Another win. Going really well but I can't help but think we should be doing even better, a couple of really questionable results.

Not going to complain though.

If we beat Hull and Sunderland like we should have, well...

Not that it matters anyway now but this sort of form is nice to see. Gonna be a messy Christmas period though.
 
Leverkusen also lost? lololol

As for us, not much you can do today, glad the break is here. Two big mistakes by Sarr and Durm but that's totally okay at such a young age. Even more so considering what an amazing job they've done so far this season. Genuinely felt sorry for Sarr, though, but this proves that Klopp was right. Sarr isn't quite ready for Bundesliga football yet or at least not ready for Bundesliga football with a completely "random" defense. And in attack, well, also injuries. On paper, the lineup looks great but not when most of those play had hardly any rest during the whole season because of injuries of other players. Especially Sahin, Reus and Lewy had to play like every match and it's normal that they are a bit tired at this point.
 
We really should have scored more goals today, had so many openings and ball across the box which should have been finished.

Happy with the win though obv. Really wanted the clean sheet cos we have been conceding too many and our GD needs it to but yeah...Buttner.

Getting better. Need to keep winning over Xmas and the turn of the year.

Decent enough performance today. Agree with Viva about the scoreline. Really should've scored a few more, but some of our finishing and final passes were dire.

Yeah, under normal circumstances we are still a better team than Leverkusen, Gladbach, or Wolfsburg. From a financial standpoint, missing third place would obviously be disastrous, but unless we keep being riddled by injuries in the second half of the season, we should be fine.

And you are still missing key players. I think the break comes at the right time the team is exhausted. Leverkusen now playing as expected. If Gladbach wins tomorrow it's going to be a winter on 4th place.

newcastle pls


So happy with today. Crystal Palace were completely outplayed. 3-0 away wins don't come often.

We have Stoke at home on Thursday. That will be fun to see.

To be honest, I just can't see us finishing fourth or even third if we aren't getting fucked with injuries like we are right now. Leverkusen will struggle at some point and I don't see Gladbach keeping this up, especially as they are in this good position because we're shit. We will be good when Hummels, Schmelzer, Bender, Gündogan and a fit Piszczek are back.

Sokratis is an upgrade to Santana. And Santana wanted to be first choice, so well, what do you expect us to do? Bench Hummels or Subotic because of him lol?

Leverkusen is already struggling, they could have been, I don't know, 11 points up or something by now? I'm expecting Gladbach and VW to continue doing fine but we should still be the better team IF Gündogan etc return.

And, yeah, selling Santana was a good move, Sokratis is an upgrade and we would never have kept both.
 
Suso benched. Some Almeria fan on twitter was saying that he should leave if he doesn't care for the team or some shit like that. He also mentioned Suso was caught drinking a beer before the Espanyol game.

What's strange is that he's also a Liverpool fan.


edit: He's not the only Almeria fan mentioning the beer incidents.
