We are not that far off Man City and Liverpool imo, their full backs are the main difference since they offer width and also defend well. Both City and Liverpool have in access three or more reliable goal scorers. We just have Hazard. Fullbacks are an issue, but we are so far off from Liverpool + City in terms of attacking threat.

Sadio mane had never scored 15 goals before this season, Salah had never scored 20 before last season, Firmino is okay not world class. Put all our wingers in Klopp's system with Lpool's full backs they become instant 15 goals a season scorers. They dont even get a lot of goals from midfield but they have Robertson and Trent both with 9 assists. Look up their build up and you will notice its more about width and creating chances. Same as City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as City. It's not as simple as that. Sure the width from full backs would help, but if you do not have intelligent attackers, you will just find the fullbacks recycling it back to the midfield every time. Which is what we see time and time again. Willian and Pedro wouldn't all of a sudden improve their decision making under Klopp. The former was never a top player and the latter is past it. Look at the 1st leg away to Slavia It was utterly embarrassing the lack of ideas we had in the final third. As opposed to Mane, Salah and even Firmino, who honestly goes unnoticed. The way they move off the ball and their direct nature is why they are so threatening. Firmino is a vastly intelligent player and I hope our next striker has the same technical ability as he has. He would be perfect under Sarri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbluewillie 1,930 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Well i just hope we don't fuck up, that's our main problem, excellent chance to go 3rd..... But you know what happens, the Chelsea of old turn up, and we fuck up. Huff and puff and can't blow the house down. Plesse tell me this is not going to happen. Still KTBFFH I hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still KTBFFH I hope Even if we win all matches, we Spurs or Arsenal would have to lose at least one time and I am not so sure if that´s really that likely. I just hope that the european competitions will mean that Spurs and Arsenal will rotate a lot and they fuck up at least once. Problem is that Chelsea also has to play EL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still be nice to be higher then 5th for a bit! Cup final. Etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't want to look like a dickhead. Bending over backwards for the board to get him then to end up not even playing him. Higuain for me just lacks sharpness. There is still a quality striker in there. That said. No complaints from me on the lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,926 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Nice team. If ever there was a time for Higuain to come into some good from and sharpness it's now. He can be the man to fire us into the top 4 while Giroud can be the man to fire us to the EL title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's just lost that burst of pace, which he heavily relied on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needs to drop that shit and pick the best players for the job. He's very hopeful? Every game is effectively a final from now on. He needs to stop being hopeful & be realistic.
