I do hope Pep will be able to fire the players up, despite a lack of new players that would mix things up a bit and provide some extra competition within the squad.
Pep started the mental side of this as soon as we wrapped the title up last year. Kept them on their toes about being record breakers and was already talking up the importance of this season and difficulty we will face. He is a shrewd fella who knows exactly what he is doing in the players heads.
I know mate. I still think it's a worry that we've more or less kept the squad intact with the exception for Mahrez. Nevertheless, I do look forward for a more exciting league campaign.

I think Yaya was a big weight around our neck the last 2 years. The "I'm really pretending to try but I'm the big man and I hate Guardiola" attitude can't have been good for team spririt.
Sad. But well rid in the end

I don't think he'll flop nor turn out to be great,
Just average at best, I dont think his price tag is justified seeing he's not won any major silverware. We were salughtered what we paid for Ederson but that seems like bargain now. The spotlight is on Allison to deliver which the last thing any goalkeeper wants

This is true regarding the spotlight, there will be MASSIVE media and fan pressure on them to pick up silverware (mainly the title) this season. The players will be under scrutiny, but also the opposite will happen in certain media outlets, they will paper over any cracks that start to show.
Looking forward to this season, Liverpool are a much better 1st 11 than last year, however, their defence is still there to be destroyed,

Stephen Tudor who writes stuff for city yesterday pointed out that LFC employ writers to write positive PR and produce stats that put LFC in a positive light in world wide media , hence the bullshit “net spend” chart which btw got slaughtered and exposed for what it is yesterday. It Is a fucking disgrace how LFC are trying to control the media and it’s image !

Positive PR isn't just earned, it's actually paid for. Even the Beeb are at it when they receive more clckscto their positive Rag/Dipper articles, and with their new location you can only imagine what backhanders the Rag fans there get from the Swamp.
