I think they're the oldest average age in the Premier League. But it's not just that, it's that most of their key players are at their peak now, so while they've probably still got a few years left with most of the squad, basically they're going to all need replacing at the same time.

Milner, Adrian 34
Henderson and Wijnaldum 30
Van Dijk, Matip, Firmino, Thiago, Shaqiri 29
Allison, Mane, Salah 28
Fabinho, Oxlade-Chamberlain 27
Robertson, Minamino 26
Keita, Origi 25
Jota, Tsimikas 24
Gomez, Phillips 23
Alexander Arnold 22
Jones, Williams 20

Their younger players aren't really regularly getting game time, and they're not actually that young anyway. So it depends what sort of appetite the Americans have for another massive spending spree when they're all in their early 30s.

Compare that to us:
Fernandinho 35
Aguero 32
Walker, Gundogan 30
De Bruyne, Mahrez 29
Ederson 27
Stones, Sterling, Bernardo, Laporte, Cancelo, Mendy 26
Ake, Steffan 25
Zinchenko, Rodri 24
Jesus, Dias 23
Torres, Foden, Garcia 20

A far more even spread meaning that yes, we need to replace Aguero, but for most of the other players on their way out, there's already a younger alternative that's actually getting regular game time. 8 of our starting eleven that beat them yesterday was 26 or under, and we brought on a 23 year old.
Absolutely. All their key players are in the older range where they can no longer provide the same levels of energy required by Klopp. They need rejuvenating. It appears they cannot afford it in spite of their recent success.

Pep has replaced ageing key players with equally as good young players playing a more flexible style.
 
Whenever I see stuff like that, and not just Liverpool, I can't help but be thankful I grew up in simpler times. Why anyone would actually find that shite entertaining let alone subscribe and engage with the prick is well beyond my comprehension. Each to their own I guess!
You're so right.
Our own "Mr Whippy" one's are completely unfunny, yet some on here clearly find it high comedy. Each to their own in these times I suppose.
 
Only if they get paid the rest of the Coutinho money, they are still owed 40 million.
It gets worse as they no longer have the Scandinavian cash or can rely on prize money.

No wonder they are broke as lack of cash flow bites with favours already called in.

Where is the FFP scrutiny of accounts?
