One of the wilder accusations came from talkSPORT’s Ray Parlour.

The former Arsenal man not only didn’t put it down to the incredible amount of injuries that the Reds have had to contend with, nor just a more general drop in standards, as can befall most teams at some point in a season.
Parlour suggested the fault lay with Liverpool’s owners for not strengthening the squad appropriately at the start of the season.
? “#LFC didn’t strengthen enough.”
? “Once you win the league, you should go out & buy two even better players.”
? “Teams have work them out!”

In a way the guy is right.
Absolutely correct, it’s like Hicks and Gillett all over again, 1 good season no need to invest. Look at Man City.. Need CB but 2 £100m..soon to be champions, they shop at harrods, we at pound land. We’ve now lost the aura we built over the last few years.
