My hope is that Liverpool get back into the Champions League for next season and then start to throw money around to prove they are ready to match the Premier League’s big spenders. “Actually, it was the same question somebody asked me here when we won 3-1, last time here against Chelsea”.
“Everyone’s been working hard in training, so for sure, it’s good for the manager to have options to choose from, and it’s good for Liverpool”.
“Chelsea in the second half was what we should have seen for the whole 90 minutes”. I don’t want to think, ‘What are they doing now?
