You won’t be saying that when it’s Sp**s in the finalThe only thing that gives me hope is Klopp’s terrible cup final record.

Similar to Sarri. Praying for City, Ajax and Arsenal to win what's left to win.The only thing that gives me hope is Klopp’s terrible cup final record.
Are you speaking net spend there or total spend?
Look, 80 million brings in a good variety of players, and those that fly under the radar as you mentioned. But spending money on Alison and Virgil for example are the types of buys we need.
Its not going to happen next season, but if we are smart about our rebuild, we will be there too. Lets just hope its an output that resembles our beloved Arsenal.
Exactly this our mentality is weak with no grit.The major thing our squad lacks is mentality. The Liverpool team that played tonight asides 3 or 4 players are not better than many of our first team players yet they produced a performance our current team can only dream of.
Even if we had best team in the world, weak mentality will not win matches.
The current title challenge between Liverpool and City is a testament
I recall how great our football was but I also recall us throwing away 9 point leads in March and giving the title to Man Utd on a few occasions. In Europe we were never quite there just couldn’t jump that final hurdle.
Folks, we have just witnessed Barcelona, arguably the best team in the world in the last 10 years, playing with the handbrakes fully engaged.
He has spent £390m total since he's been there. We've spent £310m in the same time period (haven't looked at net spend but i imagine they're better off in that regard). The difference in spending is basically Van Dijk. I seriously doubt adding him to our current team makes us a 97 point team and Champions League finalists.
Contrast that to zero trophies won by Klopp, being in arguably better circumstances than we were.
Look, Im not going to apologise for the failings of Wenger during that time. We failed with our teams during that time and you are right to point that out.
What we should do however is measure Klopp with the same criteria and make an honest call. Yes, Klopp did not surrender leads like we did, but overall the failure seem to balance out so far.
Madrid 2019 is going to be huge for Klopp. Fail there and we need to ask how good he really is.

Legit, don't understand why they didn't wait until after the season to renew. It's not like Valverde was going anywhere. La Liga titles are nice and all, but you know the CL was their priority after Real's recent successes. Now they'll have to pay him a fat severance to get rid of him. Well, not my problem.And he just signed an extension :rofl:
Two years in a row of bottling in extreme ways. They might actually kill him
They did not specifically marked him. He was just not mentally in it. Never seen Messi miss that many in a game. Even the freekick, he hit the wall.They marked him out the game tonight. But well done Pool.
Klopp on our budget wouldn't have helped tbh.
That opportunity in the first half where he dawdled on the ball was the real chance for him. Should have been tie done and dusted at that moment. Can't blame him on the free kick, it would have taken something incredible to score from that distance again.They did not specifically marked him. He was just not mentally in it. Never seen Messi miss that many in a game. Even the freekick, he hit the wall.
That early chance where he could have taken the shot instead of trying to dribble past Matip, who was behind him, showed his state of mind.
