In fact... most of our strongest side doesn't even make Pep's best Premier League 11... and I only say that to highlight what it took and what is actually needed under these owners - to compete.

    It was the epic efforts of Jurgen and the right players willing to operate at 110% week in and week out... on the training ground and in the games... that gave us the glory years. HOWEVER... those years were invariably followed up by a crash... and this Boom and Bust is the direct result of penny-pinching owners. They are sat on an asset that has multiplied 14 times... FOURTEEN TIMES what they put in... and they still have us paying back on infrastructure at a record pace.

    It's why nutters like me have been bangin' on about it for YEARS... because it was obvious all the way through if you were actually watching. What Salah is saying now equates exactly with Oxlade-Chamberlain’s comments when he first arrived at Klopp's Liverpool... the sheer shock when he found the work involved and the running expected.

    In short... we massively over-achieved... and now finally... more than just a few folks have realised why. It wasn't the data anal'ists... it was graft... massive graft and determination to deliver for the manager and the fans... coupled to the belief and courage instilled to go and compete until they dropped. That was it. Yes we landed some great players... but the sum of the parts isn't getting close to 90 points under different management. No chance... no way
    I then posted a quick combined 11

    Alisson
    Trent Kompany VVD Robbo
    KDB Rodri David/Bastardo Silva
    Salah Halaand Mane

    Ali, Robbo, VVD, Salah & Mane are definitely the best in their position from the Klopp v Pep era.

    Not a chance Korolov, Cancelo, Mendy, Walker, Zichenko, Zabaleta, or any of the center halves / wingers he shoe horns in at full back get in our 18-22 side.

    And if you genuinely think Guardiola wouldn't have swapped any of his fullbacks for either Trent or Robbo then you're demented.
