Citeh are just a better team at the moment, certainly in attack. I miss us dominating teams like how Citeh do, its just so damned easy for them and they have such incredible options throughout the team.
They very much are a better side. Regardless of us reinvesting the Coutinho money into the squad they are still a couple of levels above us. Looking at it from an unbiased perspective I wouldn't put money on anyone else. We're going to have to deploy a far more aggressive approach at some point to keep up with them in the long term.
The results show that we have made our best start to a league season in years. But for me, the performances are well below what I saw from us in the second half of last season and that makes me uncomfortable. Our pressing game has just not been there I feel.
But perhaps that is the plan from Klopp? Pragmatically navigate the first half of the season and then unleash a more energy sapping/typical style of play that is our nature come the second half of the season? I hope so because I firmly believe the only way we can win stuff and beat the big boys is if we can unleash that blitzkreig style.
