Seemed to like the underdog status. Liverpool have the funds and resources to be better than they are.Why would Klopp go to a midtable club?

Need to be very very careful now that they are trying to expand the stadium and pay off a large debt.
No Champions league is going to bite hard next season (should they fail to make the 4)
Why would Klopp go to a midtable club?
Even having lost Suarez, a fit and firing Sturridge for the full season sees us finish in the top 4 in my opinion\
In fairness, he just left oneWhy would Klopp go to a midtable club?
Liverpool would be a better version of West Ham for that.Klopp is a real chance to go to West Ham, he loves to build a side.
Costa and Remy have both missed a fair chunk of the season too. But elsewhere we've been sweet.Depends what alternate universe you want to live in.
a) Only Liverpool's star striker remains injury free
b) The same logic applies to all clubs
I've mentioned it on this board previously. If Sturridge was fit all season, then why not Aguero/Toure, or Giroud/Ozil? Particularly our players who missed enormously large chunks of the season?
If a) you may have a point. In more logical universe b) you are still comfortably not in the top 4. Every side bar Chelsea has had a multitude of key player injuries this season.
Liverpool's issues, and thus their top 4 ambitions, have gone far, far beyond Sturridge's fitness this year.
Why wouldn't Benitez come back to Pool. Would make more sense than a lot of others.

You are one game outside the a top 4 containing teams who have also had their top players injured for large chunks of the season. This is the point you seem to be missing.'Comfortably' not in the top 4 with him in the side? Haha win our game in hand against Hull and we're only a game outside without him!
Watching Liverpool against Villa it certainly stood out that a forward isn't the only problem.
'Comfortably' not in the top 4 with him in the side? Haha win our game in hand against Hull and we're only a game outside (with 5 to go) without him!
The difference between us losing Sturridge and our rivals losing their star striker for almost the entire season is that they have the quality to cover for it; Balotelli, Lambert & Borini don't even come close. That was a massive failing on our part, and one we definitely need to rectify in the summer.
They'd be pretty close though. Arsenal is on a 10 game winning streak (or close to). United has been putting it together. The only one you'd think they might possibly pass is City but even that seems highly unlikely.Liverpool can still finish in the top four. I don't think any of the sides just below Chelsea are guarantees.

Mathematically they're obviously not out of it but it's a tough ask.

If you want to put Sturridge back into your hypothetical equation, then you also have to add in all the injured players the rest of the top 4 have had to play without. Everything being equal and all the top teams have no injuries, Liverpool still don't make top 4 for me.
