Liverpool Need To Start Looking Beyond This Summer

But in any case, the speculation has, naturally, turned to what Liverpool are going to do next in the transfer market.
I’ve previously stated before that I’m not really that bothered, either about transfer markets in general or specifically about who Liverpool sign this window and …
Liverpool FC: From 4-1 Humiliation To Champions Of Europe
Define ignominious: Liverpool's 4-1 defeat away to Tottenham in October 2017.
That dank autumn afternoon was Jurgen Klopp's nadir as Reds manager, at a time when the first few doubts were creeping on about this most charismatic of men.

Liverpool Player Ratings: End of Season Edition - Part One

Observations as Liverpool Miss Out on the Title
This was grace in defeat, going down in the most beautiful way.
Liverpool pushed and pulled and forced their way to 97 points, they made City work for the title. Amassing more points than the Invincibles and any United side managed by Sir Alex Ferguson, there could be no shame in not winning the most coveted prize.

Who else is still bouncing? Who else can’t think about anything apart from THAT game? Who else wouldn’t change this Liverpool team for the world?
Tuesday night is seconded only to Istanbul for me, in terms of drama, passion and emotion, on a night that genuinely felt flat in my mind before kick-off.
This time they really weren’t going to turn it around, were they? That Vincent Kompany stunner against Leicester had only further dampened spirits, following an extremely harsh …
