2015-16
Klopp took over and led the club to two finals, losing the League Cup to Manchester City and the Europa League to Sevilla. Liverpool finished eighth in the Premier League.
2016-17
Some big-time transfer hits for Klopp in the summer, as Sadio Mane, Joel Matip, and Georginio Wijnaldum arrive along with Loris Karius and Ragnar Klavan. Klopp’s first full season does not include another final but the Reds finished fourth place in the Premier League to secure a return to the Champions League.
2017-18
Barcelona spends stupid money on exciting but overhyped Philippe Coutinho, and those funds will be spent well, with Mohamed Salah, Andy Robertson, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain the summer jewels (Dominc Solanke is a miss). Virgil van Dijk arrives on Jan. 1. Another fourth place finish in the Premier League, but this will be remembered for the run to the Champions League Final. The Reds lost to Real Madrid as Sergio Ramosinjured Mohamed Salah after 31 minutes and goalkeeper Loris Karius’ concussion was somehow unaddressed in a 3-1 loss.
2018-19
This summer brings Fabinho and Alisson Becker, along with Xherdan Shaqiri and Naby Keita. The Reds return with a vengeance and a 97-point campaign that found them second to Man City in the Premier League. An incredible comeback in the Champions League semifinal brought Liverpool to a final versus Spurs in Madrid, where a controversial early penalty helped the Reds toward the European Cup and a 2-1 win.
2019-20
A quiet transfer summer aisde from Harvey Elliott, with Takumi Minamino arriving in January. Who needs additions? For the first time since 1990, Liverpool win the Premier League. They nearly hit 100 points (99) along the way, and win the UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup. Klopp’s men bow out of the Champions League to Atletico Madrid in the Round of 16 and lose the Community Shield to Man City in penalties.
2020-21
Klopp buys Kostas Tsimikas, Thiago Alcantara, and Diogo Jota but a big injury to Virgil van Dijk basically sinks the season, as Liverpool finish third with 69 points. There’s a Champions League quarterfinal run but this is a rough one.
2021-22
Another quiet summer aside from a splashy buy of in-demand center back Ibrahima Konate, but Luis Diaz is purchased in the January window to help the attack… Another second-place finish with 92 points, and a FA and League Cup double!
2022-23
Liverpool open up the vault for Darwin Nunez, but a mostly-unaddressed midfield leaves Klopp with the second-fewest Premier League points of his tenure (a late loan for Arthur does nothing). Cody Gakpo arrives in January, and there’s a Community Shield win and a Champions League Round of 16 run but tournament play is substandard, too.
2023-24
Course correction in a big way, as Liverpool gets Saudi Pro League money for Fabinho and Jordan Henderson and uses it to help bring in stars Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, Ryan Gravenberch, and Wataru Endo account for more than 180 million dollars in transfer spending on the midfield. The Reds are in the League Cup Final, leading the Premier League, and alive in Europa League as favorites. Will silverware arrive at Anfield, and if so, how many items?
Short summaries of the seasons under Klopp from Yahoo.
No disrespect to previous legendary managers but nowadays we have access to more pictures, videos, articles and interviews than ever.
Think it would be a great idea to start 8 threads (one for the first 1,5 seasons and one for each of the other seven seasons) to do the Klopp era justice.
I’m sure all of us have some great (and some bad) memories and stories to tell.
Would @moderators be ok with that?
