The insane luxury we have in our attacking midfield depth is amazing. Being able to rotate Neto & Sancho who looked great last weekend and have Madueke and Felix come in is fantastic. Currently it really doesn’t matter who is playing in these position because they’re all doing well. Hell, even Mudryk has been pretty solid recently and he can’t even make the bench!

I feel like the only position where we could use another quality depth option is in CM. Caicedo is tasked with so much and with Lavia’s injury concerns were short in that defensive area. I don’t know what the loan conditions are but Andre Santos has apparently been killing in at Strasbourg again and is tailor made for that position. Could he be recalled in January?

We should believe. Our attack is great just as much as Liverpool's. We scored most goals in the league so far. I think our midfield is way better. Enzo, Caicedo and Lavia would all start for them. We cannot complain about our full backs. Fofana can be shaky but Konate as well. Only thing they have over us is experienced CB in VVD and better keeper. 

And 7 points.

Still not sure what we can expect this season, but it's December and we are sitting 2nd as highest scoring team in the league, so fucking good..

In 2022/23, we finished the season with 38 goals scored, now we already have 31.. We stopped at 44 points, currently we are at 28. Crazy..

great win and result, but this team is too complacent in front of goal, it should have been at least 8 or 9-1, could have improved the GD even more . KTBFFH💙

Remarkable though. Even with the missed chances. Top scorers in the league so far. 

That's saying something.

Any chance you watched Newcastle:Liverpool last seconds of the game?

Nope.

Great win, should have been 7 or 8 but three points is the big thing.

Knew Nkunku would score, it's just what he does. 

To Spurs we go

I envy your optimism, I really do. I remember last season you predicted us getting top 4 in a match thread sometime in spring. Nothing wrong with that. But I always have the urge to remain as realistic as possible with the typical German tendency for pessimism. I agree, our midfield is more talented than theirs overall. Our attack has more depth and arguably also a more diverse technical profile but you know how it goes. Attack wins games, defence wins championships.
what counts when winning titles besides quality and depth is experience and mentality. Liverpool are a well oiled machine, that squad has been playing together for years mostly. Most of their top performers are somewhere around their prime. This probably their last chance and with Klopp gone they might have that additional edge. If salah or VVD get injured for longer time, it is a different story. Yet, I honestly also don’t see us finishing over mancity and arsenal for similar reasons. But we are not far off those either and a lot better than the rest while having a super young squad that might still improve for years to come, player for player.  Time is on our side. Save any further Clownlake bottlejobs, if this team stays together plus a couple of key additions it will go far
