Liverpool's defending is so bad. Every time Villa had the ball in their own half, they had an opportunity to play Watkins in. If you play a high line, you need an imperious central defender and Van Dijk is no longer that player. You would think that Slot would change tactics so as not to leave his defence so exposed.
 
Got a big summer ahead. After spending half a billion last summer, this summer they need a Robertson replacement at left back, a right back that isn't shit and stays fit, a vvd replacement, potentially a konate replacement if he doesnt sign a new bumper contract. That's an entire new back 4.

Add a keeper to that, rumours Allison is off and he is always injured now anyway and they don't rate their £40m backup keeper.

That's already a huge, costly summer and That's just to pretty much stand still.

Salah will need replacing, ekitike will miss most of the season with his awful injury, will Isak stay fit and will Wirtz finally turn up? Arguments for at least 2 new forwards then midfield needs reinforcements too.

Seems impossible to fix that many issues even if they're willing to spend another half a billion. Don't think it matters who the manager is next year the squad is in a bad state and needs a couple of windows to reinvigorate it.

They're what happens if you aren't constantly refreshing the squad, might not need it in that moment but you're just creating a backlog further down the line when evertmything needs changing at once.

We've been very good at moving on players in recent years to prevent this from happening to us.

We could easily have given kdb a new contract last summer and he's still here having had another injury hit season and could have given walker a new contract as he becomes a shadow of his former self and not brought in khusanov and Cherki and instead would be needing those replacements this summer as well as replacements for stones and Bernardo.
People were hammering Txiki and Vianna on here for what happened to us, despite it being totally normally for a dominant team to rebuild. We’ve done it and are on a trajectory of getting better again, without doing the ludicrous business Liverpool have. They’ve spunked a huge amount of their budget on positions they don’t need, buying players not good enough or/and injury prone.

I think they’re fucked personally.

we still hung on to players too long after treble but what do i know
 
Always funny to see these cunts lose.


I do wonder if the fact they need to spend yet another huge wad on players, on the back of last window, with less income, is why the PL is suddenly looking at introducing fines instead of a real punishment for financial breaches!

I think that team are no.longer listening to the manager and want him out .

Let's hope so . I loathe them but now I'm having some fun trying to " Imagine Being Us" .

We’ve been guilty of that a few times this season
 
Think we're all being a little bit harsh on them as they are one of the few clubs that could finish above the rags and hopefully keep them out of the CL. Not this season perhaps but they are certainly better equipped than others below the current top five.
This is most noticeable at the moment with new midfield coach Howard Webb getting match-wiining performances from the likes of Atwell, Tierney and Oliver.
