If one thing is clear, it’s that Napoli and Ajax are, by a distance these days, the best teams in Italy and Holland respectively, two of Europe’s strongest domestic leagues.
That superiority was seen as Napoli crushed Liverpool while Ajax demolished Rangers, only for Liverpool to scrape a lucky win against the Dutch while the Italians were then hammering Rangers at Ibrox.
But Liverpool are a distance off being the best side in England, they’re not even close.
Too many fans are paying attention to their CV, and not their current campaign.
Yes, they were Champions League finalists (ripped apart by Real as it happened in Paris) and yes they’ve won the league a few times recently, but CV counts for nothing in the here and now.
In the here and now, Liverpool are just an average PL team, midtable, and they’ve lost one of their most influential players in Sadio Mane not to mention the mighty Ben Davies…
Being serious, their season isn’t good, it’s average, and while they’re still stocked with world class players, that doesn’t matter a jot if they’re not performing.
This isn’t Ajax or Napoli, this isn’t a side bang in form and the worst time to face them, this is a side there for the taking no matter what names are on that team sheet.
This team, hand on heart, isn’t as good as the Dortmund or Leipzig sides we beat last season – they were both top four in Germany, but Liverpool can’t even beat Brighton.
Their reputation is going before them, and Rangers, if our European side from even the PSV second leg shows up, are capable of winning this one.
Don’t overestimate Liverpool and don’t underestimate us.
But doesnt this site always claim the champions lge is a massive step up from Europa lge and the teams we played last season. I dnt think it is, i just think we are a weakened side from last season and thts why we arent as gd in Europe this season, especially with all the injurys and lack of proper Cb’s.
We stand by that, it is. Even Gio and Lundstram said that. Doesn’t mean we can’t win a single match though?
Not with these tactics, injurys, and we just arent as good as we were last season.
I dont agree liverpool were “ripped apart ” by real ,liverpool were the best team ,however i digress .They are one of the biggest clubs in the world and along with man u are one of the 2 biggest and most famous from EPL .
They are a massive massive club with tons of honours at home and in europe they deserve respect and fear ,as long as it is positive tonight and we produce .
I hope you are right and we do get a great result tonight ,here is hoping ! .
Good article ……best of luck tonight hope you turn them over. Just to point out though they have only won one league title in 30 years! Best of luck again from a MCFC supporter and no lover of Liverpool FC.
You’re right ” their reputation is going before them”. But they are still wiping the floor with us! Be careful what you say before a ball has been kicked.
Turns out the players and” manager”? were also ……..
