I agree scruttocks, which just shows how well Klopp has done.
Yes he has spent a lot of money. But he’s also recouped a lot, spent a lot less than Pep and took over a squad which was a laughing stock at the time compared to a squad which had won the prem a year or two before pep took it over.
And he’s competing with them, and currently out pacing them.

Who knew Mendy was injury prone eh? They signed him injured ffs
Liverpool don't lack cover at rb at all, that's nonsense, and Id have Milner on a par with Zinchenko tbh who looks lost without Laporte.
There is an argument four our front three, but I don't see how that lacks more depth than City's defence. Their back up keeper is mince too.
Shame about Sane but we've missed £90m worth of players in Ox and Keita so that's that. People don't even remember Lallana is on the books half the time.
City have the squad they built. They signed a rb for £60m rather Tha a cb. Boo hoo.

Bravo is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than Adriaan, do you even watch fooitball
The guy stopped you from winning the community shield and was pinging balls over Trents head like he was playing the u12's. Adrian cant even pass the ball 5 meters without giving it to the opposition striker.
Zinchenko is mince but if Milner was to play a season at full back he would be exposed.

be careful of this word "competing" especially if you follow it up with "less money" In the long term its all meaningless what your net soend is and how well your manager has performed against the oil rich clubs if you dont win trophies.
Wenger did it for so long "competed" and Poch has done it for the best part of 4 years but look where they are now.
ultimately you have to back everything with trophies, thats what people remember
Good thing he’s made us champions of Europe then

Liverpool now are a bit like the Fergie teams of old, in that Klopp's management has made them much more than just a sum of their parts. The way they're playing, they could lose important players without the overall performance dipping that much. Even when it does, most of the time they're showing the capability of the SAF teams of old of scraping over the line.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Thing is Fergies sides never had a consistent league rival even close to the level of City
----------------------------------------------------------------------
True but the original claim was we would struggle for top four.

Milner did play a full season at LB. Wasnt exposed.
I don't know how anyone could say we'll bottle it given we still have to play City twice which could easily cut the lead to just 2 points.
8 point lead after we've played City twice and maybe you'll have a point.

Yeah, but if you lost both games to City that would be bottling it considering I feel you aren’t a worse team than them and when you’re due to face them in a couple of weeks there’s every chance their defence will be in a poor state

Well considering Liverpool have already won the CL with this team it's been a huge success regardless.
All teams go through cycles, United were dominant more recently than most and are now in a worse position than Spurs, Arsenal and Chelsea.
While it would be a massive shame if this Liverpool squad didn't win the Prem they've already hit levels I'd argue we never did under Wenger as they got 97 points along with a CL win. I'd put this Liverpool side above Chelsea's best too.

How would losing to a side a lot of people consider superior be bottling it?
The term is used incorrectly on here an awful lot.
The term bottling it gets way overused, not that many sides actually bottle things.
Newcastle bottled the league, as did united when city chased them down with like 8 games to go, id even argue rafas facts season was a bit of a bottle job.
Outside of that not many others really have.

If you lose your 8 point gap mainly to losing twice to City it would be very poor considering you’re not a worse team than them (and in one of those games they will struggle to put out a defence)
If you want to win the league you have to believe you are the best and dropping 6 points to your rivals isn’t good enough

Either way, you guys are playing City in a couple of weeks and they won’t really have a defence worthy of their class so I’d expect you to beat them - and if that puts you 11 points clear (and I’m not even sure they’ll beat Palace on Saturday so could be more) at that point only fools would back against you
If city don't win the league have they bottled it?
we started on the same number of points at the start of the season yet they have spent considerably more on players.
If united don't get 4th have they bottled it? they have spent considerably more on players and surely they should be making 4th ahead of say Leicester?
It will be an almighty bottle job if they fail to win it, given that City have key injuries in defence, everybody else is in transition and they play with 12 men every week. Add to that the intense media drive to see Pool win the league and favouritism across the board, and they really have no excuses.

My nain problem with saying we bottled it last year is that it gives absolutely no credit to a City side that racked up 98 points.
Look we all know people are stupid, it's just the way it is.
I don’t think anyone is saying Liverpool bottled it last season

It will be an almighty bottle job if they fail to win it, given that City have key injuries in defence, everybody else is in transition and they play with 12 men every week. Add to that the intense media drive to see Pool win the league and favouritism across the board, and they really have no excuses.

My nain problem with saying we bottled it last year is that it gives absolutely no credit to a City side that racked up 98 points.
Look we all know people are stupid, it's just the way it is.

I don’t think anyone is saying Liverpool bottled it last season
