Your logic is that they’ve “only” bought in 2 players to improve their first team? Well it’s flawed for a number of reasons. Firstly they’ve also bought in Fabinho, and he is top-drawer. Secondly, defence was their issue last year, and they’ve now addressed those issues at GK, CB, and CM. Thirdly, who is improving our first team?What is the Liverpool hype based on its utterly bizarre. Klopp has never taken them above 4th and the only decent team they beat all last season was city which was the basis of their “cup run”. They won 2 games out of 10 against the top 6. Keita and Alisson are the only players that will improve their 1st xi and that’s on paper as neither have ever kicked a PL ball. Also Salah had a freak season. There’s absolutely no way he is getting 30 goals again. So they’ve instantly lost 15 goals before the season even starts. When you strip away all the “booooooom” hype nonsense there’s no foundation for the hype. I think 2nd will be much like last season close between us Liverpool United.
I’m more than happy to pile in on Liverpool and their fans wherever warranted, but anyone not thinking they are going to be significantly improved over last season is seriously deluding themselves.
