Liverpool played every single game possible last season in all 4 competitions, many of which ended up going to extra time and penalties. That on top of hardly any new players being brought in means the same players have to do the same as last year and play all of these games so it’s hardly surprising that they are absolutely fucked both physically and mentally.
The level that we and city in particular have played at for the last 4/5 years is insane, pushing each other right until the very last day of the season and getting 90+ points almost every single year, a drop off was always coming. Ours has obviously been a lot worse but all we need is a few new players and hopefully citypool era will be back
