Liverpool where odd's on favourites to regain the Prem title. By a landslide.
Pundits, everybody said yes, they are the best side by miles.

What nobody factored in was sometimes you get decimated by injuries. That changed things literally overnight. Take your best most key players out of any side, be it our level, or any level, things suddenly change.
While we are still not good enough to get in the play-offs, how does everyone know that's where we would be if we hadn't lost 85% of our defence this season? Or if we had Travis all season?

What I see alot at the moment is simple solution to a a more complicated question.
I never see any balance in the argument. No mention of injuries.
It all gets conveniently forgotten.
There are numerous factors that decide all of this, even before a ball is kicked.
Have we had much luck? I would say no.
