A great effort to give a balanced view but too many clichés and egregious Confirmation Bias. Did you not think that this season has been a blatant combination of 2020-21 and 2022-23..?! It is glaringly obvious that VVD, Robbo, Salah, Gomez and even Konaté do not have the speed or dynamism of 2 years ago. They are way past their peak. Their "legs have gone." Did Liverpool not have a whole host of injuries this season to established and new players? 🙃
Salah has behaved like a selfish, egotistical prick. He was responsible for Klopp leaving a year earlier than planned. One could say that Salah potentially cost Klopp another title. FSG were bullied by the Egyptian's agent and the fanbase into giving Salah a huge contract which was not warranted.
Robbo has clearly explained to that the pre-season was seriously curtailed by Jota's sudden death. That basically screwed the season, removing the fitness base and core strength for most of the squad. Most of the Liverpool team were going into the season at 80-85%, nowhere near the level needed in elite sports which is above 90%.
Excellent response. This writer also mention a heavy defeat against Palace. I assume he means the League Cup tie at Anfield when we fielded what was basically a youth side. There are few pluses to this season I agree but the defeats of Real,Arsenal, Everton (twice)and Atletico are surely worth a mention. But when you’ve got an agenda. He also fails to call out the disgraceful booing and social media abuse heaped on a decent man. And these people talk about loss of identity. This hateful behaviour is beyond anything I’ve experienced in more than 60 years of going to Anfield. If that isn’t a loss of identity, I don’t know what is. Whoever follows Slot has a hell of task. Two seasons, one title, two ECL quarters only losing to eventual winners and a Champions League spot retained. What a record of failure. Oh, and a star player died but that probably

doesn’t count.
Bravo! An excellent, sensible response.
