So that shakes out for this year, but the point is if they don't get 4th they don't get the group stage money next year, and with the way they are financed that could be a catastrophic blow. Not to the degree of Leeds, but it would be a massive financial blow.
The balancing out between advancing in the Champions League and slipping to Europa only happens if you go all the way to the final of the Europa League, not exactly a strong likelihood even for a good side like Liverpool.
