To achieve the level of consistently we've had over two years is nothing short of remarkable. Let's be honest, we've been spoilt rotten with the levels of performance and results to go with that. A couple of dodgy performances after winning the first title in 30 years... Well honestly I'm not too bothered. It's not like we've been awful, maybe I'm one of few here but for 30 minutes against Arsenal I thought we played them off the park, I don't think they had a touch in our half.
Whilst I agree with Swab we've had our luck this year, I don't think you achieve what we've done over the last two seasons without the mentality, and very importantly, the concentration, to go with the talent. Not unexpected to see those levels drop now, with the league wrapped up. The two Arsenal goals were a perfect example of that.
As Klopp said, there's no manual for how to play after winning a league title. Nothing will diminish the achievement of this team over the last two seasons, we are rightfully where we are and a couple of lacklustre performances now won't change that.
