Liverpool is one of the best teams we are aware of, but they were unable to make it to the Champions League because of the way things were going for them.
Liverpool has a good history both in the Premier and Champions League. Last season was one of their worst performance in recent times. And the issue was that they started the league sluggish and had to struggle to get good results. The performance of the team improved towards the end of the season and they were fortunate to get the Europa League ticket. The transfer of Sadio Mané affected the club negatively because there was no compatible replacement for the Senegalese striker. Liverpool had to gradually learn to play without Mane. The performance of Liverpool next season will be determined by the quality of players it can boast of. Manchester City have started pushing for new players to fortify their team and Chelsea has started buying new players to give the team an attacking edge. Liverpool should also use this opportunity to get new players, especially in the attack because Sallah's performance might keep reducing because of age.
