I cannot remember me being this excited about a new season the day we signed Jurgen Klopp.

He has turned this club around in a very short space of time.

You look back at how LFC has fallen down the ladder season after season over the years. Yes no silverware as yet but I have a feeling it will come this season.

Considering were the club was when Klopp took over.

Believe!

Its unreal how much better we are than the day rodgers left. i've said it before but is there anyone who could have taken over that side in 2015 and be in the position we are now not even 3 years later?

There probably could have been tbh. but klopp feels like a perfect fit for us.

Also, we haven't won anything yet. We're just continuing the steady progress we've been making since klopp arrived. Trophy or not this season, the progress is obvious.

Surely a trophy Will be minimum expectation this year given the outlay?

I don't think we've done enough as a club to say that bare minimum expectation is a trophy. I mean we still have to show that we can win a trophy first. that might not even happen this season. and if doesn't, if that is the minimum expectation, then do we just rip it up next year? minimum for me now is that we challenge for prem and are in the race for the cups (make semi, final etc)

We haven't done enough, but I pose the question should Klopps job be under threat if we don't at the very least challenge for title given how much has been spent.

With you there, Faithworks. I know many will be losing their bricks and go full-on "whine and moan" if we do not win a trophy this season BUT you are correct. We have to earn that right and that is only earned on the pitch. I also think that it would be foolish to rip up the whole thing and start again cos if heaven's forbid, we do not win a trophy this season.

I mean, Poch has won nothing at Spurs for FOUR seasons yet Spurs aren't ripping anything up. They in fact, gave him an extension cos they know that he is the best chance they have of winning a sausage at the moment. Same with Klopp. He is challenging for trophies right now and all we have to do is get over that hump and we will be there. Hopefully, this is the year we get it right.

if we start well, we will win the league. If we struggle at the start, I still think we’ll win the league.

Agreed aoe. Imo we need at least 16 points from our from 6 games if not all 18! A good start would have won us the league with Rodgers.

It always amazing how careless we can be with predictions. Am not a betting man, but would hate to see how some of you gamble lol

For me it just comes down to enjoying the journey and loving supporting the club.

Rodgers got us closer to the league than Klopp has. Klopp is the better manager imo, miles better but he still hasn't won owt yet. This year surely.

That season under BR was the best lightening in a bottle ever! Unfortunately, the poor planning and lack of identity came back to hurt us.

Spot on, Faithworks. Robbiejames, I compare our ride under BR to that of LC under Ranieri. LC just wanted to stay up going into that season and they found themselves in a title tilt. The diff. here is that Ranieri was very humble, measured YET determined in about it in his public comments. He kept his head down, so did the players and they got it done.

BR did bring us close to winning the PL BUT was that by design or by us as Faithworks said, "Catching lightning in the bottle"? You will find that the latter is the case. BR was mandated to get us back in the top 4 that season and we were 4th going into the NY. Then, "we catch lightning in a bottle" and go on a 12 win streak. The title tilt came as a shock BUT unlike Ranieri, BR did not know how to handle it due to his ego, mismanagement and arrogance and we messed up. The fact of the matter is that BR won NOTHING in his 3-plus seasons here while Klopp had us challenging for trophies from jump till last season so the hope is now, we can get it done this season.
