The efforts Liverpool made to end in the top four of this season premiere leagues is quite noticeable and notable to say the least, they indeed tried their best and I personally commend their effort, one thing that I think made them not end the season in the top four is because they woke up from their slumber rather too late, had it been they played from the beginning of the season, like they played towards the end of the season, nothing would have stopped them from ending the season in the top four..,
But like you said, there is still another chance coming for them to try to prove their worth again, the next season is fast approaching, and I also hope they prepare seriously for it, they can go for the title once again like they did go for it in 2019/2020 and got it..
Liverpool have made pretty good progress in their performance towards the end of the competition where as far as I remember they managed to win several games in a row but in the end they could not move the might of Manchester United and Newcastle United in the top 4 which made Liverpool have to settle for closing the season in 5 place.
Of course Liverpool will return to bring in players to try their luck stronger next season. But what makes me salute Liverpool is their decision to give plenty of time for kloop to bring Liverpool to win trophies in the coming seasons.
