This team missed out on a quad. Wtf has happened
Thing is we had the mentality on our side then. How could it not be when you're challenging on all front. Nothing is better for the mind and keeping us focused. But looking back, I feel there were hints of trouble. The fact that we looked so flat and uninventive in Paris was troubling. The draw against Tottenham where we squeezed a 1-1 result showed a severe lack of creativity and new thought.
And once the adrenaline of competing on all fronts right at the end was removed, with a new season and a long slog ahead, it left us naked and exposed to the issues that were there. And rather than react on it, we've given up the ghost before the season has got going. Such is football.
And the fact is, without the billions to spend like City, we can't renew and keep afresh all the time. Liverpool will only be successful in waves.
So let's try to keep this season to damage limitation. And then break the team down and begin again for next season. Use this season to identify the core players from the current squad who will take us onto the next age.
