It'll be a transitiony business as usual year, I reckon. Second place, a decent enough title challenge, City to run away with it again and those who thought they were for sure ready to overtake us humbled again.
Liverpool are a mess
- Thread starter OldSchoolManc
- Start date
well, based on last year, I think it was fair to assume that they didn’t have any ‘help’ and from the alleged reports, it seems that 2 years is the maximum their allowed to do without a break and would tie in with their seasons so far.
I think they might have had a new delivery this summer and that some more players might have developed breathing problems that require the use of an inhaler over the summer
Thursday nights 
You’ve noticed too?
Not sure it’s a boom-bust but more an inhaler or non-inhaler cycle
Again, allegedly
This is in the 'very belated comeback zingers' category, but now I am sorry I didn't think to go for "inhale that" when Bobby stuck no 7 past you last season.
shit stirrerLast season? Nah I don’t remember…
I know, to jog my memory, remind me where Liverpool finished last season… and how many trophies they won.
Something was said, not good, what was it, don't yell at Homer? No, thats ok. What was it, slow, THEY CALLED YOU SLOW.
There may well be more 7-0s this season out in Kazakhstan
The confidence from finishing 5th does go to a man’s head, I can’t blame you.
It was a big fight with Brighton.
They will be bringing it every Thursday night.
Looks very strong.
Thanks to Gerrard, they have been very lucky to get good money for Henderson and Fabinho.
I can see them being a force this season.
They will challenge. They will defo get CL football.
EUROPA CLUB!
They'll be fine, usual Jürgen klopp bounce after a shit season. Wouldn't be surprised to see them finish 2nd
Considering fifth place is Champions League qualification for them it is definitely likely.
can Salah keep producing, said the same last year though
They're very reliant on Salah who is approaching his twilight years. They'll be in trouble when his powers fade.
They will be back this season. They have purchased sensibly knowing the issues they had past season. Nunez, Gakpo would have settled in. Diaz is a good player. Feel this is Salah's last season at Liverpool. Stars are aligned for Liverpool to win the Europa and go deep with the title challenge.
One might argue the same at United with Casemiro
Think they'll be a bit better in midfield but might be a calamity at the back. Will also be hugely dependent on Lavia bedding in early. If he's suspect defensively then they'll be in a bunch of shootouts.
Sure if we don't sign Amrabat I'd agree. If we do though then no.
Problem is , EPL doesn't give you that time anymore. Finish outside of top 5 and you are immediately under pressure. Even if Pep feck off, there is Arsenal, United, Chelsea and even Villa to take up the challenge.
But then, Klopp is a genius. So you never know.
Would have been nice if we had one or preferably both of Diaz and Jota available for the majority of last season.
Last year they were cycling off, so expect them to be suddenly sprinting non-stop from the first whistle to the last, every game this season.

Won’t win a thing, including games against us. @ me
I still don’t think they have signed the right players in midfield. They needed more protection for the backline and I don’t think they have done that.
They have bought two players who love to be on the ball in the opposition half. The Trent positioning is still an issue, the defensive aspect of their midfield is still an issue, and the elephant in the room, that is VDV being finished as a top level CB, is an issue they seem to be ignoring.
I think they will score a lot of goals, but also concede too many goals to have the 90+ season of their peak.

United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Newcastle could all finish anywhere between 2nd and 6th. None of those teams ought to be confident about anything. How it ends up will depend on random luck and injuries.
I think I'd fancy all of them in the cups more than the league.

Could see us getting back into the CL but I’m not sure we’ll challenge for the league. Too many changes all happening at once. We need another CB as well.
EL is winnable.
EL is winnable.
Agreed. 1st is settled and for environmental reasons City shouldn't even have to travel to games until Pep leaves. Just give them the 3 points and save on fuel.
Reckon you win the Europa and finish top 4 tbh.
Klopp usually bounces back after the type of season you had last time around.
It looks like you guys are already back to "next year is our year"

What on earth are you on about? Did you read both posts properly?
They'll boom and bust as usual.
You see the future?
