Lets wait until after the Leicester and Burnley games, to see if things have really changed. We still have too prove it against bus teams, spurs were always going to pay into our hands imo, taking nothing away from the performance.
I think we said the same after the Manchester United and Chelsea game - "let's wait to see if things have really changed".
Now we're saying it after another performance against a good side.
I won't hold my breath, especially for Burnley at home, due to the fact we've been doing the same things over and over again in January against the likes of Plymouth twice, Southampton twice, Swansea, Hull and Wolves. It bordered on insanity.
All because we don't have the necessary quality to break teams down (which was partly over looked in the winter transfer window), and because there was no change in approach from Klopp and co.
Look, we may get a lucky break or an early goal against a bus parker - as until yesterday we hadn't scored a first half goal in the league since Citeh 2016! That's what's killed our title challenging aspirations frankly. And we may still scrap the odd win here or there, but if recent form in putting the bus parkers away is anything to go by, then I'm not going to let my judgement be clouded after the Spurs game. I thought we were on the up after the Munt game only to be shown otherwise.
I'll be happy to hold my hand up and eat a little bit of humble pie - as there is nothing wrong with calling things wrong every once in a while. But I don't think we have the players to make lighter work of the bus parkers, the likes of Firmino and Henderson were perfect for yesterday's game but for the bus parkers you need guile more than energy and these two down the front end of the spine (the former especially) have shown they're pretty ineffective and inconsistent against these kind of sides.
It's horses for courses and we don't have the horses for this course IMHO.
