I know it’s been said quite a few times now that the new system with Salah through the middle and Bobby behind isn’t getting the best out of the players. We’ve all thought it I expect, but we are having an amazing season nonetheless. We are starting to switch between that and the 4-3-3 quite well now and over recent games we’ve been creating more, scoring more and have Mo and Bobby looking back to what we so often saw last season.
If we can get some silverware this season and replicate our first half of the season in the 2nd half then the signs are promising. At the moment I’d say we are probably at the level of City last season, and if I’m honest I don’t think they have improved from last season, I certainly don’t think they are any better than us, not for a second. It’s frightening to think where we could be in a years time. Klopp is building one hell of a team that is getting stronger and stronger and we are in a position now that signing players will genuinely mean we have multiple, quality players for each position, players that will normally be first choice at most teams. I can’t remember when we last had a squad and foundations so strong. For crying out loud we are able to bench 58mill Naby Keita who’s probably our most naturally gifted midfielder, in a must win game against a top team...when we’ve already got our rock solid CB out with a fractured leg. Go back before Klopp or Klopps first year in charge and there is no way we would have been able to do that.
It seems that the team went to another level with this game and it couldn’t have happened at a better time of year.
