I'm convinced it would make a massive difference. Compare Chelsea's intense pressing game today with the way we allowed Brentford time and space to pick their passes. Low energy, no hunting the ball in packs - it's no wonder they picked us off so easily.

As much as I hate Chelsea, I have to say they're playing some fantastic stuff.

So much energy and pressing the opponents. Kante and Hazard are a different class.

Bloody hell, heard them say at kick off that Sunderland only had one player in their starting line up with a goal this season.

As it stands, all 20 PL sides have passed our points total from last season with 14 games to spare.

Looks like relegation will finally catch up with Benteke.

Said it before but Silva is doing a fantastic job at Hull, really good article on him in the Guardian today.

They have literally fallen apart having looked so good earlier this season.

Burton beating Wolves late on. Good old Lambert. Pick yourself up and go again, Paul.

What a run Exeter are on. Won 9 out of the last 11 and drawn the other two. From relegation candidates to 4th and a play off place.

If our form carries on, we could be playing them next season.....I'll get my coat.

Klopp likes to have his players press and play at very high tempos, however as he has not experienced a league which doesn't have a mid season break, it now makes his team struggle.

Klopp will never win the title for Liverpool.   It's great seeing them think he will.  Group delusion.
