The Official Liverpool FC Thread [Vol 20]
Discussion
Welcome, lurker.
I think to be honest, we are a team in transition - we all knew that at the start of the season. It is what it is. The stats bear out that Diaz is even less clinical than Darwin, which is going some. Not sure we can afford 2 players in the same lineup who need a lot of chances.
Szobo is an excellent player for his country and looked very promising when he arrived. Not sure what's happened - maybe it's just "settling in" issues.

Which players aren't good enough?
Lurking Liverpool fan here….but I’ll have a go, of the team that started today :1) Salah - hit and miss, a bit too selfish, lost a couple of yards of pace. Presence overshadows the team.
2) Nunez - hard not to love his energy and attitude but far too unreliable to be the starting striker
3) Szob - after a promising start has slipped back to average, willing to give benefit of the doubt though.
Mentally i think they're done after not beating that shower of se last week.
To be fair, top 4 was the goal this year so they 'should' achieve that. They've got away with a lot this season and could only concede first so many times before it bit them on the ae.
Hopefully Arsenal will win it now instead of the cheats but we'll see if they balls it up too.

Pretty much it for me, too, that. Well thought top 4 would be a good result. A trophy being a bonus. We should get both. Only the media was stirring up the quadruple nonsense. I think Klopp and his team already had an idea we might not make it over the finish line with the team as is. To be fair, top 4 was the goal this year so they 'should' achieve that.

Better things like ahead, I'm sure. Assuming we don't balls up the recruitment.

But, as correctly pointed out, a new manager will have their own ideas on formations and players.

I'll still obviously take that but I'm not just going to turn round and say they are all great just because I'm a supporter of the club.

Well it's definitely hurting me having run the course for nearly the whole season. Might not have been expected at the very start but we've played well as a team for virtually the whole season, dominating play and still the 3rd highest scorers in the league despite wasting so many chances. Weren't we also the first team in Europe to score 100 goals?
I think fatigue of the season has finally caught up with us, going hard in four comps plus the injuries. It's been an excellent season in trutj but just so frustrating having come so close.
