Last season highlighted areas in the midfield that need be improved. At the moment we haven’t improved it.
The sports washers you mean? If you wanna forgive arsenal for imploding go right ahead, that's the standard you are used to I suppose
We didn't lose the league and CL last season, big difference between being nowhere near and bottling it
So are cheslea after spending 100mil (20 mil a year write down over 5 years) So last season he in effect was amortised to tune of 20mil. This season they get 8mil and write down 30 again? Are they hoping to sell for like 50 or 60mil in a years time and walk away?
@Diego May as well enjoy the next six weeks or so mate, I hope you’ve got a good size rock ready to crawl under
Nice to know you saw us as a threat, even under Ralf You never actually won anything in normal play did you? Quadruple
Lets be honest, Penalties penalties Came second Lost Doesn't sound like an all conquering team does it
I still have hope for Elliot personally, I think he could be a gem over time. It is interesting though how Klopp seems to have cooled on him and I don't know why, maybe it's to protect him from further injuries, or maybe Klopp is no longer as enthusiastic.
The strange part is no option or obligation to buy. Inter finances are a bit ****ed it seems. I guess for chelsea they hope he has a good season there, gets £8m for him for the loan and then hope inter either sell someone to fund him for £40-50m or someone like a Juve/psg fancy him and go buy him etc. no doubt chelsea just written him off and won’t return their next year
Or a more realistic way to look at it. Won (and won every game leading up to it) Won (and won every game leading up to it) Closed a gap of 14 points to finish one off the top (with a score that would have won the title almost any other year). Dominated, but lost the title due to a freak goal against the run of play. It was a good season by anyone's standard when it comes to positions. Personally though, I do think we rode our luck a lot and a lot of wins could have been draws and draws could have been lost if other teams showed up properly.
I think tactically still had some work to do. Was his first proper season with us and played in an unknown position which klopp had even changed from usual. Lesrning when and where to press may take time
