to think we could be with Salah and De Bruyne in our team right now, it just makes me want to kill the idiots who let them leave without buyback clauses :middlefinger:
De Bruyne was bad enough but Salah was still a Chelsea player when Conte joined the club. Letting him go permanently for peanuts after his first 18 months in Italy was farcical.

Look at the level of the football. Insane and we all know the catenaccio specialist Mourinho and Conte can only dream of producing such amazing football. But don't tell it to the he-hasn't-won-anything at Liverpool merchants though. 

It is sad that we live in very weird times where people care less about how shitty or good a team plays and think that trophies and medals reflects how the good/bad a team is?

That is the case everywhere not just football, it is happening everywhere but I digress! And in a weird way money follows those kind of successes

Liverpool are gonna win it aren't they? Truth be told they play some amazing stuff, it's a joy to watch them when they're playing like this. Salah is something else, dunno where they would be without him, but we said the same about Coutinho, didn't we and yet here they are...

Hopefully Bayern beat Real and then clinch the whole thing.

Interesting point... Was never a fan of Coutinho myself - there is my brazilian bias again... ;)

Coutinho is a 1-2 fantastic-plays-a-game player. Seen them before and they can win games, but can also lose them. On and off kinda player. They are not at mo Salah's level. I know people don't want to hear it, but it's as clear as day that we missed out on a top top player here.

On the bright side, Liverpool is proving to us, time and time again, that there is life after you sell your key player. Well, as long as you know what you have to do to have a shot at (acquiring) another. No, I don't think we do... our signings speak for themselves.

After selling Coutinho and buying Van Dijk, Liverpool actually improved... at least defensively. Their defensive record after those transfers has improved. No way around it, pool together with Klopp are making some very shrewd business all around.

yeah sure thing, their defense is much improved. They would still be struggling in games with the lack of goals and assists though. They have good players in their squad, just not great, so they'd be struggling big time against these teams in the CL at this level without a game winner - don't care how hard and disciplined they may be, it takes quality to win at this level. 

Another great business they did is betting on the right "horse." They identified Salah as a potential key player (potential being the keyword). So, they spent big, but not key-player big, and ended up with "the" key player of the moment. There is always some luck involved, but you gotta help yourself with good scouts and manager...

one thing it is time for us to learn is to look for technique first! other attributes, like pace and power are nice to have, but this is still about playing football (hint is in the name).

Liverpool fans sat on Police vans, damaging vehicles and just generally being idiots is now classed as just fun and being hostile, anyone else does it, it's criminal damage and prison.

But their passionate.
