It's hard to know where to start with that post.
So playing near enough the same players game after game for two years with an almost biblical lack of injuries, means nobody could predict what would happen eventually?
If you go all out for the world's most expensive defender and goalkeeper, means less funds to buy decent back up players when the injuries start to pile up.
Rotating the squad also helps to minimise injuries, and when they do occur means the dip in form is less severe.
We have had many injuries to many main players over the last three years. Pep also lost his mother last year.
The media ignored our injuries with the narrative that we are a rich club with a large squad who shouldn't use that as an excuse. Last time i checked, all clubs have the same squad size. Our owners being rich means fuck all due to FFP.
When Peps mum died. i don't remember him berate/belittle interviewers and act like a complete ****.
The media, that most dippers somehow think are against them, have nearly fallen over themselves to excuse Klopps behaviour and poor results because of injuries and his mum.
As for your comments that "next year will be our year". Why?
You haven't got a deep quality squad. Your injuries have shown that. Only if you go on another injury free season will you be in with a shout.
Your biggest problem will be keeping your top players and your manager. They all seem burnt out.
There will be no new money incoming.
As for taking your medicine. Not having access to it, is the leading reason why you are picking up so many injuries this year!
Not to mention Pep donated €1 Million for Coronavirus relief.
He didn't do it to get media coverage, which is a good thing as it got next to none.
