At this stage, I guess we can keep on playing sh*te and ride our luck out.
It really feels like extra time in Istanbul. Someone up there wants us to win.
All that going out to destroy everybody 5-0 feels irrelevant now. We haven’t, in the last few matches. But we keep fighting to get those three points. We keep creating our own luck by not giving up.
If it ain’t broken don’t fix it. Forget about running faster, further, jumping higher, passing better, becoming fitter, etc. It doesn’t matter, just keep scraping those 1 goal margin wins. City drops points and we’re home. No problem playing sh*te. Just keep pressing and and creating our own luck. The results will come.
I remember not too long ago people would go crazy that we played too open and we were unable to defend or hold a lead, and now that we are very sound defensively people will complain that we need to open up more like last year.
We are on pace to finish somewhere in the high 90s for points, probably the best season in a long time if not ever for the club and while some may disagree with some of the personnel decisions game to game, it cannot be doubted that Klopp's more methodical way of playing this year has given us the best results, even if "heavy metal football" is sexier to the eyes. It's not about style, it is about results and so far we have done that better this year than at any other point.
You often hear or read, whether it be forums or media, that we still haven't been at our best, but i think based on where we stand after 32 games into the season that THIS is our best, just that it looks different than it used to.
Not to forget lady luck, who has been a sweetheart to us this year after being a flat out bi*ch in years past.
