Another topic I'm wondering about is if Liverpool will be able to leave this kind of a poor season behind quickly. Because this was really one of their most unsuccessful seasons in the recent years. I haven't been used to seeing Liverpool not joining the Champions League. Because they have always been like one of the biggest title contenders together with Manchester City. But this season was way different. I think one of the reasons could be their letting go of Mane. Because his contribution to the team was enormous.
I mean he made a great duo with Salah you know. The cooperation between these two has helped this team reach successes easier. Mane was like a bridge between the midfield and attacking area of this team. But as of his departure Salah started to have really serious problems for some time. I hope Klopp will work on all the problems left to fix them and prepare his players solidly for next season.
It will be exceedingly challenging for Liverpool to fail to qualify a champion every season, but since Mane went, everything changed, and the players' performances now resemble those of athletes who have not had adequate time to prepare for the league. Sadio Mane's absence is the sole cause of Liverpool's subpar performance this season. After Mane departed from the team, it looks like a team that is not among the top teams.
I think if Liverpool is successful in qualifying for the champion league the following season, many players will be transferred from the team to another team, but no other teams will be interested in them because of their poor play. I think this will also serve as a punishment for the team to not be dependent on one player because if the player leaves the team it will affect them.
