Should we be worried about Liverpool's new found form?
Is it just a short-ish purple patch or has 'King' Kenny got some real up-to-date tactical nous from his time watching from the sidelines?
Or is it all just Steve Clarke?

I don't get it... Worried about them taking fifth?

For a Champions League spot? No.
If anyone breaks into the top 4 it will be us.

I'm looking up, not down.
Liverpool are one of the last clubs I'd be worried about. They are a mid table side on a decent bit of form right now boosted by a new manager. They are now back to their wrist slicingly boring as love method of winning, Bolton went on a good run not so long ago and currently the likes of Sunderland are doing the same. All mediocre clubs go on nosebleed runs every now and then.

Spurs have to implode for that to happen, which we won't.
1 defeat in 15 PL fixtures, with injuries galore, is CL qualification form.
As posted elsewhere, top 3 is on, given our form and remaining fixtures, and our competitors'.

Worried about a team that has a manager who was last involved in football when George Graham was considered employable? Who just played a 3-5-2 in the modern Premiership? Who is so desperate not to drop Johnson he plays him on the left?
No.

The honeymoon should wear off soon - they've got some tricky fixtures coming up themselves.
No worries here.

Serious answer
- This season, they aren't going to catch us, and certainly won't catch anyone in front of us.
- Next, they always have potential, but have shown they are still a circus
If you look at their actions since firing Roy, it wouldn't give me a lot of faith if I was a Pool fan
- Appoint a manager who has not managed in pretty much the PL era
- Spend 60M on a position that's not their biggest problem area
- Resort to a super defensive style (same issue that saw them struggle to get anywhere under Rafa)
Sure they have got the dead man bounce/honeymoon effect, but another season without CL is highly likely, Reina has basically indicated he's off (and imo, he, Torres, Gerrard were the only reason Pool was ever a threat).
You can never completely disregard a side, but with the advent of City, Cheat$ki looking like they will continue spending and our progress, Pool is the ones that need to be worried.
