It's only the first game of the season... but are we already facing a must win game?

Anything less than a win will sharpen the focus on our controversial transfer strategy and will turn up the heat on Klopp and the players. Some of the fans will have a hissy fit and we might get our first KT meltdown of the season!

if you are going for the title these days every game is a must win.

I think so yes, title will be very close this season and if we win we are 3 points ahead of City already who don't play until next week so we need to take this opportunity and try to stay as perfect as we can from the get go.

If not winning get FSG to move their arses, it might be a blessing in disguise, though I am not too hopeful they'll change their stance with no protests in the stadium

It is a must win, we are the premier league champions, and if we are going to win again, we need all games to be must win games. Plus, with FSG having so much faith in this squad - there is no doubt this is a must win.

We need to show we are ready for the season.

Our defence has to improve - two defensive errors and two goals shipped. Leeds have got behind easily on other occasions too. VVD looks half the player he was - and Trent is not match sharp at all.

midfield got bypassed too easily plus individual mistakes at the back as well... lucky for us, 2 pens awarded from their errors as well.

We made hard work of that, didn't take our chances, but we kept on playing, a few defensive mistakes we paid for, Leeds played well, they will struggle to maintain that in PL.

Well done Mo with pressure penalty at the end.

Big wake up call for us, so maybe good game for us at this stage, Klopp will get stuck into them.

Leeds look a decent team. Dont worry about our defence early season rust. Pleased with Salahs performance back to his best
