First of all, happy days!!! We're rockin.
For a club that has had its share of false dawns, the hype (which is more the media's doing) is premature. The atmosphere is normally what you see at clubs with about 5 games left to lifting the title. There's a whole other half to go. Klopp has yet to show he can get across the line...
Long away to go. Should we still keep Klopp then? Let's talk about that at the end of the season
Luis Garcia, He drinks sangria He came from Barca, to bring us Joy He's five foot seven, he's football heaven please don't take my Luis away.

Klopps words from his first press conference are still ringing in my ears when he said we need to turn from doubters to believers. Obviously I'm not saying that's it we won but going back to that quote also gives me belief and confidence that this is our year, we shouldn't hold our excitement and enthusiasm, let Anfield be as loud as it can be each game as that will help the team to reach that elusive title that we crave so much. Very happy with today, enjoying the moments game by game as it's been a special season so far but also staying grounded of course as there is still a long way to go with many obstacles.
Back to Back World Champions baby!

We got 54 points after 20 games. If we draw the 18 games to play we end up with 72 points. Likely to be enough for top 4. Been following the team since 1974 or 5 and not seen this before. So i am celebrating the joy of looking at the standings. Fair enough, but if we finish 4th at this point it will be a chronic failure that might cost klopp his job. Maybe we should get rid of him now, what do you say? That’s probably make him happy. You see the football grinch has never liked Klopp and seems desperate for him to fail so he can be right which seems more important to him than us winning. No one is getting carried away yet there’s a need for this thread just to stop people enjoying the moment. Makes you wonder why some bother?

We should enjoy the victories and the great football we are playing, we need to be realistic, we are now favourites being potentially 7 points clear, but nothing has been won and there is a long way to go.
A month ago we were 2 points behind City and a vastly inferior goal difference, things can change quickly, City lost Fernandinho & Aguero and now we are potentially 7 points clear with a +4 goal difference. Similar could happen to us, if we were to lose VvD, Salah, Mane or Alisson for a few weeks, so enjoy it, but until we have mathematically won the PL, I won't be claiming anything, having been through seasons like 2008 & 2013.

Let's all keep a bit grounded fer now, 18 games t go. Yes, we look awesome but we've been here before. Klopp's managing the situation n players well I think. We're still not perfect in the middle of the pitch, gave a lot o balls away against the Arse, especially Fabinho, so we can still improve further. We can beat em on Thursday n City and Poop know that too. So, all good but let's not get ahead of ourselves just yet.

The big difference in this team is that we are not over reliant on a Superstar to get us a result, in previous challenging teams we had Gerrard & Torres or Gerrard & Suarez, with some good players around them. But in the current team we have some World Class players in Alisson, VVD, Salah, but we also have top quality in players like Firmino, Mane, Robertson, Fab etc, so we are not over reliant on 1 or 2 players, so if they are injured or do not perform, we struggle.
This is a much stronger, well balanced team.

When we went 1-0 down yesterday, no one in the ground thought we wouldn't turn it around. The crowd was firmly behind the team. I have never seen a Liverpool team like this. I think we're going to win it, but if we don't, I'm thrilled with the progress. Up the Reds.

That is so true redordead. I looked at the Arsenal manager shaking hands with all his coaching staff and thought how fukking stupid he was. Within 4 minutes they were 2-1 down. The mentality on everything Liverpool at the moment is awesome. The manager, the players, the staff, the fans and it is all being channeled in a positive way.

Nothing wrong with a bit of optimism here, we're doing great and we deserve to be doing great because we have a team that has worked its arse off to get to this point. And yes, we've been in this position before but this time it's different.
