Liverpool thread 2017/18

They were 25 behind City, but they did pick up steam towards the end. New season and all teams start with a 0 on the table. So we as City fans should not assume that we will be 25 ahead this time as well. Irrespective of whether Fabinho was their first choice or not, its a very good addition to the their team. Now just hope we get our business done before WC begins. Would love one LB and a tall striker to what we already plan to get.

They where 18 points behund at Christmas. 25 points behind at the end. So they slipped another 7 points!

Can out Fabinho in - does that make them that much better?

Yeah he's a good signing for sure.

Will improve them.

we would still need to drop off badly and them improve massively for them to make a challenge

They need to get a world class keeper to get closer for the title and another partner for VVD. Tall order.

and they currently seem to be targeting mostly midfielders ?

With the way they play they could sign whoever they want in midfield and it won't make a blind bit of difference. "Energy" and "putting themselves about" is all Liverpool midfielders are asked to provide.

Or maybe that's all they had to offer at a high level and Klopp used what he had in a system that did pretty well. With talent, you use talent. Next year might be diff

In their last 6 league games they picked up 9 points from a possible 18. I wouldn't call that picking up steam.

I think they’re going to be a threat next season, but will fall short, mentally. Again.

Yes because Milner might become a world class midfield player.
