What trajectory ? From 4th to 4th?Unfortunately i'm finding it difficult to laugh at Liverpool right at this moment - ambitious in the transfer market and really trying to build on their positive trajectory.
They are buying to improve their team, we seem to be buying players for depth. How many of our signings in the past years have come in as starters for us?I really wish some of you who are so bloody paranoid about Liverpool would explain ... why? That's the only question I have. I really don't get it.
They are clearly making some purchases that look clever, but we've seen enough flops come from Ligue 1 in recent years to surely exercise some caution?
How do you know that Fabinho isn't the next Bakayoko? And they still need to upgrade GK and CB.They are buying to improve their team, we seem to be buying players for depth. How many of our signings in the past years have come in as starters for us?
The thing is when we sign players, we know they will be underwhelming. We knew what we were getting with Sissoko, Llorente.How do you know that Fabinho isn't the next Bakayoko? And they still need to upgrade GK and CB.
The thing that annoys me most is that you appear to just assume that their signings will be unqualified successes. Every signing is varying degrees of risky and they might not work out the way you expect. And I will not fall into a pit of despair just because one of our rivals is making signings. People were going apeshit over Everton this time last year, how did that work out? And people have reacted exactly like this about Liverpool several years running, how has that worked out?
Sanchez? Wanyama? Son? Toby? Trippier?The thing is when we sign players, we know they will be underwhelming. We knew what we were getting with Sissoko, Llorente.
Let's look at their last five signings before Fekir, Fabinho and Keita...How do you know that Fabinho isn't the next Bakayoko? And they still need to upgrade GK and CB.

They were always going to close the gap as we’ve been shitting on them for them last 2 years. We’re not going to finish 10 + points ahead of them every season. Christ, even West Ham finished above them a couple of years ago so well done Liverpool for closing the gap.
They closed the gap last season due to us being at wembley, in fact, they got one less point than the previous season and that was with salah scoring 32 goals for them, so compare the rest of the squad to their performances in the previous season and it can be argued that they did worse.
What is this weird obsession with Liverpool in here. I get Arsenal and especially Chelsea for obvious reasons. I honestly dont get the dick measuring contest from the respective fan bases w.r.t to the Bin Dippers.
It's mainly a response to the way the Liverpool fans have been acting towards us over the last few years.
Actually, you could condense that a bit: it's a response to the way Liverpool fans act.
It's because Liverpool fans are ****s at the best of times, but when they are successful they are are completely unbearable ****s.
Tone down the aggression. Im not here to bat in their corner. But im able to acknowledge what they do well....
