While some teams still have something to play for, some others are basically showing up for games, and that will remain the case for the two gameweeks that are remaining before we bid farewell to this season.
It's been a rather uninspiring season for Liverpool and I'm one of those who's genuinely disappointed with how we handled games in the last quarter of this season. The performance we've been putting up has been awful across all competition. We had all the odds in our favor when we got knocked out of the FA Cup.
I couldn't even believe it because I thought we would win that competition with ease. However, we got knocked out due to our own inefficiency. The same was the case when we were paired to play against Atalanta in the Europa League. That wasn't a tough game on paper. Liverpool had all the odds in their favor. Yet, we snoozed in the first leg of the game and allowed Atalanta to serve us a well-deserved punishment.
Remember the comeback we pulled against Barcelona in UCL? I thought we would be able to smoothly run through Atlanta in the second leg of the game. We even got a very early goal through a penalty in the first 5 minutes of the game. All we had to do was to create a shit ton of chances and at the very least, level the scoreline before halftime.
I believe you know how that story turned out. It was one of the most boring game of football I've witnessed this season. Liverpool got bodied by Atalanta's physical football and we ended up passing the ball around our own half when we should be pressing down Atalanta's neck.
I will be honest... I didn't expect Liverpool to be in any serious title race when we were beginning the season. We had a completely new midfield and each of them has had their moments, but I just didn't think we would be contending for anything. However, halfway through the season, it felt like we could be aiming for all 4 titles. A quadruple in Klopp's final season would have been so poetic.
However, we started to crumble and we failed without holding a break. After so many weeks of not getting results, we finally managed to get a 4 - 2 win in today's game against Tottenham.
Erm... A win is always good. But this season is pretty much over for Liverpool. I'm looking forward to what a Liverpool without Klopp would look like. To even think about that is both scary and interesting. Haha.
