We don't have to play any of the big teams away.
Even our average players Joe Allen, Lovren, Lallana, and Origri are looking world class under Klopptastic.
Sturridge is back and scoring.
We have quality in depth upfront Origri, Benteke, Sturridge, even Firmino.
We have the Welsh Wizard Harry Wilson back.
We may pick up a couple of Germans in January.
Gundogan and Hummells anyone.
We beat the teams who finished 1st and 2nd in the Prem.
We are playing attacking football.
No square pegs in round holes.
Man Utd, Arsenal, Chelsea are appalling this season.
I believe we can win the title under the nations favourite German.
We can and should, especially given the factors you mention, but almost certainly won't as we seem incapable of stringing two decent performances together for some reason.
Out of curiosity, why do you (and many others) have a downer on Lallana? Personally I believe he has a sublime talent with the ball akin to John Barnes, and isn't afraid to get stuck in when necessary despite his relatively frail build. Wouldn't swap him for anyone.
