Objective, maybe but we were worth every penny of our league position and form in the Autumn and the only reason we're now fulfilling expectation rather than exceeding it like we were, is down to poor planning and penny pinching in the Summer.
I'm of the opinion that Klopp built his squad for this season, with a top 4 place in mind, knowing he would need more quality to actually go on and win it.
Remember, his target was 4 years to deliver a title, and we're barely 18 months into it.
It takes time for a manager to build the squad he wants; I mean it's no use shoving 11 out of the door and hoping 11 coming in can hit the ground running.
So while I was quite excited by our start and how we played, it's always been in my mind that for Klopp it was a bit unexpected for us to do so well, so early into his rebuilding.
I might well be completely wide of the mark, but that's how I see it.
