HEY EVERYONE I IGNORE SOMEONE LOOK AT ME
4 years ago...They are on pace for over 80 points. It's been a while since they had a team this good.

Which season was this? I have absolutely no recollection of this happening. Like none at all. I will go now. Something got into my eye.They literally got 84 points, three seasons ago.
Outplaying Chelsea is not exactly par for the course for any top team.Liverpool struggled to outplay Chelsea at home just several weeks ago. Maybe Klopp not starting Mane contributed to it but they didn't look like a top team at all.
(29/15)*38=73.466They are on pace for over 80 points. It's been a while since they had a team this good.
Huh, that's weird. Could have sworn my calculation brought it to ~82, but I stand corrected.(29/15)*38=73.466
The same Chelsea side who comfortably outplayed Manchester Utd a few days before?Liverpool struggled to outplay Chelsea at home just several weeks ago. Maybe Klopp not starting Mane contributed to it but they didn't look like a top team at all.
You tried to use the oldest trick in the book and thought we'd fall for it. Chelsea beat United at the Bridge which is massively different from playing away at Anfield.The same Chelsea side who comfortably outplayed Manchester Utd a few days before?
We would have taken those three points fairly comfortably but for an outrageous late equaliser from Willian.
I see no definition by which you can call Liverpool a top team. Sure they might not be far off, but that's still a lot of investment which will take a few years. Liverpool cannot splash £200m every summer.They are actually not far off.
They mostly have the attack sorted, and with the addition of Keita which is another one tailored for their system they will benefit both in attack and midfield.
A proper DM instead of Hendo La plus two new top class cb's and they are pretty sorted.
If Coutinho and Can leave, then they are back to square one even with Keita though.They are actually not far off.

Keita is already bought. To buy one very good CB and one better than what they got they'll probably look at £80m, something they'll manage.I see no definition by which you can call Liverpool a top team.

City are the only top team already in my opinion, while Utd are close to it. Its not a surprise that they have the best managers, and the most money.
Can is replaceable. Keita is better than him defensively while also being far superior offensively. Coutinho is a tough one though, but if he leaves they'll get a lot of money, so they can try to reinvest.If Coutinho and Can leave, then they are back to square one even with Keita though.
So what you are saying is that the difference between Liverpool and City is 2-3 players???Keita is already bought. To buy one very good CB and one better than what they got they'll probably look at £80m, something they'll manage.
The heaviest investments are attackers that produce on the level that Mane, Salah and Coutinho does, and they have that sorted.
Where have I said that they are that close to City?So what you are saying is that the difference between Liverpool and City is 2-3 players???
Liverpool do not have a complete starting 11, they do not have a complete squad.
Wijnaldum and Lallana are not top players, they are squad players at the best teams in the world. Henderson is not part of any top team except for that one good year he had a few years back. Only Matip in their backline is worth anything.
I see 3-4 new players in the backline (including a GK), a brand new midfield as well. The only thing good about Liverpool is their forwards. The rest of the team needs overhauling.
You know that top team is a relative term right? City is at the top and in order to be at the top or near it you need to match their quality and depth. In order to be considered a top team in Europe you need to match the quality and depth of other top teams.Where have I said that they are that close to City?
They are close to being a top team in their own respect. They will always lag behind teams like City and United because we'll spend £150-200m every summer and also go out of our way to buy mercurial talisman type players. Liverpool doesn't have that financial clout or pull.
Two new defenders and a dm in addition to Keita though and they will be a totally different prospect than this season.
The most difficult job in world football?I think Klopp said in his presser, that Henderson has the most difficult job in World football, or something.
A few of their comedical losses this year could have ended differently if they had the new dm and two new defenders, which would put them near us on the table.You know that top team is a relative term right?

Liverpool can be a good team with 2-3 signings, but their squad needs an overhaul to be among the best teams.
I'm not sure about that. Their left back and goal keeper have nightmare performances several times a season. If they still have Moreno at left back and Mignolet in goal they'll still drop silly points.A few of their comedical losses this year could have ended differently if they had the new dm and two new defenders, which would put them near us on the table.
Don't see them challenging for the league in the near future though. Their best players will be picked up by others like we see with Coutinho and Barcelona. The same will happen with Salah if he performs like this for a season or two.
But don't you know, he hugs his players. Also gegenpressing.Rests Coutinho and Firmino for the derby and takes off Salah at 1-0. Genius.
Don't forget subbing their best player at 1-0. Genius managementYeah mate bench Coutinho/Firmino, that'll work out.
I'll join in the laugh session in a bit, but this is hindsight thinking. Bar a horrendous decision from the ref, Everton looked useless against a weakened Liverpool side.Yeah mate bench Coutinho/Firmino, that'll work out.
I kinda expected it. Solanke etc are not good enough yet to do the job for them as starters.I'll join in the laugh session in a bit, but this is hindsight thinking. Bar a horrendous decision from the ref, Everton looked useless against a weakened Liverpool side.
True, however I can't understate how horrible Everton were in this game. The idea that Big Sam would take any credit for the result is grating my soul.I kinda expected it. Solanke etc are not good enough yet to do the job for them as starters.

Last line is understatement of the year, it's absolutely negligent.Thought the team played well enough to win the game before the penalty personally, but would’ve preferred Coutinho to be brought on earlier to kill them off.
We’re still paying the price for not bringing a CB in.
