Liverpool were clearly best team over last two years with some amazing youth coming through but all the talk last summer was still about which players they needed to buy to maintain their good run. Liverpool suffered injuries this year that they hadn't previously, Klopp is feeling the pressure and is grumpy towards media, fans are overly critical of youth still learning the game (players are either brilliant or cr*p with nothing in between) and they may or may not make top four at end of the year which has massive financial implications, at least until they can ring fence champions League.Originally Posted by Rjk
I don't know if money was such an important part to the game back in period OP is talking about but it's certainly driving things now.
Are there any owners/fans/local media out there who would accept not being as high up the table as possible for two years if it meant remaining three years in five year cycle had higher chances of success? Patience seems capped at ten games now which is not good environment for backing younger players who will be more inconsistent.
