The first rule of Klopp title chase is you don't talk about Klopp title chase. Or as the boss said, "stay cool".


What a fun team to watch.

Their distribution and interweaving motion is just a joy, and having Milner shift into the left back role with the emergence of Matip and the absence of European football this year and the Reds have a real shot.

The infusion of new and moving coaches over the last twelve months has really made the Premier League fun to watch, with Guardiola's City as compelling to watch as any when they are on and Chelsea pitching five consecutive shutouts. Those coaches are six months behind Klopp and still fine tunimg.

This should be the most competitive and wide open Premier League in years, with those three, Arsenal and Tottenham separating from the pack.

Good stuff.


Mane's Africa Cup absence will be brutal.

He'll miss four games including Chelsea and ManU. Ings was his likely backup.

I'm not sure how they will replace his movement. Sturridge and Origi bring a very different style. I suspect that they could move up Lallana and bring in Wijnaldum and not lose the work rate. But it will still sting a lot.
