    Wouldn't be unusual if it was coming from a Liverpool fan <laugh>

    Its too early to say really, need to see who signs who in the summer, but Liverpool, if they make one or two astute signings, are in a with a big chance imo.

    I was taking the piss mate lol

    Here’s a prediction, Salah will never have a season remotely like this one in his career. Boooommm. He’s laid down some potential vaulting gold right there......

    Take him out of that side this season and they’re pretty meh on the whole, top 6 probably but not anywhere near good enough to challenge for the title or the CL. He’s been the difference this season as he’s been absolutely unbelievable.

    If you look at the things he's doing on the pitch, dribbling, assists, movement as well as goals then I think the word you used "remotley" could be your downfall in that sentence. He's a very good player and that wont change, keeping him will be our problem.

    But you could say the same for nearly every top club.

    Remove Ronaldo from RM for example...

    Even on a lower level..
    Remove Hazard from Chelsea
    Remove Kane from Spurs
    Remove De Gea from Utd



    With a fully fit squad we'd still have 2 top goal scorers in Firmino and Mane.

    Rubbish argument tbh mate.

    Plus as Luv points out it's clear Salah has the full skill set so it's extremely unlikely he'll just flop. I don't expect him to hit 40 goals next season but he'll still be a beast.

    Worked on Castle street for a few years and then Hope Street a coupe more and I could count on one hand the number of Liverpool fans I worked with who didn't genuinely think they were going to win the title "next year" and then proceed to tell you in detail about why it was going to happen. Unfortunately, in a similar manner to the Liverpool players, they often seemed to forget about the other teams.

    Liverpool already have probably the second best team in the league, some distance from the second best squad and a chasm from the best of either. Great to have three teams at the top of the league who are genuinely often exciting to watch.

    It’s standard mate, they’ve been doing it for nearly 30 years now.....you’d think the penny might have dropped like....but no...

    They always sign ‘the final piece of the jigsaw’ during the summer.....Keita is this summers jigsaw piece...and we’re still in Spring :)

    When I was in Castle Street they won the Champions League and then a year os so later signed Torres. They should have won the league around that time and I honestly think that team (Mascherano, Gerrard, Alonso in midfield with Torres up front) would beat their current team - still no joy.

    As an aside, it is simply amazing how many fans that Istanbul stadium must have been able to hold.

    Sacrilege, they would never leave as they were proper fans. All 350,000 of them.

    It’s not a rubbish argument at all, without him you’re meh.

    Same as when Suarez went you simply weren’t the same side.

    The very best sides have a handful of top class players, you haven’t.

    Keita is just part of the plan. Plenty of players will fancy joining and Klopp usually gets who he wants.

    You must hate that!

    Suarez often gave them a mouthful of top class players too.

    But we have much better depth now. Summer will bring even more.

    You're acting like Firmino and Mane aren't pure quality too?

    Mane is just a poor mans Sterling. Quite literally.

    And so it starts.....

    Klopp is doing a Rodgers.......I think he must have found his dentists card in a desk draw.

    I preferred him with Wotsit teeth, if he goes for the perma tan and Botox, you know he’s shagging a Kopite employee.....

    Give it another season or two and we can come back to that particular question, these things take time to play out.

    They’re good players but they’re not top draw, either of them.

    Milner and Henderson is your midfield mate. Your squad depth is none existent.
