Liverpool FC thread

I think the reason they're a good distance away from other teams is because United and Chelsea are an absolute shambles. 

Liverpool did do way better than I thought they would though, klopp had them in outrageous form for a few months. They were finding ways to win games that they shouldn't have been winning but wheels have well and truly come off now. Salah and van dijk finished, midfield nowhere near good enough. Harvey elliot  and nunez one of the worst signings in history. He's left Liverpool in some shape and I'm all for it

He's total chaos la, love watching him, best striker in the werld, better than Haaland

That’s down to Klopp!! Liverpool have over achieved with that squad, they’ll be a mess without him.

Time waits for no man. 

32 in 7 weeks and has played a lot of football over the past 7 seasons. Usually 50+ games.

He's still a very good player, but is someone who relies on his speed and mobility to keep defenders honest.

Liverpool's long term future depends on their ability to replace van Dijk and Salah. They haven't been able to replace Mané. Díaz is a good player, but hasn't really pushed on due to injury and his father's kidnapping. 13 goals this season is a decent return. 24 goals from 93 games overall isn't though.

Darwin is a donkey. There's no hiding from it. You can't win titles with him as your main ST.

If they got a serious offer, they should probably cash in. 

You'd expect Edwards to use the money well to bring in 2 quality players.

If you'd have said in early or mid March time, around the time when they seemed to just be winning every week no matter how they played, scoring deep into injury time winners at Forest and winning the Carabao Cup with a load of kids on, that their season would peter out in this way, Liverpool fans would be very disappointed. 

To not even make the Europa League final, which seemed pretty straight forward at the time and to celebrate with another sort of trophy was a major blow. 

The United FA Cup defeat seemed to be the catalyst for the demise

And this is a valid point. Only so many times you can go to the well

Their newl look midfield has been more technical this season. They lack a natural DM since Fabinho left though. Endo isn't as physical. That's an area they need to address, as a lot of their midfielders are dribbled past multiple times per game.

Mac Allister has been quality. They need to sign someone to anchor that midfield. Arsenal and City have Rice and Rodri who are both 6ft+. Every top team needs a tall DM, in my opinion.
