It is interesting, but I think it was more about circumstance.

Klopp had a much, much tougher task. Yeah, Slot won the League at a brisk jog without buying anyone other than Chiesa, but really, I think Slot and Liverpool think 'Now is the Time.'

United and Spurs are no threat, City are finally financially constrained for the first time ever, Chelsea are a wild card, they could be equally stellar or garbage on any given night, who knows about Newcastle?

The biggest dog in the fight is Arsenal.

Whereas Klopp was fighting everyone all the time. The margins were Razor thin. Its why you saw Klopp be that passionate, because he was under immense pressure all the time, a draw here loss there and all of a sudden you're under water, how many times did City win the title by a point? Liverpool won by 10 last season.

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.
