I think you'll get Kirkez at RB without having to break the bank and Conor Bradley is a good RB if Trent goes. Your GK and midfield are strong so it'll hinge on how Slot sorts out your forwards. You've got a lot of 7 or 8 out of 10 players in those positions and only Salah to really bail you out in tight games. Even if he stays you need better than your current back-ups as without him you're half the threat going forward and you can't just hope he's fit and available every game.

They’re ****ed without Salah. The others are decent but not top level as their numbers show. Liverpool usually find a quality forward from somewhere though.
 
Definitely impressive to coast to the title in your first season having signed basically nobody. Can't remember that happening often before?

Do think you need a bit of rebuild though. Even if Salah and VVD stay they're getting on a bit.

Salah looks absolutely knackered tbh and presumably there's an ACON next year?
Always thought under Klopp and Slot (to some extent) that pool have a soft underbelly. I think today showed that.
 
Funny narrative this. Most people were expecting a massive dive from us after klopp left and now that not happened rivals like yourself will hold on to any excuse that lessens the pain of our success

It’s better than the leagues **** though I’ll give you that<laugh>

It's not a narrative, it's a hunch and it's completely my own.

I might be wrong. But then, I might not be.

I don't see an improving squad. I see one about to hit a downward slope after a perfect storm league season.

it’s a narrative to me because youre not the only person I’ve seen pushing it .


And if we win the title this season but not next then yes that would be a downward spiral, a cheap one but still a technically correct one

Just hopeful this downward spiral isn’t as bad as yours since fergie left
 
Thoughts with Sucky,losing 2 cup ties in 5 days<peacedove>
All good mate you deserved the win and we will always make it to more finals so not to bothered reality

Our performance is the most disappointing thing personally ,we just didn’t show a good version of ourselves all game we didn’t make it difficult for you at all imo

I thought you'd struggle after Klopp went and have been surprised by how well Slot has done. The summer ahead is going to be huge regarding the ins and outs but unlike many clubs you presumably have money in the bank and a manager who seems to have a handle on the situation - I think you'll be fine.


On a separate note I read today that the last time we met you in a final (in 1974) we had more major trophies than you. It's fair to say that the two clubs have diverged pretty drastically in the past 50 years!

There's an element of Man Utd in their last season under Ferguson where they won the league at a canter but it was clear that some of the players were past their peak (though Salah has been insane this season granted!).

The fact that Slot has had this season with the players is a huge bonus for him though and if they do struggle to replace some of those players I think it'll be just for the one season. Just my opinion but they've got a core of players who are in and around their peak who will be coming off a title winning season.

Yeah yeah, what about Manchester United blah blah!

Liverpool will have won two league titles in 35 years.

Put like that, the spiral has never really been much upwards.

To clarify I think next season is going to be a really hard title race to call. I do think Liverpool will be weaker just not by much, Man City will be back and surely Arsenal will buy a striker. If I had to bet it would be on Man City for next year as I assume they'll get someone to cover for KdB.

Rodri will be back for City, he changes everything
