Actually it does change everything. When you spend the amount of money that LFC spent in the off-season, they should be competing for trophies or at the very least a CL spot and they'll get none of that and never got close to challenging for the league. Sorry but with spending they went through in the summer, come high expectations and they never came close to living up to that. Yeah they may be ahead of us in the table, but who cares? There still going to finish the season with nothing to show for it but a EL spot.
And no, there not that better then us when you look closely.
