We won the Premier League and reached the Champions League final and EVERYONE including the manager acknowledged we needed to level up in attack

Delusion.
The PL was much easier back then. 100pts in 2017/18 is the equivalent of 88pts now based on league strength.
The reality is Liverpool only ran two title races vs Pep and lost both times.
Liverpool was like a rollercoaster under Klopp; never consistent over 3 seasons.
