It's 90% good players, management and hard work and 10% pure luck. For example injuries, bounce of the ball and fortunate decisions.
A Gerrard slip did for us under Rodgers proof enough it can literally boil down to fate.
Man City still have the strongest group after several seasons of heavy investment and in those terms this is our first, and by today's standards not off the charts cash.
My main concern is the right side CB and RB in terms of quality and experience. The CF positions if Sturridge breaks down again.
Klopp needs to pace our campaign, win in 2nd gear where possible and make good decisions around rotation. Killing teams 4+ every week with heavy metal before Christmas will catch up in the New Year.
We need to be smart and lucky with players that deliver maximum points on bad days, good days will take care of themselves.
