I do think others fans will have lost track of Liverpool. Klopp is still for me the best manager pound for pound in the league (in terms of getting the most out of what he has).
As you say Liverpools midfield was declining, like us end of Pochettino era, it was done. Getting Lavia along with Mcallister and szoboszlai and their midfield is basically fixed. Beyond that they could be a 1-2 more players short of another title challenge or at least 90+ points season.
Yeah I think they will push man city all the way next season. But then again this time last year I was saying West Ham would finish above Woolwich, so that just goes to show what I know!
