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. 

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
