its not an impossible question at all, and suggesting we just throw 200m at a dartboard is just being difficult.
fact is, if Klopp had another 200m to spend, with all indicators on the recruitment team this club has put together up until now, it definatley would have made a difference.
its still amazing to me folks try to muddy the question.
No £200m in the hands of Klopp would not improve us. £200m can’t kick a football around, although we could change it all into fivers and pile it up in front of the goal.
If Klopp was willing to spend it, then it could improve us, but it would have to be the right player, and that player would need to be available, and existing player would have to clear off.
To go further, I think Klopp could already have £200m if he wanted it. He wouldn’t be able to do that every year, but the club hasn’t spent much net for quite a while now and surely has the capacity for a ‘big summer’. I would be surprised if the right player was available last the summer or January at the right price and we’d not moved. Had Jude Bellingham been available last summer for £100m I think we’d have done that, and Nunez, without batting an eyelid.
To be fair I thought it was our defending that let us down No challenges going in for the first goal then the usually brilliant Ali messing up for the second, poor marking on the third, for which I blame the coaching staff, I do not like zonal marking but it can work if perfectly executed. Then an unlucky deflection for the fourth. Add to that the clear penalty we should have had early in the second half. Also do not forget that we were up against the best team in the world.
If we get our heads up and start every game as we did this one we can still finish first. People are talking about a new mid fielder but IMO more important is a new defensive coach. We do not attack the ball positively enough in our own box and the space left empty for the third goal was criminal.
