Normally I love reading the posts on here but confess that when the transfer window is open it does my head in! My opinion is probably worth less than many of you cos I only started supporting LFC 30 years ago after marrying a mad red.

Anyway. for what it's worth, here's my opinion. I think we already have the best team in the league and have added 2 v good players in Taki and Kostas. Taki was our best player in the pre season games, closely followed by Naby. We also have the best manager, love Klopp!

The reason we strolled to a 25 point lead by Christmas was not only because of that, but also because our rivals under performed, including City. Some of their high profile purchases did not work out and 3 of them had rookie managers. Those 3 have made some great purchases and I can't wait to see these players in the PL. But, these purchases may or not work out in their first season and they still have those rookie managers!

Man for man, City probably had better players in their squad but we had the better team. So even if individually these shiny new players are fantastic, we still have the best team.

So we start again from 0 in the new season and I for one cannot wait. Let's see where it takes us. Personally, I have never enjoyed leagues where any club strolls it, prefer the nip and tuck of close run things. So let them field their shiny new players, their much improved performances, their slightly more experienced managers and let's win it all again, by one point if necessary (or even goal diff, I really don't care! ) .

YNWA.

There’s actually over a month left of the transfer window, so time yet, though not ideal to add players when the season is underway.
There also seems to be relatively little / reduced transfer activity generally, other than by the two or three high-profile cases.
So Liverpool are not an atypical example of what’s happening in the PL this Summer break.
But people are just getting spooked by potential rivals on paper.
And paper dragons never hurt anyone.

One of the main reasons we won the league was our defense. we did not blow many teams last season but we kept a brilliant defense. But now we are conceding goals. We need a top-class CB. Klopp's interest in Carlos confirms that.

Paper Tigers too for that matter, we are where we are and have to trust JK, his team and FSG to do what they believe is required.

The concern is our performances. We weren’t lucky to win the league overall but there were a lot of very close games last season that could have gone either way - villa, Leicester, West Ham, etc so I don’t actually think we were miles ahead of the rest anyway. So for them to improve their first teams and us not to is a concern. Of course Klopp and the players resilience won us the league last year but I’m just not sure we can be as resilient and have the rub of the green In the league as much again. And we also built up steam as we didn’t lose for ages. The concern is if we lose a couple of games in say the first 5-10 games that everyone will jump on us, the resilience will be gone and we won’t be able to change it up with some quality new signings and compete for the league. It is looking at it negatively but they are my concerns.

The faith is strong in these posts above but I think your missing the fact that in those two seasons - teams were as they were - more improvements stronger improvements have been made and Liverpool have remained the same.
Nobody can say any of the players bar vvd, mane. Robertson have played well for several months even from the ath Madrid game.

I think lfc are making a huge mistake I think a huge amount of points will be dropped this season - a top 4 place would be successful an a trophy and there’s no way they will retain the league. They have already set themselves up for failure by not adding! Yes I said it! By not adding quality - Fabinho is not a centre back fyi -.
