We don't let this slip [Liverpool 13/14 Retro DB]

So for Football Manager 24 I have created a 2013/14 retro database, so I have decided to do a career as Liverpool to test out the mod and to enjoy the fruits of 6 months of labour. The database is available for free at FM Scout with a 'Retro Regens' mod available on my Patreon page which brings real players into the game over a 10 year span.
A look into the past
Lets remind of ourselves of what happened to Liverpool in the 2013/14 season.

The 2013/14 season saw Liverpool finish 2nd in the league just two points behind Man City and going out early in both domestic cup competitions, albeit to Arsenal and Manchester United. The season is remembered by most football fans for one specific moment.

The Steven Gerrard slip that cost them the league title.
My aim is to see if I can do one better and bring Liverpool their first Premier League title, 6 years earlier than their title win in 2019/20.
The Journey begins

Here we go! Can I do better than Brendan Rodgers did 10 years ago?

The board only want us to qualify for Europa League which should be easy enough. I'd like to think we can challenge for the title.

The supporters want pretty much the same but they also want to beat Everton. That's a given for any Liverpool manager.

This is the squad I have to work with. Definitely needs some additions if you ask me but with a transfer budget of 15m, there's not a lot of wriggle room. The question will be if we can get the SAS firing up top. I remember Suarez being an absolute monster in 2013/14.

The media are predicting a 6th place finish with Man Utd to win the league in their first season under David Moyes. Interesting that FM24 only predicts actual real-life champions Man City finishing 3rd.
