Anfield Until The End 16/17

We Go Again!

Hull beat Leicester.

The Premier League Champs, Leicester City.

They don't have a manager.

They have very few players.

And they're just coming up.

But they did it. They beat them and beat them well and I almost couldn't believe it.

And that's the joy of the PL. They could be the next wonder to win the whole thing.

Or, it could be the same old people, who really knows?

It could even be us.

Now, I'm not banging the drum, screaming that this is our year and all that because it's obvious that a fan of another team would start doubting it. But I kind of am.

There's no European football this season. We can thank that stupid ref who wouldn't know a handball if someone took the ball and threw it at his face.

This means, we're basically playing once a week. That gives us time to train, to make our pressing, passing and togetherness much better. By the end of the season, I think the pressing triggers that we saw at Dortmund will be here, our passing will be much more intelligent and that's all because the guys will have had so much time together, they'd be like brothers.

Yes, we lost Karius to injury. But thanks to smart buying and keeping players, Mignolet will still be here. We used to depend on him for starting XI duties but now he's most likely going back on the bench when Karius comes back in October. It's great we have this sort of depth, just in case because it gives a lot of security to the defense, having an amazing German goalkeeper and a dependable Belgian one is something many teams would wish to have. And I'm sure they wish they had the depth we do in other positions.

The pace our team now has is absolutely a tornado ready to touch down. No longer is hold up play needed. We just make the runs and score the goals. Make the opponent wonder what's happened and by then, the match is practically ours for the taking.

It won't be easy.

There's still Pep Guardiola who believes that every league he sees is his for the taking and splashes cash when there's no reason to even buy, but still finds an odd way to make it work.

Jose Mourinho has an axe to grind . . . with everyone. He's trying to show that he hasn't flopped after his Chelsea stint and is now doing everything in his power to not have an actual team.

Arsené Wenger needs to prove to his fans (Piers Morgan) that he won't drag them to 4th once again. They want new things and it seems that if he doesn't change it up in the good way, this could be the last season we see him as Arsenal's manager.

Antonio Conte is new to the league, like Pep. He's come in to steady the wrecked parked bus of a team and make them better. But how he'll do that with a sub-par defense and guys that could barely kick a football last season, who knows.

Ronald Koeman is trying to fix a team low on confidence and quality. If he can do the same he did at Southampton, us Liverpool fans have something to worry about in our "little brother".

If you notice, that's a whole lot of managers. A whole lot of transitioning from one style of play or to a whole different league where sitting back and crossing it down the pitch is a style of play for more than one team. And there are a few more of them that I haven't even mentioned.

And we're one of the few top teams that doesn't need this transition.

That should make you excited, ready to be proud of Jürgen Klopp and the fact that he's been here, gone against the likes of Man City and Chelseas to the Villas and West Broms. He understands what we need, who we need to get rid of, what needs to happen for us to win a football match.

Yes, there other teams have kept their manager, like Leicester and Spurs.

But we're Liverpool. The team where weird, things you do not expect, happen. Two finals with our main striker injured for most of the season? We've done that. Coming back with a man down? That too. Were undefeated in Europe for nearly the whole Europa campaign? That was us too.

There's nothing Liverpool can't do. There's no goal Liverpool can't score. Our rivals may laugh in our face when they hear us being positive but I laugh in their face when they're negative every single match day about little things.

Be proud of this team and its canny ability to do the unachievable. No one knows what we can do. We're the dark horses, the ones no one can really understand or chart.

Let's continue this level and go again.

We are Liverpool, so we'll start in the Liverpool way.

In Klopp we trust.
