that's not what they do. They do score a lot of set pieces and crosses, so i have a bad feeling about this one.
