KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum How the fk we are in this situation after scoring so many?

VvD has really improved our defence, makes you wonder if we had got him in August.

Roberton also has been tremendous.

We would definitely have finished higher but don't think we would have won the league, so not a major difference. However, still don't understand why we waited 6 months, we ended up paying what they wanted. Question is, could we have reinforced in Jan to give us a bigger chance of winning the CL? All academic though.

Southampton reported us that's why. Would you have preferred him earlier but with a 2 year transfer ban?

I would have preferred him earlier and with us taking contact with him AFTER clearing it with his club.

That would have saved us 6 months of Lovren/Klavan/Matip performances.

We had our chance to finish 2nd long time ago and blew it. When United were struggling, we did not take advantage of it.

It is not easy to win the league this season as Citeh scored 100 points.

We have lost our momentum back in Oct/Nov after we had defeats to Citeh and Spurs. We focused on the CL and a top 4 finish alternatively, which I think we actually achieved the target. I would say if we didnt enter into the final of CL, we probably have a much higher finish in the league.

As I always say, our team is still in re-building process under Klopp and it is just his second full season and he has a low net spending comparing to the competitors. I really happy with the progress of the project.

Finishing 2nd or 4th is not a big difference, I think it's 5-10m prize money. We'll get much more by getting to the CL final. That said, could we have found somebody in Jan to make us stronger for the CL final, nobody knows. Nevertheless, I don't think anybody thought we would be in the CL final, we expected a local cup most probably

If we didn't get so far in the CL I think we would have got second, but I'm happier we got 4th and get to CL final (hopefully to win it)

I would take 4th and a CL final over 2nd and out of every cup comp.

You nailed it.
