Hate to say it but this will be a 3/4 window rebuild, taking us up to Jürgen’s departure season,
We’re talking 6,7,8 players here at least, we have fallen off the cliff and still dropping, the lack of investment as well as Jürgen’s stubbornness has resulted in a squad devoid of team spirit or cohesion,
We once could pride ourselves in our togetherness but sadly that has long gone and now it looks like we play like we’re strangers, gathered together for a quick runaround,
They say the bigger you are the harder you fall, I can’t think of a more accurate analogy that describes our capitulation from attacking on all four fronts last season to the total failure of this, it’s abundantly clear & obvious that this version of LFC is broken and not even Bob the builder can fix never mind Jürgen,
In the grand old days of Bob Paisley re freshing the squad was a regular season on season, he would keep every squad player on their toes not knowing if the new season would be their last, especially those who had shoe in starts most weeks and a new face would appear challenging your position,
For how many seasons did we scream out for back up for Trent & Robbo, same for a creative midfielder, and a capable keeper, before Mo we were lacking attacking options, as we type we won’t be far off having to look for replacements for them too by the time we have rebuilt the current squad,
It seems inevitable we’ll out of Europe after our visit to Madrid, and we’re a defeat or two away from being out of the CL altogether next season, I’d prefer us not playing Thursday/Sunday although I suppose we’ll get used to it, anyhoo in the event of both of the above scenarios happening are real and if so then I wouldn’t mind if Klopp wielded the axe early and introduced a few kids from the academy to see out the season,
Minimally it’s a base to start from, see what we have in house before spunking the many millions it’s likely to take for us to be a threat again,
Whatever it takes basically, that’s where we’re at sadly now, none of us know the extent of investment FSG need to make to allow Jürgen’s targets to arrive but we’re talking probably record breaking numbers here, it has to be, that’s the price raised by the oily lot that buys the success they crave, and we have to spend similar crazy amounts just to dine at the top table,
I think most of us since last Tuesday have been on our collective knees, compounding the pain with that Sh*te show at Palace, not sure I’ve felt so low in quite a while, but although it doesn’t feel like it right now we will be back, we were born in 1892, we’ve been lower than this in our life and risen like the phoenix, we will do again, cos we have that Bouncebackability all great teams have,
We are LIVERPOOL and we belong in the upper echelons of Europe’s elite clubs, we’re simply having a sabbatical and recharging of the batteries and injecting new cells, it won’t be long before we’re a powerhouse once more and gathering cups in May !!
