Even the most optimistic of Liverpool reporters couldn't quite bring themselves to believe a record-equalling 20th title would be on its way to Anfield.

At least that was spot on, right?

Paul Gorst: Mohamed Salah

Ian Doyle: Mohamed Salah

Theo Squires: Mohamed Salah

Joe Rimmer: Diogo Jota

No points for originality among those who expected the Egyptian to take the honours given his standing as one of the best players in the world.

Full points for creativity in believing Jota would take the accolade, though, even if it was somewhat wrong.

Paul Gorst: Stefan Bajcetic

Ian Doyle: Ryan Gravenberch

Theo Squires: Ryan Gravenberch

Joe Rimmer: Harvey Elliott

Bajcetic left on loan shortly after the start of the season and had a miserable time at Red Bull Salzburg before a better spell with Las Palmas.

Elliott had a frustrating campaign with a lack of first-team starts, but Gravenberch emerged as one of the best players in the Premier League.

Paul Gorst: Erling Haaland

Everyone went for the easy option and everyone was wrong.

Rice was perhaps Arsenal's best player overall, but Salah was a class above the rest.

Paul Gorst: Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal, Newcastle United

Ian Doyle: Arsenal, Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea

Theo Squires: Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur

Joe Rimmer: Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United

Paul Gorst: Nottingham Forest, Ipswich Town, Southampton

Ian Doyle: Leicester City, Southampton, Nottingham Forest

Theo Squires: Leicester City, Nottingham Forest, Southampton

Joe Rimmer: Ipswich Town, Southampton, Wolves

The struggles of the promoted teams were anticipated but nobody could bring themselves to relegate all three of them, which of course is eventually what happened.

Fair to say the success of Nottingham Forest wasn't expected, however.

Paul Gorst: Liverpool

Ian Doyle: Manchester City

Theo Squires: Real Madrid

Joe Rimmer: Manchester City

Nobody saw the impact of Paris Saint-Germain in European competition coming this season, but Liverpool could console themselves at coming closer than anyone to eliminating the ultimately deserving winners.
