Just needed to raise their game but alas the better team won.
Just hope us and Arsenal/L'Pool/Toon give them a run next season, otherwise it could get dull.
This is what happens when you've a club funded by a very wealthy government playing the sportswashing card. They're greased their way out of sanctions for FFP in the last few seasons, which quite frankly stinks to high heaven if you ask me.
Our squad is only half as big. We largely started the same XI all season. In fact, we had the fewest changes in the starting XI in the entire premier league.
Liverpool have a massive rebuilding job to do. Losing Saido Mane at the end of last season really cost them, and VVD, Mo Salah and Trent AA just haven't stepped up to the plate this year.
The Toon are still very much a WIP. Owners have a bottomless purse, same as Man City, but they seem to be looking at a long term project on a sensible budget, same as us.
