He's talking about Bernardo Silva, but he's not actually left yet (heavily linked with Barca though)
Liverpool 2022/23

I think there is a possibility that someone else can challenge for the league. Spurs with Conte and Kane/Son might be the most likely candidates. Normally I would say Chelsea but I'm not sure they have a challenge in them. Maybe they do.
I think 85-90 points wins the league this year.
Simply.
Why doesn’t he have confidence that they can mount a title challenge then?
I'm sure he has a billion+ reasons.
After spending £100m on a CF he should be expected to win it
Last season was 1 point between the sides.
City have a net spend of +45M
Liverpool have a net spend of -5M.
So by that logic you guys have 50M reasons to win the title.
I thought his price was 200 million?
It's two 100m installments and a third one if he scores more than one goal in the PL.
Oh so just two 100m installments then, phew.
3rd or 4th. NOT winning this PL. Not even close.
Thanks Gary.
Something in the waters up in Liverpool? Are they contractually obligated to say these things about their players?

I really don't see Spurs the consistency to get 90 points. Conte doesn't set up his teams as offensively as Guardiola and do with their respective teams, and the margin for error is narrower there because they'd be more likely to drop points when they're profligate than City and Liverpool.
Perhaps you're right, but it would require a drop-off from City and while it's happened before, I think too much has to go right for Spurs and too much has to go wrong with the top 2 for it to be anything but a repeat of the past few years.
Pool fanboys
I know they had some chances this game but they really have gone to shit. Such a drop off from last few seasons. They have become incredibly boring to watch with the constant cross spamming which isn’t even working for them.
Every game they’ve been struggling to get through it. If it wasn’t for a 125th minute winner last game, they would have been on 1 win out of 6.
Klopps got some serious issues to sort out as the team looks miles off. Top 4 will be tough if it isn’t sorted quickly.

They look clueless. Individual brilliance couldn't bail them out.
How come they're so naff in the first half of games?
Think they've only been clearly the best team in the first half of the Bournemouth game this year.

My oh my, they've looked absolute dog shite so far this season. Diaz is a massive downgrade on Mane.
They’ve been naff all season. Their midfield has generally been shite but they’ve always had quality full backs and front 3. But they’ve gone to shite as well which means they’ve become Burnley. Lump it in to the big guy and hope for the best.
The bournemouth result was great as it probably gave them a false sense of security that they don’t need more players in.
Salah seems really invisible this season. If he doesn't rediscover his form they're fecked. Klopp is brilliant but I don't think this is a great squad.
Yeah they have been crap by their own standards... But they do improve a lot in second halves of games (today /Newcastle /vs. Us etc)
It seems their title aspiration is already gone. They did somehow come back to the title race last year out of nowhere. This season that's unlikely.
They need to improve fast.
In their next 6 games they’ve got
Chelsea
Brighton
Arsenal
Man City
They’ll be lucky to be near the top 4 if they continue with this form.
Salahs been very quiet. Has he scored yet this season?
Joke, right? He scored against us.
Calm down. I forgot
They must be worried, that was another poor performance. I think the most worrying thing must be that they did actually put in some effort in this game, and it still didn't pay off. They look incohesive in all areas of the pitch. Salah and Van Dijk are both miles off their best and Nunez and Diaz combined still aren't up to the level Mane was at. TTA has been flat out poor.
Mane was Liverpool.
Alisson with one half decent save and everyone’s talking about it 
They’ve talked about him as much Pickford who was a beast in that game.

From what I can see the biggest problem they have is they’ve lost that energy and intensity from central midfield. That intense pressing from the middle was key to a lot of their attacks and winning the ball up high.
The fact they’ve lost that means they are very easy to hit on the counter attack now because they will always play a very high line. As opponents are getting pressed as well, it’s easy to break with one or two passes and then you have an ocean of space to play the ball in behind their defence. We did it and every other team is doing it agains them. It’s going to keep happening all season.
A better team would have punished their midfield today.
Eight more draws to balance it all.
Their midfield is atrocious.
Maybe the disappointment of being two results away from the quadruple and being the 'best team ever' is starting to get to them? Obviously they have issues in midfield but mentally it must have taken a lot out of them.

Yes, I reckon without Fabinho today they probably would have lost. Elliot and Carvalho shouldn’t be an experiment to use unless you’re playing a shite team that aren’t compact like us.
Klippety Klopp...
"They scored a goal - I didn’t see it back but I think it probably was offside."
"They scored a goal - I didn’t see it back but I think it probably was offside."
Think Klopp took a chance because Henderson is injured and Milner is far too old to be starting a game like this. Obviously didn't pay off but I wanted to see it tried so can't really complain.
Think a lot of this game is on Klopp's ingame management. We shouldn't have made those double subs when we were on top of you in the second.
