ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 2

Completely relaxed about Liverpool. Klopp has come in and done a solid enough job of making them top four again, but I see a manager who's all emotion and lacking in the kind of guile you need to win major trophies. The players they've bought so far I shrug my shoulders at. These are the types of player you consolidate your CL spot places with.

The only time I'll get concerned where they're concerned is when/if FSG sell up to a Mansour-type.

Bakayoko certainly wasnt fantastic at that great Monaco season,it was Bernardo Silva,Lemar,Mendy,Fabinho and Falcao who were standouts,there was never much talk about Bakayoko

Sidibe and Mbappe in.
Fabinho and Falcao out.

Though Bakayoko was (and still is) certainly more highly thought of than Fabinho. Fabinho was a moderately useful utility player. He's ok but you've got to wonder why a big team didn't come in for him.

John Henry has the excel sheet set up with rs income copy and paste until infinity. Take a crazy bid to buy them. Tony Xia is looking for a new club mind you...

FSG will sell up eventually though. Hopefully he doesn't get tired of them for another decade or so.

And what infrastructure will be there when they do? They have one of the worst academies in the league and will soon have a stadium lagging behind everyone else in the top 7. CL football will not be guaranteed now that City broke up the old top 4. Of course a Mansour could come along but money isn’t really their issue at the moment it’s that they can’t attract the real top top talent because top players know they haven’t won anything meaningful in ages. The rest of the top 6 (perhaps Spurs aside) all have the same deep pockets anyway.
 
City were makingthese type of signings 3 years ago. De Bruyne, Fernandino, Jesus, Sane, Sterling

City never went and got world class talent, they got players ready to step into that bracket but not quite there yet.
Exactly what liverpool are doing.
Dont kid yourselves that they are not targeting and selecting top quality players, because they are.

The hope is of course, for one reason or another, they cannot hack it, hopefully they are more your Jovetic than your Jesus

Personally believe this is the best side we have possessed in 25 years. Beats what we had in 09 when we had Riera and Kuyt on the wings. It goes without saying we need a new keeper. Think Allison will likely come in after the World Cup.

Truth to be told City are something else so if we want to run them close, a new keeper is imperative.
