Here's a nice little take on a Wednesday... if Liverpool fail to make Top 4 this season they wont be back in it for years.
City will stay in there.
United should stay there (especially if Qatar comes in)
Chelsea will be back with a new manager
Newcastle will eventually crack into it
Tottenham will be thereabouts.
Arsenal are on the up.
Liverpool could be set for a large period of irrelevancy.
Enjoy.
Fun fact: he isnt. 30 and 350kI actually had no idea Salah is 34 and on 600K. Crazy.
WooshFun fact: he isnt. 30 and 350k
Now you're just splitting hairs.Fun fact: he isnt. 30 and 350k

Oh yes, it will be interesting next Sunday. I think the Everton and Newcastle results were a bit of a false dawn for them.I watched a bit of this, and at 2-5, I thought '...this could end up being seven, or eight...'
Liverpool were absolutely battered. Haven't seen that in a while.
And that guy, Camavinga in midfield for Real... what a f***ing player he looks btw. Blimey.
What amazed me was the lack of fight or intensity, Madrid were knocking the ball about for funI watched a bit of this, and at 2-5, I thought '...this could end up being seven, or eight...'

It’s the normal process. They have been relatively successful lately (City were better though) so each of their losses will be greatly celebrated by rivals. If we continue on our upward projection, their losses will not have as much delight to us. So , enjoy!I’m a little ashamed to say I’m happier to see them lose than seeing us win. Well, sometimes it feels like that.
In fairness, its not like there's any trick to it besides "lets buy all the clearly rated best youngsters in every position"Have to say Madrid really are the masters of the rebuild, they don't seem to have a lull, they're always there. Look at them now, Camavinga, Valverde in midfield, with Modric... Junior, Rodrygo in attack with Benzema.. Exciting youth next to experienced champions. It's perfect. The transition is seamless.
Well, not since the 7 - 2 at The Villa.I watched a bit of this, and at 2-5, I thought '...this could end up being seven, or eight...'

Under Klopp they didn't lose many players, they lost Mane who was old(ish) player and they signed Thiago under same circumstances.The problem with Liverpool which is why they’ve never managed to form a dynasty is that they often lose one of their very best players to arguably bigger or more financially better of clubs:
2022: Mane
2018: Coutiniho
2015: Sterling
2014: Suarez
2011: Torres
2010: Masherano
2009: Alonso
United have never had this issue with the exception of Ronaldo. All the players we lost were gotten rid of by the club (similar to City now who are the dominant force). Madrid, Barca, Bayern and other elite clubs have also never had this issue.
Liverpool just aren’t quite in the elite club bracket for me, and the status quo for them isn’t winning titles every season.
Mane leaving is obviously a massive reason for the problems they’ve had this season, he was such an excellent player for them. Would not be surprising if Salah went this Summer either.
Yep, that period of losing Coutiniho and using it to strengthen the rest of the squad sustained them through a successful period, then they lose Mane. A real winning machine like us back in the day goes from strength to strength, for them there's always the eventual set back.Under Klopp they didn't lose many players, they lost Mane who was old(ish) player and they signed Thiago under same circumstances.
They lost Coutinho and they got premium value out of that, in a way this deal helped Liverpool in many ways, financially and also tactically.
It seems to have slowed down now. From 5 players in 7 years to 2 players in 7.5 years.2022: Mane
2018: Coutiniho

It's very very close for me. If I am 100% happy when we win, I am 99% happy when they lose. Not healthy at all but hey it is what it is.I’m a little ashamed to say I’m happier to see them lose than seeing us win. Well, sometimes it feels like that.
That was true in the past but not since Klopp took over. They lost Mane true but he was old player on last year of contract who wanted either new challenge or big contract.Yep, that period of losing Coutiniho and using it to strengthen the rest of the squad sustained them through a successful period, then they lose Mane.

You’re right about there being other factors but Mane is a huge loss. Last season there were countless big games and semi-finals where he delivered for them. I don’t think he’s an example of them moving someone on who was older at all. I’m sure they would have kept him, most definitely.That was true in the past but not since Klopp took over.

For example Madrid lost Casemiro, Varane; Bayern lost Lewa, Thiago; City lost Cancelo.
Losing one player in 4-5 years is fine, I think their problem was more than losing Mane. It's the old squad and injury problems.
Yep you actually have no ideaI actually had no idea Salah is 34 and on 600K. Crazy.
Tbf, he actually showed up for once, his team let him down this time.They need to replace Salah. 45 years old and on 30k a year, that's not right for the top level in Europe.
Change of owners? FSG not as bad as some Liverpool fans make out?It seems to have slowed down now. From 5 players in 7 years to 2 players in 7.5 years.
Yeah he is a big miss for sure and if given chance they would have retained him.You’re right about there being other factors but Mane is a huge loss.

And I find it kind of funny.Tweet
