They could have won the league once, that was the slip year. Rafa Benitez is a completely different era of Liverpool. In any case, yeah the competition for top 4 nowadays is a lot stronger, which is exactly why a team performing like how Manchester United are has no chance of getting in. All 5 teams above them are winning games left and right, they're 8 points behind Arsenal, never mind top 4. For context, they'd be 13th with 8 fewer points, and and are closer to the relegation zone than they are to Manchester City. It's insane to think they're anywhere close to the top 4 when they're 11 points adrift of it while teams like Wolves, Everton, West Ham, Watford and Bournemouth are within touching distance of them. If anything, they're barely holding on to 6th place at the moment. |
I really wouldn't tempt fate if I were you because the second half of a season can change things drastically you should know being a Liverpool fan with the amount of season second halfs that have been in contrast to your first, United are were they are because they've done something they've mastered over 30 years grind out campaigns, even when they don't play well they're often still able to catch the top 4 the have been several seasons where they've had shaky first halve seasons then gone on to be fine.
