Salah's performed far better than anyone expected and far more than his previous seasons with other clubs have suggested.
Firmino is enjoying his best season to date with us and already scored more than last season.
Both of those are unexpected, but you could argue just improved under Klopp.
Our midfield is still ****e (and arguably worse since January)
Our defense was awful pre Christmas and we're hoping an unfit, post injury VVD with no preseason will improve that post Christmas (promising so far)
Over achieved so far? Did Leicester over achieve when they won the PL to everyone's surprise?
We're doing better than expected...not quite the same thing though.

That game will be interesting for the first few minutes while we see whether Poorto decide to give it a go or just settle for not showing their knickers again.
Anybody think it may be because we have a good manager in Klopp who has now been in post long enough for it to make a difference to our players and their ability to carry out his instructions? Just a thought.
and why not?
we really should be careful with our resources to maximise the return now. tie is over, tough luck to those who bought tickets for the home leg
I could get used to it i expect
perhaps i will become as plastic as @Diego and expect us to actually win things
Partly. But our midfield and defense are still crap, no matter how you look at them. They're just about functional, but fortunately Klopp's assembled a very potent attacking trio to outscore most teams. When you go from beating Porto 5-0 or beating City 4-3 to losing to Swansea or a home draw against West Brom, you have to admit that Klopp can make our team equally as **** as amazing. We're just a very inconsistent side with flashes of brilliance and moments of dire play.
Radical thinking that. Anyone would think you were harking back to the old days when owners and fans realised that you had to give a manager time and not demand instant results.
it could be fair to say most lfc fans expected a 4231 formation from klopp after the first half season.
He in fact bought mane and played an ultra fluid 433 with coutinho firmino and mane.
this surprised a lot in the league and losing mane cos is badly in that fluidity.
He actually played a 41212 late last year with sturridge to get over line.
this year adding salah has changed the 433 subtly. Salah is constantly running behind. Mane on left is playing deeper as is firmino. both have set up salah along with cms.
now we are stretching sides and they are trying to be deep and narrow against us cos they cannot just rely on us playing in front of them.

People bleat about us being inconsistent but we've lost 3 games in the league all season, that's less than anybody bar City. We're still undefeated in the CL and scoring record amount of goals. The only reason we don't look as we are having a good season is because City have broken all records and flown ahead of everybody. We'd be right in the title race almost any other premier league season with our current tally.
look tbh can't argue with a thing you've said.
it's worked out that way and we've over performed in half the comps.
Yes and not just by football pundits.

Yeah, and you reckon Firmino will get found to have nothing to answer for after 6 weeks?
Or that if they found Holgate mistaken about what he reckons he heard it wouldn't have been sorted out long ago?
One of them is in deep ****.

A see four WBA players decided to steal a taxi last night. Apparently Studge got injured turning the radio up 
Either that or they are hoping that everyone will forget and there will be a byline in a newspaper somewhere that no action was taken due to lack of evidence but the FA are not saying holgate lied either due to a lack of evidence
