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.
The task for Jurgen Klopp to prepare his troops to be better in the following season is certainly not too difficult when compared to the task of the new Chelsea coach, namely Mauricio Pochettino. Liverpool only needs to fix some of the shortcomings of the club which actually started to improve at the end of last season. But it is true that Liverpool have not been able to return to their maximum form since losing Sadio Mane. And it's really regrettable that last season Liverpool had to lose Sadio Mane. Even though Sadio Mane had been defending Liverpool for almost 6 years at that time. And actually Sadio Mane's career at Bayern was also not as bright as at Liverpool. In fact, he often gets injured and even after recovering from Mane's injury he also doesn't return to his best performance. And recently there was news that Mane could return to the Premier League. There is speculation that indicates Sadio Mane will join Newcastle. But that's just speculation by sports news journalists who judge based on unclear news. it's just that Mane at Bayern doesn't look right anymore. even some time ago he was involved in a small problem there and was fined. Currently, both Liverpool and Mane are both looking for a way to the peak of their respective glory.
