Liverpool have reaped a failure this season none other than because they made a blunder by releasing Sadio Mane to Bayern Munich which made the balance of Liverpool front line undirected since the start of the season. We have seen how Liverpool performed at the start of the season where they were easily beaten by other teams. I think that's Liverpool's weakness this season.
Liverpool failure to close the season in the top 4 was indeed very bitterly accepted by fans because several players brought in by Liverpool were unable to make a big contribution, such as Nunez and Gakpo. But for next season I can't say that Liverpool will really rise to win the trophy EPL because their strength is still weak enough to get rid of Manchester City.
Releasing Mane was one of Liverpool blunders, the stubborn attitude of Liverpool management which did not realize Mane request resulted in a drop in the team's performance. Nunez who was brought in at a high price, was unable to replace Mane, Liverpool's unbalanced front line made it difficult for them to break into the opponent's goal.
Apart from that, the back line also needs a new touch, Klopp, who is still entrusted with serving as Liverpool coach, needs to find solutions to overcome the problems that have occurred this season. Liverpool needs to strengthen its team so they can compete for next season's competition. Competition at the top is increasingly competitive because the strong teams in the EPL are increasing. Newcastle have become a new threat in the title race, Manchester United will also spend heavily to bring in new players if ownership of the club falls into the hands of Qatar banker Sheikh Jassim Al-Thani.
