Thoughts going into the new season?

Mid April - that would have us winning it with 4 or 5 games to spare!

A bit nervous to be honest. I am a Bob Paisley fan he always said build from strength. We know our first 11 is very strong and we have some interchangeable midfielders, but how many top 4 teams did we beat last year in the league and how long can we go with an injury to a key player. So I think that will prove to be a mistake.

But it is great to read all the papers saying the we are out of reach of Arsenal, Chelsea, Manure and the other strong Merseyside team, Liverpool Resssies. Even if I am not quite so confident!

75/76 won the League/UEFA cup double and Joey Jones was the only signing and he didn't play much that season.

The following year Keegan left with no direct replacement and we won European Cup / league double.

Before my time so just checking stats, but doesn't look like Bob bought success, but rather trusted the players he had. Checking different sites, so could be getting dates mixes up, anybody confirm what actually was the case?

Erm,

Erm,

Ahh, he left the following year, so shouldn't be in the 76/77 transfers.

There was also a 'fairly' notable replacement.

Haha I know, my being stupid just looking at transfer stats (https://www.lfchistory.net/Transfers/BySeason/18) without thinking.

The point was though, he didn't buy success.

He built success

Based on what? We were so much better than the rest last year, so who do you think has that level of improvement in them?

I'm probably being overly negative. Maybe a bit of pessimism seeping in as I thought we'd capitalise on our success and add a couple of good players.

I worry about us being able to continue the same level of performance with the same set of players. Some of whom who've barely had a break.

I worry if we pick up injuries to some key players that the backups aren't at the level required to sustain the results.

I think the only squad good enough to sustain 90+ a season is City.

I'd love to be proved wrong but I'd say mid 80s is a good guess for us which will probably put us 2/3rd.

Fair enough.

Personally I think we need to have a lot of bad luck and other teams (outside of City) to have a lot of good luck in order for them to bridge the gap, but someone made the point earlier about how a few transfers for us made a colossal difference, so who knows...
