Salah and Firmino for me are the hardest to replace. Mane's been exceptional, but in Diaz and Jota there's already 2 ready-made left-sided replacements. Liverpool seems perfectly set-up for Salah, think he'd struggle more in a different team than Mane would, if they ever left.

Firmino hasn't really featured this season has he? Would think he is extremely replaceable and I'll be amazed if he is still at Liverpool come August.

Started 17 matches, came on a sub 17 times. Yeah, there's definitely a transition from the original Klopp front 3, but still think the role he plays for Liverpool is quite unique. Massively underrated player IMHO.

Can't blame him. Bayern win the league every year and its a great move for him at this stage of his career. Less intensive league.

Anyone else think it’s slightly bizarre Liverpool doing a open bus tour after scraping an FA cup and league cup win?

not really that exciting to be worth that, esp a couple of days after losing the champ league final

There's only 4 trophies to win and they won two of them - would have said it would be weirder to have ignored that fact just because they didn't win all 4.

It's all relative I guess, it feels like a bit of a damp squib as they won those 2 cups a couple of weeks/months back and just came up short in the other 2 they were after.

Nope. Winning FA Cup alone creates tradition to do an open top bus parade and as said above - they won another.

I can understand why a small club would do it. Don't think the bigger clubs would

Yeah that really. If it was Leicester of course go for it, but not a team who have the squad which is far superior to almost any other team in Europe

No goals scored in 3 cup finals - they need a striker.

Maybe it was more about a fantastic season when they were fighting on 4 different fronts, won 2 of them and came runners-up in the other 2.
That in total IMHO makes it quite a special season.

I think it was in poor taste to have a celebration on the date that was chosen. Not the fault of the club entirely, as apparently it was a decision from the city council, but surely someone at some point would have said it wasn't a good look to have a celebration on the anniversary of Heysel.

Special season winning 2 cups that teams barely bother about until the QFs. And both on penalties

Sorry you can’t celebrate ‘almost’. Or you shouldn’t imo

I don't get all the fuss or any need to justify a bus ride.
They and the people of Liverpool obviously thought that the team had done rather well this season so why not do what they have done?

Perhaps other clubs could look at the connect of the club of team and manager with the local community and learn from it.

Obvs I'm gonna mock the club/fans but I've got to agree with you. Saw a load of pics on Twitter of a LOT of people enjoying themselves

Kinda hard to get too salty about that!
