I expected us to have conceded less, to be honest, but it's testament to Klopps team in that we were not quite as chaotic and frenzied as sometimes the media likes to portray. There remains a greater sense of control under Slot, but there are times we fail to raise the intensity often enough, so it's swings and roundabouts. The true measure of Slot/Klopp comparison between this year and last will be whether we still have legs to consistently win games through March and April.
Yeah but apart from that the big difference this year is that Arse and City aren't as good. We're a little bit better than we were but are the best at the minute. I don't think anyone thought we were clearly the best last year even when we were top for a while because arse and city kept battering teams and looked capable of continuing to do so, whereas we were winning most of our games in the last five minutes and that can only last so long. It feels a lot more stable now.
If City get anything out of their Arsenal game - and we win both Bournemouth AND our game in hand vs Everton - then I think the buffer is enough to see us through whichever injuries we get.
At the moment all signs are good, even if a couple of players do seem to be overplayed. I'm sure Slot knows what an incredible position he is in though.

Frankly I thought we were rather unimpressive much of last season but the points kept racking up until I convinced myself I didn't know shit.
And then the wheels fell off.
It all boils down to whether Slot has the ability to counter a full-Dreamie season wrecking jinx and our ability to contain him from doing so.
On the flip side we could lose both, Arsenal win and it’s super tight at the top.
Part of me thinks there is 50% chance of us losing both games.
Half of you?
Clearly talking out of his arse.
