I doubt there'll be many, if any, points dropped against the bottom 10 teams by either of us from now in. Think the starting elevens and squads just have too much quality and approaches to breaking teams down.
I think the "slips" will come in the games you'd expect them to, versus the rest of the top 6 and possibly away to those in 7-10 - I think even those are doubtful.
This break, and relaxed fixture list, has come at the perfect time for us:
- Bit of sun
- Intense but controlled training sessions
- Time to get players fit
- Time to give the right rest to the right players
- A chance to get away from everything here
- Team bonding ahead of the run-in to the season.
Also Klopp will have the opportunity to meet collectively and plant any motivational or stress relieving seeds he may feel are needed - focussing minds for the challenges ahead and reinforcing the one game at a time mantra.
I've pretty much fully embraced this myself. Don't *really* care about City's results, don't *really* care about who we play next, don't *really* care about when, if, where, how, who points are dropped. All that will take care, and happen when it happens, or doesn't. I just wanna watch this team play football. Can't wait for Leicester. I don't really wanna think past that right now.
