I'm not sure that this International break could prove to be a good thing or bad thing four games into what is shaping up to be, our fiercest assault on the Premier League Trophy.
I keep seeing the next seven games in my mind and can't help but think how we are not going to lose any of them.
Our whole attitude and structure has improved so much and has been improving really, since earlier in the year.
With new blood and growing experience in the ranks we've been a tough nut to crack in these first four games.
Apart from our new goalkeeper's one mistake we've been pretty water tight at the back.
My worry, like it always is, during International breaks, is the fragmenting and scattering of the squad all over the world.
It must do Klopp's head in.
Plus the worry of injury to any of our squad.
For my pennies worth from Saturdays game I thought VVD didn't venture forward enough when he had the ball, instead he squared it, all game. The only time he went over the half way line was when we had a corner. As did Gomez.
I'm pretty certain that was Klopps robotic instructions for this game away at Leicester.
Saying that, second half, Leicester swamped our midfield and gave us no space in midfield to work through strangling the front three's supply.
It was a game that Ox would have ran at them, something Milner, Gini or Hendo didn't do.
a 4-3-3 formation that Jürgen, when playing that same three in midfield needs to be aware of, i'm sure he will be now.
Something tells me that the Tottenham / PSG games will be totally different.
