Maybe, after winning four in a row, we could be a little more magnanimous, even while acknowledging their cult-like behavior. Their name has been on the trophy for months and Slot did a great job in his first season.

Hopefully, we will be back next season with a rejuvenated squad that can compete against the other Top 8 teams and not have to rely on a long unbeaten run in April-May to get into the Champions League.

I have a feeling ‘26 is a transition season where new and young talent beds in and a few older players enjoy a final season, with City having another big transfer year next summer for Pep’s final season. All of that will make winning the League harder, especially if both Liverpool and Arsenal make the improvements they need and the likes of Newcastle & Villa advance.

It’s our job now to make sure we do our part to stop them repeating, and a good first step would be taking 4 or more points from them for a change!

84 points and not have to challenge FA cup or CL is nothing to write home about.
They didnt win one game after becoming champions thats not very impressive not at all.

The not winning a game after becoming champions would be slightly concerning to me.

When we won the league in 17/18 we continued to win as we wanted 100 points. That drive and desire to win carried through into the season after when we won all four domestic trophies. I do wonder whether Liverpool taking their eye off the ball may hinder them next season.
 
I guess supposedly meaning more only goes to highlight the fact they hardly win it. Two in 30 odd years. So I get it, it's a rarity, like Leicester being over the moon winning it.

Winning 4 in a row, naturally you get somewhat used to it ..

I actually they are in for an alarming drop off next season and wouldnt be decked if they didnt end up in the top 4 ...............they took advantage of a poor PL this season with RVD and Salah having seasons of there lives ...........you think next season will be the same ??????

After the last couple of seasons with the mid-season World Cup this season was always going to be all about who could keep their players fit and Liverpool were the team that managed that.
Add to the lack of injuries their usual favourable refereeing decisions (only team to get a penalty and a goal against chalked off for holding in the box) and it just adds up to one of the most underwhelming seasons football wise since the Covid/VAR season.
Not a single big team in Europe has played anywhere near their best this season and this will probably be the same again next season for the teams in the club World Cup.
Mostly this season will be remembered as the year that negative, cheating European style football took over the Premier League with the amount of diving, time wasting, fake head injuries breaking up play, tactical timeouts, etc increasing dramatically. All tactics that Liverpool are adept at and have been using for decades, hence their success in European football and relative failure in the domestic game until VAR made "there's contact so he's entitled to go down" a legitimate tactic for those with no sense of shame or sportsmanship.
They're liars, cheats and thieves from the owners all the way down to their feral followers and an embarrassment and a cancer to the English game.

Are they still counting Harvey Elliot as an academy product despite making his premier league debut for fulham? Northern irelands conor Bradley brought in at 18 is from their academy too I suppose.

Not an impressive stat when you completely break the definition of an academy player.

They've got TAA who has his bags packed and two peripheral figures in Jones and Quansah, hardly a squad full of scousers is it.

Seen a few pictures now of the rail network dangerously overcrowded with Dippers heading there.

Why do they do this, the city will already be busy with the music festival and ship visiting the port, and they arrange this on Bank Holiday!

The Council and Police have already asked for flares and smoke bombs not to be used because of multiple incidents of burns having to be treated.

Disaster written all over this!

I'm braced for reports of a crowd exceeding one billion fans, factchecked by The Echo, TalkSh!te, Phil Thompson, John Aldridge and Donald Trump.
