Liverpool started making more individual mistakes. Simple and avoidable mistakes that should not ever happen on that level, but when I watched Liverpool games they were also out of this craving for success that you usually could see in their faces. Sometimes even Klopp seemed to be puzzled about the mistakes that his players made. As if they were tired and drained. When they conceded a goal some years ago it almost meant nothing. Everyone knew that they will turn it around with every second that is left and so often they did it, but this has been a different Liverpool for some time now. I wish we get the old Liverpool back soon.
Well a bad season needed to happen. This is a really high level and is impossible to stay on it for a few years. Only team that was able to play really good all this years was Man City. But i see Liverpool next season in top 3 and i think Klopp can make that happen. They showed this season they can play really good and really bad . I think next season will be much different then this one
I guess it's right that it had to happen similar to a thunderstorm when it was too hot for too long or the weather needs to cool down. Liverpool had a few seasons in a row that were unbelievable. But I thought it is not the time yet for them to crash and I think missing the Champions League does hurt a club like Liverpool a lot because that is what is driving them to improve throughout the season and to never take a break but put even more effort into achieving their goals. Now it is a different situation. They did make it into the EL as has been said here, but it is not quite what those players want to play when they already have the experience of playing CL finals. They have been a great and also important contender for Manchester City and now I am not sure who could be the next to do that or whether Liverpool can retrieve that performance level.
