Liverpool are not winning the league this year. The only way that is happening is if City capitulate, and I can't see them doing that.
If Klopp manages to win the league on merit, then frankly he has to go down as one of the greatest managers of all time. But I think thats stretching it. You can see from the Club's business this year where the ambition lies. City spent 120 million on two new faces to freshen things up for the first team, we did nothing.
Why did we do nothing? You can argue Jurgen likes a small squad, you can argue that we retained our best players, even though if you think thats a success for Liverpool well then we can't be thought that highly enough in World Football. You can argue we are saving ourselves next year, but me? I think the Club believes they can't bridge the gap without significant spend and the owners are not prepared to do that.
As for the squad and Klopps happiness with it we will see wheres he's at today. So far this season, Shaqiri, Lallana and Brewster haven't featured, Keita is injured. I would expect Jurgen to ring some changes today off the back of Wednesday, but if we don't see any of those three featured then I guess that tells you what he thinks of them as rotation options because frankly some of those first team players look out on their feet to me.
Last year Jurgen didn't rotate too much, he basically plays his core set of players and only rotates into the starting line up if absolutely necessary which tells you he doesn't feel he has the quality in reserve.
