Salah/ Ed1 - agree with your earlier points about positivity or some 'fans' lack of it.

Nothing will worry/ annoy City/ Chelsea more than them steam rolling teams most weeks and playing their best football then looking at the table and we are still only 2 points behind them.

All us reds wanted when Klopp took over was to restore some pride, give us a chance of winning titles/ cups again and then hopefully take that final step to winning them.

We aren't steam rolling teams as Klopp realised to keep pace with an amazing City team that he'd have to change tactics on occasions. So, if we can all get over the 7-0s and then annoying draws from last season and use our eyes to realise what's happening then you will enjoy the ride a lot more.

PS. I'm loving being in the mix for once knowing that there's even more to come!

YNWA.

{Ed001's Note - it is not even Christmas yet, the key is to be in the mix when you reach February, then go from there.}

And hopefully May Ed1 but it's been a good start :)

{Ed001's Note - in May you need to be top.}

Hi 1jj - good post there, but you do realise that your comment about silly draws last season also applies to this season where we have drawn almost 50% of our league games. That will not win us any titles I'm afraid.

KBL, if you must be negative please be negatively accurate. 3 drawn games out of 11 in the PL is 27% not almost 50%. And those draws have been against Chelsea, Manchester City and Arsenal - hardly “silly draws”.

KBL we have drawn against the 3 teams around us that's hardly half of our games and are not 'silly' draws. City and chelsea have yet to face each other, chelsea have to play city and spurs, arsenal have yet to face spurs and united, we only have united to play out of the so called top 6 so the negativity towards the draws is uncalled for.

This is the best team and manager we've had for many years.

I would argue we now have one of the best defensive units in Europe which includes a world class CB and GK.
We have a very good and balanced midfield (missing one top creator / goalscorer imho) .
We have one of the best attacking forces around which includes current Premier League player of the year and record goal scorer.

We are two points of top spot, unbeaten and have probably had the hardest fixtures so far. Top of the champions league group which is one of the hardest ones too this year.

There is every reason to be very very positive.
. but I'm still scared and not enjoying this as much as I should.

Hopefully the team's nerves are better than mine!
YNWA.

Two of those draws were also away from home and all three were against teams playing at the top of their game! You could actually say that Chelsea and Arsenal are playing above themselves at the moment! Liverpool have not yet reached the level that we expect and are still above last season's begin.

Last season - 11, 5, 4, 2, 21, 17 Points 19. This season - 11, 8, 3, 0, 20, 5, Points 27. The holy trinity (last season first) - Salah 7-5, Mané 3-6, Firmino 3-2. Last season at this time we had 0 points against City and Spurs (9 goals against! ), 3 against Arsenal, and 1 against Arriva Buses! Let's not forget that Citeh can continue playing well but if we win all our games WE WILL be CHAMPIONS!

Spot on, Ed n the other lads. As they say in NFL Footie, "LFC are in the Hunt" or "LFC are in the Conversation" and that's all you really want in the main. You want to be there or there about's for the PL in the spring where the final sprint starts and then release the hounds and go for it all. As for those, moaning about getting 3 draws vs City and at Chelsea and Arsenal away, I am as frustrated as you are cos with some more luck in taking our chances vs Chelsea and Arsenal (and a lino who knew his job), we win both games BUT footie is not that way unfortunately. But let us please, stop with the self-entitled "LFC should be winning this or that game" stuff or the OTT negativity that is simply unwarranted. It just poisons the well of goodwill Klopp has worked hard to build here.

Even if things can get better and we can improve in obvious areas, we are RIGHT where we want to be. Do people think Arsenal and Utd would not swap places with us currently? Stay positive (in spite of adversity) and support the team cos it won't be easy to wrest the title from City and we are trying to erase a 25 point gap from last season. Shoot if it was easy, anyone would do it.
