re: Match Day - 5/6 Foden's Going to Score a Brace Edition

Always better to win one and lose one than to draw both matches.

yea they had a ton of draws tho

Obviously we’ve drawn more than City and I won’t disagree that there were some draws that we could’ve gone harder for wins (see at Old Trafford) but did we really have a lot of draws? Arsenal had 12 in their invincible season

City just have a ridiculously good team and have gone on an amazing run to close out the year. They deserve it

After city wins the title this year Liverpool finish 6th next year

I agree they'll have a let down next season, but this would require them backsliding past United and Arsenal (which I just don't see happening unless both go spend an absurd amount of money this summer)... If I had to guess it'd be 3rd

I already know how City reacts to shite not going their way. I can’t imagine Pool’s reaction moving forward coming short again in regards to trophies.

Well we lost the Champion's league final and followed it up with a Semi Final appearance and taking the EPL title race to the last day.

Add Dybala, get Ox and Keita in good form, sell Lovren and add some defensive coverage and we'll be back.

Klopp isn't Mourinho, he's not going to mind frick our players and neither will our fans. We didn't last year.

Unfortunately someone has to lose and whomever that is I believe will suffer mentally for some time and will have a a big letdown in 19-20.

It will be very hard for us to match 94+ points so I wouldn’t be surprised for there to be a drop off, but we’ve got a really solid core of young, hungry guys. I like where we’re headed

Our problem though is depth, as you can see with Firmino and Salah out we’re pretty screwed. All aboard the Rhian Brewster pain train

See Dortmund in 2014-15 where the finished 7th, and Maintz in 2006-07 where they were relegated

I honestly don’t know what happened with Mainz, but that Dortmund team caught some bad breaks with injuries right?

I do remember they still were dangerous in Europe though, because I also remember how everyone was setting up much more defensive and conceding possession to avoid the gegenpressing and they just didn’t know how to deal with it

So far, we’ve been really healthy for the most part and our fitness team has done a great job, but we definitely need to be deeper to be able to cope with the injuries that we do occasionally get (especially our front 3)

And we’ve been built a little different to be able to have more possession and build up play. Obviously we’re not City and struggle scoring 5 against a low block at times, but we already see it a ton and have managed to fare ok

Not to say that an implosion can’t happen, but so far, I’d say Klopp looks like he’s learning some lessons to be able to handle all these situations, including trying to lock up all of his main guys in long term deals and minimize any losses in the squad

Add Dybala

I heard you all were in for Ronaldo, Messi, Neymar, and Mbappe too.

Realistically though, Liverpool and Klopp are so awesome that I can see Dybala so badly wanting to be apart of that set up that he'd be a rotation player.
