I am not worried about Chelsea at this stage. They are on an unbelievable run and have been injury free so far. You would hope they face some adversity over the course of this season. As long as we win our winnable games, we'll be fine. As frustrating as it is, had it not been for the injuries and disruptions, we would have been neck and neck with Chelsea. Even factoring injuries, we should have won all our games barring Burnley and Utd.

True but then we have screwed up many a times when our rivals have played first and dropped points. The fact that everyone won yesterday should help us keep focus.

Bit harsh that. Sakho missed a team meeting which was organised by Klopp. Sakho's actions impacted the whole squad i.e held up the flight. Firmino's actions do not impact the team. He will get a talking to by Klopp. From a moral perspective - drink driving is a despicable act. The court should ban him from driving for minimum 6 months.

I don't mind if we rest him against Stoke and save him for City.

This.

Coupled with more injuries to first team players compared to the other top 4.

Agreed. He's better than Houghton. He has a touch of class about him and he will only get better. Honestly, I feel much calmer with him in midfield than Can. Don't know why but I do.

I think that applies to the whole first team. It looks like we are getting our mojo back allied with some steel and grit.

I think Klopp sees Can as the long term solution there. I believe he does not think he is ready to take on that role just yet. Dahoud will be playing further up.

Where would Sturridge be playing? It could be argued that Origi actually does a better job for the team due to his pressing.

Stevie G left a big void that we have not replaced for 2 years.

Looks like. Even more depressed than last week. It is not looking good for the next few weeks.

Why do we switch off after going a goal up. Klopp needs to lay into these.

That game is an aberration. Every team has that over the course of the season. The Bournemouth game told me a couple of things: 1. If we are focused, we will rip teams apart. If we get c*cky, we are susceptible to these type of losses. 2. Our defence is rubbish without Matip.

What about Hendo Can and Mahmoud Dahoud?
