What has been the main narrative at Liverpool since Jurgen Klopp took charge back in October 2015? They can't beat the lesser sides.
This has undoubtedly been a major issue, and one of the main reasons why a title challenge evaporated in such alarming fashion last season.
In fact, it has been an achilles heel for...

Forget City's Soufflé-style of calculated luxury: we've entered Jürgen's Black Forest Gateau of Mayhem.
High-class pomp has been decimated by working-class passion as the Moneyball-marauding FSG out-bought City's billions in all areas.
