    They could have a shared open top bus parade with all of those 'nearly' trophies.

    Neither of their fans will admit it, but there is massive pressure on both clubs and their managers to win a pot this season

    Think there's more pressure on Klopp than Poch tbh.

    Agreed. Given the amount of cash he's splurged too. As for Poch he needs to win something to keep that team together.

    Tbh, with all the disruption, no new players, limited funds available etc, I’m not very hopeful for the coming season.

    If we get lucky with no key injuries then maybe we can squeak top 4 again, but top six more likely, imo.

    Others don’t like to admit it, but we’re trying to compete with clubs that can blow us out of the water financially.

    They're better than any Utd team in the PL era. Yes trophies haven't arrived yet as it's new now Peps here. They're smashing records and will only improve.

    A Utd fan would be far too blinkered to see that though.

    I'm not a United fan and disagree.

    United 99 and 94ish(?) and Arsenal 04 were better imo.

    There's pressure but nothing that you wouldn't expect.

    Klopp has turned the whole club round and there's talk of 2bn offers. FSG paid 300mil.

    Klopp will stay as long as he sees fit. No chance will he get sacked, so that type of pressure is nonsense.

    Since he's arrived the whole vibe is so much better in all areas.

    Really? Not for me. City's squad is insane. First 11 it's probably closer.

    No it's my opinion, yours is different. Fair enough.

    While I agree with all of that, like any other club you have a percentage of your fans who are utter ****s, being the biggest spending side ever in England in a Summer will bring all sorts of pressures, madness to think otherwise.

    I'm looking at the teams rather than individuals.

    Why only PL era btw? Don't you whinge at @FosseFilberto for that ;)

    All we did was spend the Coutinho and CL money??

    People seem to think the owners have massively invested. It's not true at all.

    Because that's been the general argument. We could go back to 1863 if you want? <laugh>

    Yep, agreed.

    There’s an air of great expectation around Pool this season. If they fall on their faces it won’t go down well.

    It won't go down well but it's delusional to think we can go from 4th to winning it over 1 summer window.
