Everybody thought that ! No-one envisaged us at the top at this stage (or any) of this season.

Wow really? He could never lose. The silent majority have spoken.
COUGH COUGH
You've said quad for three seasons now...
I’m consistent.
So did I - but the assessment on Thompson is unfair - my understanding is that they both graduated together but Thompson was sold - I do wonder had we had kept him then Gerrard and him long-term would have done well together. It would have been healthy competition that would have maybe forced him to raise his game.
Yeah, I had big hopes too. I STILL think there's a helluva player in there, but it is looking less and less likely that it will happen at Liverpool. It wouldn't surprise me if he goes to Spain or Italy and starts getting big numbers.
It's not a big number though. Indeed, of the numbers, it is surely the least.
One is also massive considering there’s an infinite amount of numbers between zero and one.
The thing I think I got most wrong, and it's an extensive list, is that I don't miss Klopp nearly as much as I thought I would or at all really.
That is not meant to be disrespectful to the bloke who I think the world of both as a manager and a person.
I was totally devastated when he announced he was leaving a couldn't bring myself to watch the announcement video for days.
By the time he left I had become totally reconciled to it. Perhaps all the emotion had been wrung out of me by then.
No doubt the so far successful start of Slot has lessened the blow of losing Jurgen and I am not pining for him in any way at all but there no notable mourning and ruing his departure in the summer either.
As I said, I still hold Klopp in the highest of esteem but he is drifting into the category of fond former manger like Ged and Rafa much quicker that expected.
Strange.

There's one specific armchair expert here who is missing in this thread.
Now I'm not the one to call people out by name but the amount of "Hodor'ing" this person did for this certain player was on an epic level.
So, just come out and admit that you were wrong and all will be good in the world.
No one takes this seriously, anyway. Everyone gets it wrong.
It's Christmas mate, let's make Jebus smile.
You might be on the receiving end of some playful ribbing, nothing serious.

Quansah, I thought he was the next VVD.
Nunez, I thought would kick on and become the talisman
CJ and Grav proved me wrong by being very good
Robbo, didn't think he would be so haphazard
Trent, I thought put his laziness behind him. He thinks he is the next pirlo or something
Konate, I had written off because he breaks down so often but under Slot's system he has been awesome

Ditto, Kenny who.....?
I couldn't even pronounce his surname.
I was wrong about Nunez and Gravenberch, but loads have said them already. The one that sticks out otherwise is Gakpo. I've never really worked him out cos he's a weird player, but is clearly quietly effective rather than total shit as I thought earlier in the year.
And he's 6'4 and kind of slow off the mark. What I want from a winger is someone fast and tricky and shit like Jeremy Doku.
With no end product?
Haha I do imagine sometimes how madly frustrated this forum would get at someone like Doku and wonder if its equivalent to Nuñez
We have Doku already. He's called Luis Diaz.
Diaz is twenty times the player Doku is.
Well i'll tell you what's the biggest and most pleasant surprise for me so far.
The implosion of Citeh.
But now i've got another thing to worry about. The Chavs are back.
They've got 3 flipping first teams on rotation ! That alone deserves banning by itself.
