It's really unbelievable with the Klopp moaning on here. Yes I can understand some criticism of him for today's game but some criticism are not really justified especially the way we have been playing in the past 10 games so far. People tend to forget that we are not a finished team yet, nor we are good enough to challenge for the title. We are close to Christmas right now but we are still 5 points away from 2nd and look good in the table despite our setback at the beginning of the season. We are in an unbeaten run of 10 games and in those 10 games we have scored more than any other team in the league, even Man City. We also conceded less than Man City, Man Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal & Tottenham, so please we are doing far better defensively than we have done in the past and we are scoring loads of goals. I would never would have thought that our defense would up their game so well, despite Lovren's stupidty today he's been solid in other games, Joe Gomez looks phenomenal, Moreno improved & Klavan solid too. Our CB pairing is not perfect, but credit where credit is due, they've been solid so far and it shows.
So what's to moan about? because Klopp decided to rotate? he did that before and it worked, this time it was working but individual errors and small details in the game cost us. Sh*t happens, so you learn from them and move on to the next game. Look at our schedule, we have to rest players or else we risk injuring our best players, so I would rather we rest some players rather than having them injured for a long time.
Of course it's frustrating not to beat the bitters, I was as angry as you guys and really angry at not closing the game sooner today, but let's calm down, take a deep breath and think rationally for a minute. Let's look at how we are doing at the moment. Games like these will happen again, but what's important is that we keep our good run of form going and see ourselves in January. I don't think Klopp did much wrong with his lineup today, it worked before against other teams so why shouldn't work again? He thought the lineup he had today is enough to beat the bitters and I think he was right, so hopefully we have an energized team in the 2nd half of the season and we can go a little bit more with our run and keep the consistency we have been showing so far.
Don't deny it, we've improved massively since August.
