If at the start of the season, you were told Liverpool were going to finish 3rd and have a trophy, you would have taken it with open arms. We finished 5th last season, and EVERYONE was talking about rebuild the midfield and steadying the ship this season.
This is still a good season.
If you (as a liverpool fan) allowed yourself to get worked up by media hyping up Klopps swan song and now you're throwing your toys out the pram, and want to sell Salah, Nunez, Diaz, Robertson, Trent, Szoboslai because we didn't win the league.
It's time to grow up.
Simple fact is WE ARE NOT GOOD ENOUGH, it’s as simples that imo, apart from Macca, our midfield is no where near where it should be, Endo has done well, but, he’s not the answer, Jones too inconsistent, Harvey enthusiastic as he is isn’t quite there yet, Szloboslai is learning very quickly that this league will swallow you up and he has to improve massively if we wants a career here, Macca has been simply outstanding, despite at time playing as a DM, he’s wasted there and is much more effective at the top end of the diamond,
At the back young Bradley has been brilliant coming in for Trent, so much so, I think it’s time Trent moved forward permanently, Konate is solid but injury wise it’s not what we need, hopefully he’ll be more regular next season, young Quansah like Bradley has been brilliant, and he’ll only get better and better, Virgil has been immense, his leadership is very good , good communication and he doesn’t mince his words which I like, Robbo after his injury has been very good but you’d expect that from him, he for me has maybe two seasons left so we need to be seeking out his replacement soon, Kostas isn’t the answer,
Gakpo has shown of late he’s a keeper, (not in goal) and I like what he brings to the table, G’Berch has done fairly well is improving and definitely one for the future, Jota the slotta, no need to say anything he is what it says on the tin, goals with a capital G, now the sticky bits……
Nunez, do we keep him or F**k him off ?
I think we keep, it’s only his composure that needs sorting out, he gives everything else 100%, he gets into the right positions, he can assist, create space for others and he’s a f***in menace, Captain Chaos indeed, he’s staying,
Diaz, love him or loathe him you can’t say he doesn’t try, I’d love him to stay but something tells me he won’t or if a offer came in he’d want to go, so I’m on the fence with him,
And Mo, with the new fella coming in we will need to find the funds other than those afforded by FSG to bring in top drawer quality players, and I mean top drawer, better than we have now aside from Macca, and the only way we do that is by selling, at 31 years old that’s still a good age if you have looked after yourself as Mo has done, so if the Arabs come back offering anything North of £120-£150M we should and I think we will take it !!
Getting back to the start, we haven’t been good enough, yes we’re in transition and maybe Jürgen had he stayed would have enhanced our squad particularly midfield, but it’s absolutely crystal clear we need a massive influx of quality, we have the nucleus of a very good side, but it needs better players for us to be challenging again next season ??
