Happens EVERY close season mate. They convince themselves that they have the best players in the world,aided and abetted by a fawning media.The Rags must be the only team that improves without actually playing , since lockdown the positivity and optimism coming out of the Swamp via the media has been meteoric , by mid June they could be compared to the great 1970 Brazil team , Pogba or Pele you can see the similarities.
If they should get off to a flying start to a season(as happened a couple of years ago) the fans and the media whip themselves into a demented frenzy with all the usual crap about champions elect etc. And then around Autumn time it hits home that they are really just a very ordinary mid-table side,who may get an EL place if the other mid-table sides don't perform too well.
It's the Scouse boom-bust cycle transferred 35 miles east down the A580.
