thus far no country has elected a non binary or trans identifying person/toaster to a position of power.

we can only judge those actually in power.

the real world has found that is just a bit harder to govern than the agendas on social.media would have you believe.

populists have egg on their faces (Johnson and trump)
libtards have trudeau's failures to ignore.
feminist nazis have aren't failures to totally ignore.

it seems to me it doesn't really matter what flavour of politicians is found in power they all end up doing largely the same which is spend their time arguing the odds and not changing very much of anything.

Big fan of Klopp, this isn't a rip at him in any way...But could Liverpool of January 2016 beat Liverpool of January 2022?

On paper, our current side looks a lot better than the 2016 side: Origi and Lallana anyone? But optimism was beginning to creep in by January after a decent start by Klopp. The team was still very much not Klopp signings or of the same quality as we have now, but Klopp had that group playing as well as they could play: two cup finals were reached with that team. I'd suggest Klopp's inherited team would beat our superstars in a game right now on current form.

Again, not detracting Klopp here, we're in a much better situation long term, our reputation, youth, finances, and recent cup hauls have much improved... just recognizing for the first season since Klopp took over, we're probably a worse team than he inherited (despite the bigger, better, household names). This is just the ****up year before we return as a major player.
 
team of January 2016??

I looked up 23rd Jan 2016. we beat Norwich 5-4 in that mad game

mingolet
clyne toure sahko moreno
henderson lucas can
milner firmino ibe

subs on benteke, lallana and the great Stephen caulker.

now

due to injury lfc best team available right now.

alisson
trent konate gomez Robertson
keita bajcetic thaigo
salah nunez gakpo

with say Henderson , Elliott and oh take your pick really.

so... confidence and fitness and all that stuff aside. that 2023 team has no excuse if it can't tear that 2016 side a new arsehole.

As I said, on paper we're far better now than we were then... 15/16 wasn't our best season by far, but I almost think that band of middleweights would tear up our current squad.

Again, on paper. But on-paper we're better than most of the teams above us now.

Mignolet was still actually OK at that point. Ibe was never a regular starter. We had one more point that year than this year after same number of games- and that was after Brodgers' disastrous start that got him sacked.

I wouldn't swap squads with 15/16 (we will come good again)- but the team had much better spirit and cohesion than they do as of late... (having the money from a Coutinho sale would be nice again).
