Klopp has shown he's prepared to wait for the right player to become available.
Sometimes that means short term pain for long term gain.
Would much rather that than what went before, when recruitment was scattergun.
Effectively took an extra year to get van Dijk & Keita deals done.
If we're after who I think we're after then I can wait another year if it means it gets done.
Though I appreciate we live in an age where everyone wants the new shiny signing and wants it now.
The CL win has this fan base believing Klopp and LFC are invincible.
Let's take a quick look back at that tournament.
LFC got destroyed in 3 road matches to open the tournament
LFC did dominate vs one of the weakest Bayern teams in recent history and against an overachieving Portuguese team
LFC got crushed vs Barca on the road then their subs pulled off the miracle of miracles with a savy trick play.
Lastly, LFC got to play a rickety Tottenham team in a horribly played game.
LFC earned their trophy but in no way was LFC a juggernaut that steamrolled Europe, like Real Madrid typically has.
My point: The team's vulnerabilities were on display last year despite the final outcome
The good news: LFC should cake walk through the opening 6 matches in CL as the #1 seed this year and potentially have cash to spend in the winter transfer period to bolster the team if needed.
