For awhile it looked like there was a "big four" in England with Chelsea, ManU, City and Arsenal. That script has started to change lately and then last season it was blown away with Chelsea AND ManU missing the top 4. However, those four teams won't go down easily as this season has shown.
This really is our chance (and it must be said Tottenham's chance) to get a foot in the door of those CL spots. Chelsea can claim that last season was a one-off and still sign some big players. But if they miss out a 2nd year in a row, then a trend is happening and they could find that their pull in the transfer market significantly falls.
We have that opportunity to sneak in while the other teams are in transition. I think even the most optimistic Liverpool fans underestimate what a super successful 2016-2017 would mean for this team. If we were able to compete for the title and actually win, we'd instantly be the sensation of the football world. Players would line up to play for Klopp and our status as a top EPL team would be cemented.
That's what happens with a sleeping giant. We aren't Tottenham or Leicester. We are Liverpool. We've been swimming in mud for a decade.
But if you combine a world class manager (who is extremely popular across the world) with a historical juggernaut, and then you win the league....you can instantly change the fortunes of your club.
This is the year for Jurgen and Liverpool.
