<H1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="2" > Premier League season prediction: 4th place Liverpool</h1>
"Reds" Liverpool last season with 20 wins, 9 draws and 9 losses, 69 points in the Premier League third, the number is actually not bad, but friends who pay attention to the Premier League will know that Liverpool experienced a disastrous season.
Liverpool, which won the long-lost Premier League title in the previous season, bought Diogo Jota, Thiago and Constantinos Zimikas as a substitute for Andrew Robertson last summer, and the three acquisitions may only be able to clearly help the team.
At the beginning of the season, the first game was against Arsenal's Community Shield, and second-year Takumi Minamino scored a goal that seemed to be finally able to successfully integrate into the team, but in the penalty shoot-out stage, Klopp sent young striker Ryan Brewster to miss a penalty, indirectly destroying his just-started career. The Community Shield was focused on the league, the first game against Leeds United was startled by Marcelo Bielsa's aggressive tactics, after a big score of 2-7 defeat to Aston Villa, followed by the "Merseyside Derby" Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford injured Van Dijk, which reimbursed the sea god needle season, and it was only the fifth game of the Premier League, and Liverpool's future was uncertain.
This was followed by the start of the Champions League group stage, where the two-sided battle had left the players physically exhausted and had to prepare for the national team match, and the result was an accident. Joe Gomez was injured while training for the England national team, the season was reimbursed, then Fabinho and Matip were injured, and the center-back position was reduced to being replaced by Jordan Henderson and substitute centre-backs in midfield.
Liverpool don't know if they are cursed, there will be retribution after winning the title. Several centre-backs were injured, and Diogo Jota was injured in the last Champions League group game, but the incident is actually debatable, because Liverpool have determined the qualification before the game, and it is inevitable that the strikers such as Diogo Jota and Salah will be a bit big and small, and it is really not worth the loss to let them rotate the rest result to injury.
A number of players were injured and the team's league record also fell, including five league games without a win at the end of December, against West Bromwich Albion, Fulham, Southampton, Manchester United and Burnley, only one of which was a stronger team, but Southampton broke the league home unbeaten gold, and the morale of the players was low.
In February, because the epidemic turned Liverpool's "Christmas Express" into a "February Death Express", from February to the beginning of March, only 2 of the 8 league games were won, and the remaining 6 games were all lost, and Liverpool basically had no hope of entering the top four during this period, and even the Europa League qualification was in jeopardy.
Stayed up until April, the Champions League quarterfinals against the Galactic Fleet Real Madrid, under the remnants of the battle, Klopp may want to use Nabi Keita as a surprise soldier, by him to play the right selection, the result of the test failed, Naby Keita was replaced in 42 minutes, two rounds can not see too much counterattack power, fantasy by taking the Champions League title to continue the Champions League qualification the idea is officially shattered.
Back to reality, the last 7 league games, perhaps there is no way back, perhaps Klopp used magic, or perhaps the players began to adapt to the play in the residual team, the last 7 games did not taste a defeat, during which Alisson Becker scored a goal of the final kill, this goal in addition to saving the team, but also aroused the morale of a large number of players, the last five games were won, and finally ended with the 3rd, completing the impossible task. Liverpool also managed to retain their place in the Champions League.
The difficult season is believed that the next season will not be repeated, how unlucky it will be to injure 2 main centre-backs, substitute centre-backs and substitutes at the same time. However, Liverpool have also acquired centre-back Conat, a seemingly practical but more injury-ridden man who hopes he can overcome it. Except for Konat to shoot, there is no other buying news, and the position of Wijnaldum who left the team as a free agent can not be filled for the time being, and perhaps the team will play 4-2-4 is also an option. At the same time, Harvey Elliott returned to the team on loan, scoring seven goals and 11 assists at Blackburn Rangers last season, a feat worth staying in the squad for a spot.
In addition, several players also fell sharply last season. The first was Arnold, and without Van Dijk to help him bottom out, his lack of sharpness and instability became the epitome of his last season. The second is Mane, who has been battling Salah for the team's top scorer last season.
The tough season is over, the goal of the new season is still to chase the Premier League title and the Champions League, and this season may be the last time the "Egyptian Civilization" trio will attack the title together, because the three have been working together for many years, and the next season is time to make some changes, otherwise Liverpool will only slowly decline.
