S.M.B. wrote: » "Clicking" is relative. Are they banging in the goals like city? Of course not but an average of 3 goals per game is ridiculous. Liverpool have scored the 4th most goals and have played the rest of the top 5. Let's see how they get on in their upcoming stretch of fixtures. I certainly won't be jumping ship anytime soon. If Mane does outperform Salah in the next 2/3 weeks I think I'll downgrade though.

As I said previously, Klopp has become Mr. Pragmatic this season, I think we still easily beat teams like Cardiff and Fulham at home with Salah and Mane getting great scores, but away from home I am not expecting a lot. A lot of gritty 1-0 wins. The match against Arsenal is the perfect example - 4-3 and 3-3 the two previous seasons. The other point to make is that Firmino has been off the boil completely all season and he was a big factor in Salah having a great season last year.

I’ve Firmino but he’ll be going after this weekend, he has been abysmal. He’s holding out Laca or stopping me upgrading a 4.5 mid to Martial and getting a premium defender. Out of Mane and Salah I can’t see the benefit of having Salah over Mane, he enables three other big hitters

Easier fixtures of Huddersfield RBS Cardiff RBS They scored a total of 9 goals. So just over an average of 2GPG. It's worth noting that 8 of those goals game at home. 4-0 and 4-0. My thoughts: Liverpool previously were always known to get results against the big 6 - I don't have stats off hand but I think they had one of the best records against top 6. The reason Liverpool mostly struggled for Top 4/Title pushes was they failed to break down lower tier teams and often had freak lose results. Now it seems to be the opposite. Hammering lower tier teams at home but playing tight against the big teams - this could be due to the fact they know they can't drop points against the big 6 for the title so they play more conservative ( Slick, Klopp, Busts may be able to give more insight as Liverpool fans) Going forward I would think that if Liverpool had a nice run of home fixtures against lower tier you can get away with Salah/Mane as I'd expect goals. With the evidence proof so far that Liverpool are struggling to break down the big teams doubling up may not be ideal. Alright I should get back to work. Hope you's enjoyed

Newcastle home to Bournemouth Bournemouth away to Newcastle! Bookies say Cardiff or Bournemouth, I think Newcastle are coming round. Thoughts?
