Description

Liverpool are enjoying their joint best start to a Premier League season, and are just two points behind Manchester City, but universal acclaim for Jurgen Klopp's high-flying side is in short supply.So, for our latest View from the Kop podcast, Sean Bradbury, Paul Philbin and debutante Emilia Bona join host Paul Wheelock to question why that is the case.Is it pressure? Expectation? Or is it Klopp's change in tactics? That in turn leads to a discussion over the merits of - if not boring - less entertaining football v winning football.Or is the form of the players? Paul Philbin, for one, believes the fact that the Reds have yet to truly blow a team out of the water this season, unlike on countless occasions last season, could be down to the way that Roberto Firmino is being utilised.Firmino has scored just one goal in his last 11 games and just four in the 22 since Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's serious injury.But is he being given a chance to score? And what kind of problem does the form of Xherdan Shaqiri cause both Firmino and Klopp?Liverpool's Champions League chances, and what priority they should give the competition they went so desperately close to winning last season, are then mulled over.And the podcast rounds off with a passionate debate about the decision of the 20 Premier League clubs, including Liverpool and their Merseyside rivals Everton, to hand a £5m farewell bonus to outgoing executive chairman Richard Scudamore.
