Away from home we're none to shabby.. at home, and Palace and West Ham have given other sides the blue print, pack the defence and hit us on the counter..
If we can keep Studge fit, then he'll go a long way to helping us unlock defences at home, but until our home form improves I wouldn't have us in the top 4 (just yet)..
Spurs have proven to be one of the better sides of the season so far, they're tough to beat and have a very strong first 11 with some decent squad depth..
I'd be happy with a cup and a good battle for the top four this year, love to get our hands on the title but it won't happen this year!

Spurs won't get top 4, bottle job kings that they are. I got 6-1 right you should listen to me hahaha
 
Chelsea have more chance of winning the league than we do. Dampen expectations. Next year is our year. We'll just have to settle for the three cups and BBC Sportsteam of the Year, for now.
 
Keep Sturridge fit and we walk Top 4.

He is the key to unlocking those deep defences at home.

If we're still in touching distance of top 4 come end of they year, I think Klopp will be given a bit of money to invest.

Then who knows ...
 
Christmas/ New year period is crucial. If we are not more than four points behind the leaders in January anything is possible. Top at Christmas does not mean anything as we found out many times already.
 
I really don't think we can win the prem this season. However, I had a chat with my reporter mate at lunchtime. He is of a different opinion (remember he's an avid manc). He said if we go on a run, we could do it. The reasons he gave me are as follows.

Manchester City: Clearly not the same team from the first 5 matches of the season, as you ably demonstrated, and Aguero may be out for a month.

Arsenal: Serious injury problems and lack of squad depth is a major issue.

Manchester United: We are **** and only where we are because the whole prem is ****e.

Chelsea: Just too far behind to have any chance of winning it.

Leicester City: Will blow up sooner or later, probably when they play you.

No mention of anyone else.

We're 6 points off top with a run of winnable games coming up. He's a gambling man and he's putting some serious money on us, as he thinks there's a genuine possibility. I'm not, but I'm going to have a fiver on it.

So do you share his views, or is it just 'unthinkable'?

Is it unthinkable that you could change your username to 'Red Hadron Kloppider'? (Geddit?)
 
If all our key players are fit in the new year,we are going to make top four at least.
Think it showed on Wednesday, when Sturridge is fit we look a whole different team. Mobility upfront is where the game is going, you only have to look at Barca's front three too see that quick mobile tireless strikers are whats needed now.
 
I remember when we lost back to back games to City and Chelsea in the 2013/14 season. We dropped from top to 6 points behind. We went on to close that gap and almost win the league.

For a title challenge to happen, we need Sturridge to stay fit and Origi to prove Southampton game was not a fluke. That will have us with 3 able strikers.

When Klopp came he said he wants to work on the mentality of doubt. We would all love a PL title at Anfield but if the players have the same mentality as some of us we will never achieve it. We have players in this squad who have been part of a title challenge therefore we are not novices trying to win. We are 6 points behind with a bigger head start than the previous challenge. I say we go for it !!!! [HASHTAG]#mythoughts[/HASHTAG]

I have never been one for religion <whistle>
Comical as that is - and not wishing to start a religion battle again - it's funny how all [or most] of the top players and managers are all very religious, including our new boss <ok>



and I do realise this comment has nothing to do with anything - just an observation.
