Jurgen Klopp's decision not to bring in some experienced, world-class signings to bolster the squad struck many fans as questionable. But what he's probably trying to do is allow the current players to gel and form an even stronger bond before. It's all very well having top stars coming into the team, but there's no guarantee that they'll integrate.
Klopp is relying heavily on the side that almost clinched the title last season to match that superb run of form, but this is a tough ask and may be seen as a lot of pressure to some players - particularly those who are considered key to their tactics.
Ultimately, there's a huge gap between the top two and the rest of the teams in the league. How long it'll stay like that is anyone's guess, but right now the Reds deserve a spot close to the top.
