Liverpool were smashing teams left, right and centre during Dalglish's first season two years ago because they were playing with no pressure. Same thing is happening now. They were too far behind 4th to realistically challenge, and they are too far adrift this time around to catch not one but 3 teams.
Emirates Marketing Project aren't just going to stand still, especially after being so far behind United. Chelsea will probably have Lukaku back and/or sign another top striker. Arsenal reportedly have in excess of 100 million to spend. And we will make some new signings. All of the clubs I mentioned are a more attractive proposition than Liverpool. What top players do they have other than Suarez?
Why are you talking about the past?
The past does not matter.
Right now Liverpool are brick hot and that indicates a good future. Right now we are scoring 3 goals a game which indicates the same.
