Did you read anything else I wrote? I never said it was the reason. The reason Liverpool went from finishing 7th every season to bashing Spurs 12-0 over three matches is very simple: Liverpool have lost £140m in the transfer market over the last four seasons, and Spurs have made a £39m profit over that same period. Liverpool's wage bill is also substantially higher. One club is ambitious and the other has an owner who is determined to build a new stadium so that he can sell in a few years. What you call "naive defending" I call "poor players."

Kaboul has been one of the worst defenders in the league for the last two seasons and he's still starting against last year's runners up. Danny Rose is so mentally weak that he had to be substituted last season because he couldn't handle abuse from Stoke fans, and he's still starting against last year's runners up. Bentaleb is 19 and very inexperienced, and he's starting against last year's runners up in central midfield. Pochettino asked for Schneiderlin, and he's going to get a £4m midfielder from Montpellier instead. I could go on, but I think you get the point.
