Many Liverpool fans say every year ' this is our year' I personally haven't for quite a long time now, even when we've had some great seasons, I tend to let it play out but let me tell you, I'm pretty damn excited about this Liverpool team and I can finally say I genuinely think next season is ours! City will not dominate next season like they have this season, they are slowly but surely been figured out, not much to figure out though in my opinion, attack them and they crumble, sit back and they win, it's as simple as that.

I knew we'd win today, it had a win written all over that game, I was in no way nervous about it now take a step back and think, usually these are the kind of games we WOULD be worried about, many of us wasn't because of the form we are in. Klopp is definitely sending us in the right direction, I am delighted for yet another 3 points. Good luck to Crystal Palace on Monday :)

2nd in the league and I really do think we'll be second at the end of the season, the other teams are nowhere near as consistent as we are.

Win, lose or draw it's always a pleasure to be a Liverpool fan but right now it's really exciting me, we have a lot to look forward to :)

Have a good evening/ Sunday reds!

Salah you, I'm always nervous before any game we play cos well, it's football and for every City type team that we beat which is great, there is a Swansea right around the corner. That is the reality that keeps me cautiously optimistic.

As for where we are as a club and team under Klopp, I fully agree with you. Just imagine or recall where we were when Klopp came to us. We were hustling with Saints and WH who finished above us in 15/ 16 (Yeah, that happened) with City, Utd, Arsenal Spurs and year, Leicester well ahead of us. And look how much has changed in just well, one and a half seasons after that. We are well ahead of Arsenal and Leicester, and neck and neck with Utd, Spurs and Chelsea and oh by the way, we are kicking butt and taking names in the CL.

We have come so far is such a relatively short time that sometimes, I have to pinch myself. I know trophies are important and should always be part of our annual goals BUT to do that, you have to take that first (esp. in our situation when Klopp arrived) in stopping the rot, get it right in the TW, break into that top 4, STAY in it at least and become more consistent and with some luck, the trophies will come. Klopp has succeeded in all of these things and since he is NEVER satisfied, LFC is not done yet making waves. Keep the faith, lads. Red Till I'm Dead!

Brover dint we finish 2nd to city before klopp arrived in 2014 and should have won the league. I'm excited too and think this is the best team and squad I've seen. BUT football is so unpredictable and next year can be so different. Look at Chelsea and conte they looked incredible last year. this year I fully expect them to finish 5th and conte to leave. We need to continue to push forward. Strengthen the team further and keep hold of our stars.

Well said salah. I admit that I was nervous about this game as I will be for every game until we qualify for ucl next year. The swans manager said to beat Liverpool you have to give them the ball. I thought we may be in trouble today and it looked a bit worrying for 40 minutes but the boys are class. Salah Firmino and mane were great but the ox, Karius and Vvd stood out today for me.

I say this every year, EVERY year but I think next year will be out year. Summer recruitment could be key do it is vital we finish top 4, if not we need to win the ucl coz we need to be in that comp.

We are playing brilliantly under Klopp and are unfortunately competing against an exceptional City side. I don't really get how they are getting found out though whilst we are going from strength to strength. They will be just as strong next season if not stronger. We just need to make sure that we don't drop the points we have this season if we want to compete.

For sure Jayden. There is no sly counter attacking formula that is key to city's success. They have great players and play great football. I think even if you saw peps team talk before a game City would still go out and win the game. For me, we are only just a touch behind them if at all. I think we are the best 2 teams in the league, the reason we are so far behind them falls to Southampton. If they had bit the bullet and sold us Vvd in the summer I honestly think we would be way ahead of utd and spurs, maybe not top but not far off it.

I honestly can't feel it yet; "next year is our year". However, I'm definitely excited to see how the team will do next year. Hopefully better. Last night game still gave me the nervous feeling. Some of the players did still gave me that.

I haven't been into a football match watching any teams that I supported. I can't imagine how the nervous feeling would be like. I'm sure it will be much greater than the feeling when watching it live on TV which already makes me jumps and shouts. Yeah I jumped and shouted last night, especially at Can.

SS, I know what you mean, before the game I was fully confident but as the first half was progressing I was getting a little edgy until we scored then I knew it'd be a win, thank god! I think the whole team played pretty well overall, but I do agree with you on Karius, Ox and VVD, especially Ox, absolutely stellar performance from him. He's shocked many people including me, I see him playing a vital part of this team.

Jayden, I'm not disagreeing with you because you make valid points but I personally wouldn't call City exceptional, they've done well this season, other teams never expected it, their attack is amazing, their midfield is as good, but exceptional would be if all of their team was good, problem for them is their defence isn't which is why I'd say they aren't exceptional. Next season I just can't see them doing what they've done this season unless they invest massively in their defence.

Teams are afraid of their attack and rightly so but look at us, we went and attacked them, we didn't sit back waiting for them to break through and score we gave them it as much as they did us and we got the 3 points, we scored against them for fun, we made it look easy really, it was their attack what got us on edge because they are brilliant attacking, defensively not so much. I think if more teams went at them like we did, they would be nowhere near where they are in the league right now.

City will always be up there now, they have it all to be successful but it's not all about how much you spend it's about getting it right and they aren't as complete as some may think, at least not in my opinion they aren't.

I mean for all I know they'll go win the next 3+ premier league titles, but can you see that? I really can't, they'll win it this season obviously but next season imo will be a different story.

Some interesting points there Salah mate but I'd still say City are exceptional. They will end this season with a minimum of a league and cup double ( we throw all kinds of praise at our team and they haven't won a trophy in years) Yes we made their defence look weak but that's because our attacking 3 are above exceptional. For as good as we were that day they were a whisker away from grabbing a draw and they made our defence look terrible also. In the last 7 days city have won a trophy and played some of the best football I have seen this season (bar us) to demolish Arsenal in the league. I think city's biggest and closest rivals are us without a doubt. I can see Chelsea and Utd spending huge this summer and if we strengthen our right areas then next year could undoubtedly be our year, but it won't be from city being found out it will be from us finding another level from our defence to midfield.

I can't argue against your post Jayden mate, great points too.

Love your optimism Salah but you are a week too early. let's hope you can post the same post next Saturday around 2:30.

I agree with salah, City are good but they're a long way from proving they're great. A couple of times they have faced adversity this year, lfc and Wigan, also shaktar doneskt and have been left wanting. I think their defence is the issue.
