Because something happened this season does not imply it will happen next. You could apply your above stats to Chelsea over City the season before,
Liverpool are stronger than they’ve been for years. Don’t think they could have possibly envisaged Salah’s impact plus still have most of the Coutinho money. Despite irritating a number of people on here Klopp is clearly a v good coach and players want to play for him. So as much as it grates they are in a very healthy place.
