Liverpool fans will have been relieved by a better showing against Napoli in the Champions League, but they will also be scratching their heads at their success in Europe compared to the ongoing struggles in England.
Rio Ferdinand and Peter Crouch were in no doubt that the Reds could mount a successful challenge in the continent’s premier competition, despite several inconsistent performances at home.
We’ve certainly done well historically in Europe and it’s still possible to go all the way (especially considering the fairytale possibility of another final appearance in Istanbul, the site of our most famous victory).
Regardless, we wouldn’t want to see Jurgen Klopp’s men abandon the English top flight altogether, at least not as far as our hopes of breaking into the top four are concerned.
