Liverpool is the team that many opponents want to defeat at the moment. With 2 successful years as European champions and English champions, The Kop is considered a symbol of strength that needs to be conquered.
As the new season is approaching, The Kop have yet to show any notable innovation.
Poor transfer
Since the summer market opened, The Kop has only had time to add an unpopular contract - Kostas Tsimikas from Olympiakos for more than 11 million pounds.
Bayern Munich's Thiago Alcantara rumors are still just rumors and there is no such thing as certain. If they don't bring Alcantara to Anfield in time, Liverpool may keep their old squad together to play in the 2020-21 season.
In fact, Liverpool also planned to take lightning-fast action but the COVID-19 pandemic ruined all plans. After decades of spending with a much weaker budget than their arch-rivals, when devastated by the epidemic, The Kop was forced to tighten the mid-back immediately.
Liverpool are carrying a huge salary, which is also the reason why they are sluggish at the transfer table. Discovering people like Alexander-Arnold is further strengthening Jurgen Klopp's confidence in using his internal strength to beat the times.
Liverpool could be "arrested"
The Kop fans must have dreamed of the image of Timo Werner becoming an Anfield player. However, at the last minute, the German striker moved to Chelsea. After that, Chelsea had a series of more stars due to Liverpool's helplessness.
Last season, Chelsea lost both times to Liverpool but The Blues still have more appeal than The Kop, that is confusing. This shows that Liverpool's scouting and negotiating team is not doing well. If we can escape the gloomy prospect caused by COVID-19, will this improve in the coming time?
Warning from Manchester United
With new signing Bruno Fernandes alone, Man United climbed a circuit from a position near the Top 10 to a narrow position in the Top 4. again talking about transfers, M.U only needs a rookie to have changed so strongly, can Liverpool stand still and watch?
Manchester United or Chelsea are just two of dozens of other examples. Premier League teams still burn tens, hundreds of millions of pounds per transfer season. In today's era of worshiping money-making football, Liverpool find it difficult to stand outside that spiral.
The position Liverpool is standing like the top of a pyramid, just enough for 1 person. Below are dozens of opponents climbing up and wanting to put the bullet in Jurgen Klopp's team. Getting glory is one thing, keeping it is many times more difficult.
The new season will start in nearly 3 weeks, the time to do something revolutionary is now gone for Liverpool. With what he has, is Klopp confident when he stops by and looks at the times?
