It could be much worse, and it's just two points off, but all know we could/should have been 7 points ahead going into this game.
Let's face it Salah is a bottler. Big game after big game. I wish I was wrong.
Right now, it looks like second beckons because you have to win the big games, or some of them.
BUt, we will see.
Sidebar - we're probably going to make the CL. Talk about raised expectations (I know, not really comforting, but shows how much higher our sights are)

TWO !?
Well, he didn't think we could go this season with this front 3 did he? Origi has hardly played at all.
And I don't think it is down to naivety. I don't know what happened with the Fekir case, but it seem clear that Klopp doesn't just want to add players. He want to add only the right players for him. Stubborness yes but he looks at it in the longer perspective it seem. So your case couldj ust as well be that we should have had a different CB than Van Dijk, as Klop decided against buying another CB when the Van Dijk deal fell through. Or another goalie than Alisson. Any goalie but Karius. So was he right to wait for his man or not?
Salah scores either of them two chances and we're top still. City scraped past two one-nil wins. Small margins boys.
And as bad as we were Sunday, we played better than citeh did this weekend & created more real chances than they did.
Small margins indeed.
Next someone will blame Klopp for picking Salah
The bench was filled with experience in the weekend and we have Gomes and Ox on the way in.
I am talking about an experienced attacker, who could also lead. These kind of players are valuable in the run in. Many of us wanted us to sign an extra attacker in January. Let's hope it doesn't cost us.
We’d all have loved another body coming in but who would have been available and make a contribution?
No idea, but we have people well paid do figure that out.
There is the problem. Nobody can name a single player and say “the club should do it”. Maybe the club looked and there was NOBODY that could’ve been purchased in January that would hit the ground running. We were lucky getting Suarez in January and that is the exception not the norm.
Had we just got anyone we’d have ended up Peter crouch.

Yes I agree we could have. There just wasn’t one available that could’ve contributed the way we wanted.
Probably. I am not gonna fire up transfer markt to argue against that. But someone like Perisic, experienced, determined, quality, who could play across the front three. Someone like kuyt would do too.
Maybe they looked at him and thought at 30 he wouldn’t cope with the league for the first 6-12 months or ever. It’s all about getting someone in who’d have been ready from the off.
As mad as that seems, it's not wrong.
Klopp does not buy players and throw them straight in, we know this, so he would firstly have to go through an adjustment period to gain a tactical understanding of how we play.
Also as many commentators (ex-players) have mentioned a new body can also sometimes have an adverse affect, both in the changing room and in a lack of tactical understanding on the pitch. It's likely, whether a player Klopp liked was available or not, he wouldn't want to rock the boat.
It's small margins that will win this title though Sean, unfortunately.
You're talking like tactical adjustment is standard for every one of his signings. Mane and Salah both played from the off, Keita was battered into submission before being in and out the team, Allison was straight in and allowed to make mistakes while adjusting. There's not really much excuse for going into a season with back up players you clearly don't trust. It's March and Origi got his first home start of the season last week. What's the point?
Well, we needed more options up front, so whatever method he prefers, it is a problem to solve.
Steve Nicol: “I would love to know [what Shaqiri has done wrong].
“I can’t believe that Origi started, I can’t believe that after taking him off, you put Lallana on before you put Shaqiri on.
“Anytime he’s [Shaqiri] stepped on the field for Liverpool, he’s made a difference.”
“I can’t believe that Origi started, I can’t believe that after taking him off, you put Lallana on before you put Shaqiri on.

I get the point but there has been times he’s made no difference whatsoever.
Pretty much all of his recent appearances too
