The environment and dynamics have changed massively. Our heavy metal football is suited to a cooler season, noisy fans in the stadium, intimated/nervous opposition; high pace, quick transition, and a strong first 11 with a decent but not brilliant bench.
We now have a hot summer, players probably not fully fit, no crowd to push us and unsettle the opponent, opponents with nothing to lose and an open source defensive plan that anyone cone adopt against us.
Is it therefore time to just slow the pace down, shup up shop and ensure that we pick up at least a point in each game as first priority? Let teams that need the points desperately come out rather than us go chasing the game in this heat.
We shall find out over the next 90 mins or so... and the next few weeks!

We didn't change it today, it worked. Besides, we don't have many games left, it's likely that we will be champions. Might as well try to roll teams over.

This is the first time since records began in 2008 that a team hasn’t had a single touch in the opposition box...they thrived in the heat, Mighty!
The sad thing is I believe Chelsea will get at least a draw tomorrow and the team can't celebrate it immediately on the pitch!
Very good team result with everybody putting in decent performances. Glad to see TAA put some practice in on set pieces after his no show v Everton. Fabinho was sublime and Mo and Mane getting on scoresheet to have a run at Golden Boot.

The heavy metal football is not with the same intensity as before but we played with more intensity against Palace despite the heat. So we will adapt

Although we have seen Klopp tweak changes to the style of play each season the main themes are always pretty evident, high press, high energy, quick transition play.
I think they play the same whether its first team, youth or training. I think we are likely to see the same style of play for the rest of this season perhaps with use of fringe players to help the first teams rest.

What a superb performance last night, magnificent, brilliant and exhilarating to watch, even from a distance, loved it. We could be champs tonight, but whatever happens it won't be long now, only two points remain, yippee!

SKY said last night they will have a special programme tonight at 22:00 if Liverpool win the PL, I'm guessing they will have Klopp/players on camera/zoom etc.
