              You have to compare two full seasons and the team is in 4th, which by definition means it's not crap. So no, it's anything but factual.
              But you're a supporter of a team that lost so I get your frustration. And you're supporter of a competing team so I'm not surprised by the comment either.

    Liverpool look more like beans on toast.

    Klopp understood you needed a mixture of flair players supported by runners who press and track back.

    This team now looks unbalanced.

    Guess Trent was the reason Salah kept getting chances last season. He doesn't look like he'll get a single chance this match.
