It is still an improvement

Okay, so let’s say Liverpool don’t get Champions League again for another year that’s so bad, in fact it’s to be expected considering it has been four years since this last happened. Therefore, Europa league it is then right? Wrong, it’s not that simple. Let’s not forget last season Liverpool were 11 points of qualification for the Europa League through the league and didn’t fair too well in the cups being knocked out be Swansea and Oldham respectively. Consequently, continental qualification through either the league or the cups would be a marked improvement on represent progress for Liverpool.
