Man of the match -- absolutely Klopp all the way. he controlled it from start to finish. Brilliant tactical performance.
Klopp playing Shaq down the center was brilliant thinking. I suspect Salah, & Many will each score 30 goals this season and Bobby maybe 20. Hendo looks set to play midfield sweeper.
This is the first game of the season, were I saw LFC correctly passing the ball , through the correct lines of attack, in a consistent manner throughout the game. The right players, running and playing through the correct lines of attack. -------- The frame work for this statement is, LFC winning a couple of trebles and a couple of European cups in the next 10 years. Like our past glory years. My writings and posts are nothing to do with analysis on a game by game basis. That does not interest me.
Yesterdays game, gave some indication of what we will see over the next 5 years; but it is going to get much better and by many orders of magnitude; and it will start very soon.
Klopp has the squad and the players have the individual skill sets required.
They say last year, LFC was fast on the break and played well.
As this team gets tuned up, (maybe 4 weeks more) it will be like last year but, super turbo charged. I can not think of any words to explain what I see coming. But I would explain it by the following picture:
Imagine 2 Kevin Keegans and 2 King Kennys running at the goal at the same time; with 3 good back up players in support; and 2 steve highways on the wing; and Tommy Smith last man standing with clemence in goal.
And they are all playing in sync and many of them are young. With Shankley on the sideline !
How the hell anyone will stop this team is beyond me !
This team will have the Kop, rocking and rolling, singing " poetry in motion "
Unfortunately, we have to deal with Chelsea first; these will be the hardest games of the season, especially when LFC is still in tune up mode !
Good luck to the Redmen !
Got to Run !
