“They may even have a hard time finishing second,” began Durham’s incredible claim on Drive.
“No drafting, Klopp moaning, terrible season finale, and they will go flat for not scoring 100 points at the end of last season and what that post-lock form was like.
“Bielsa said that Anfield is not the same without the fans, and having been at Anfield last season when it was full of fans, and again when there were no fans there, I can tell you that there is a huge difference, more than any other. Premier League pitch that you experienced after the lockout.
“When I say Liverpool could have a hard time finishing second, I even think Liverpool could finish behind Manchester United this season.
